Weird things happening



Recommended Posts

So, every day, through out the day since surgery, my face has became really warm and flushed. No fever. Not dehydrated (well my urine is normal colored) and i take all of my Vitamins. I just “don’t feel good” like I feel absolute blah. I don’t know if this is normal or if it’s something else. Did anyone else experience this? I had my surgery on Monday, 9/9. Yes, I know I just had major surgery but I read other posts and people seem like they are going for a 2 mile jog. I’m a worry wart.

I have no idea how old you are but WLS can bring on early menopause. Could it be a hot flash? Oh, I see you're 24. Bad guess. Good luck figuring it out.

I get the same way and my surgery was 9/4. I am barely taking longer walks. And when I do I am wiped out. Everyone is different. Go at your own pace.

Not surgery related but I get those symptoms both from blood sugar fluctuations and when my thyroid levels are not right.

I think this is normal. You aren't eating. You just had major surgery. I remember how EXHAUSTED I got from just taking showers. I couldn't eat much at all. I had no will to eat during the first few weeks. Like after I got out of the shower, I had to rest before I could even put on my clothes. I had no pain or anything, just weakness. It gets better with time. I am 8 months out and feel energized. I eat around 600-800 calories and workout everyday.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
