Has anyone else noticed any memory loss since surgery?

I don't know if it is related, but in the last few months forget a lot & I have been feeling totally stunned. :)

My husband I now emailing me his daily itinerary so I don't forget what he has told me.

Are you sure you're getting enough Protein and taking a good multi Vitamin?

Then you should go see your PCM. If you're getting adequate nutrition you shouldn't be fuzzy that way.

make sure you get a good b-complex Vitamin it helps.. and is essential in our diets for memory and other things as well.. if that doesn't help.. i think you should go see the Dr. you might be lacking in various vitamins.. or it could be something else.. either way it wouldnt hurt to get it checked out.. Good Luck to you

It could be "normal" too...perimenopausal etc. But I really would get it checked out if it were me...UNLESS you are under a lot of stress and tuning your husband out? (coping mechanism?)

If you are getting a good quality and amount of Vitamins then maybe it is just that you have a lot on your mind. We were banded around the same time and I know that having the band has consumed a lot of my thoughts. I am concerned about what I am eating and will eat tomorrow, how much exercise I've done, how much weight I have lost, do I need a fill?, am I doing everything right?, is my band OK, etc. It is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing at night. All of that has caused me to drop the ball on my everyday tasks. I am hoping that soon I will not be so consumed with my band.

But yes, make sure you are getting in enough nutrients with food and supplements.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
