Four days post surgery and I keep getting the jitters. Any ideas?

Just relax and take each day at a time, this is a system that truly works. Give your body time to recover and you will do amazing!

Take it one day at the time and you'll be fine. Every day may be different but you'll get there.

I had a day around then that I had no energy and could not get warm. I figured out that I probably had a low grade fever which is normal after surgery. My daughter said you can have withdrawal from the pain meds too. You may just be having an alergic reaction the the pain meds or maybe a withdrawal... Just a thought..

I was jittery 1 day post op (I just had my band placed Monday the 16th) and it was because my blood sugar was 45...normally it is in the 120's. Just an idea! How long til this GAS GOES AWAY!! I just want to burp and feel better!

HI Deb,

I haven't had my lapband surgery yet (12/9/09), but I have had 2 other surgeries earlier this year. I always feel totally "weird" for several days after the general anesthesia. Happy, then sad, then tired, then energy, etc. For me, I think it's like withdrawal symptoms or something. It does go away after a few days.

Many people with weight issues have fluctuations in Blood Sugar. It is usually referred to as Insulin Resistance, but it actually is a pre diabetic condition. Especially after a change in diet, if your normal sugars drop even a little, this can cause something that can be described as Jitters. I am diabetic, and I would not describe it that way, but you know everyone is different. I have a feeling that if you don't feel better after eating something or drinking something substancial, it is likely to be something else.
