Hiyas! I'm post op day 5. While I'm sure I'm taking my supply of Vitamins and supplements, Water is harder. I used to slam a bunch when I'd get the chance. Now I have to learn to steadily sip it alllll daaaaay...... Anyway, I'm woozy. I'm not in a lot of pain today. Not much at all in fact, yay! But I always feel slightly buzzed, not taking any pain meds either. I was just standing in the kitchen feeding my baby and I felt like I should sit down. My visions a little blurry sometimes. Are you all feeling this too? Our bodies are going through big changes, it all makes sense. Right?

I was wondering about this as well...I am on the pre-op and I have felt the same way. Mine will go away when I eat/driink a Protein Shake. Could it your body telling you need some Protein?

A serious reduction in calories can cause this. Your body will adjust and it will get better. I had blurry vision for a couple of days after surgery but everything has gone back to normal now.

I struggled with this terribly for the first week after surgery, with the seventh day being the worst. Once I added a few "healthy" carbs to my diet it helped. I still had light-headedness periodically until my PCP took me off my blood pressure meds, and now I'm completely back to normal.

Probably have a little low sugar...I felt similar on day 5 and tested my sugar and it was 52...I called my sugeon and got permission to move up to full liquids and added a few things with carbs in it to my diet and I felt much better.

I thought a white tongue was an indicator of thrush but we have so much going on right now... could it be your bariatric Vitamins?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
