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?
