I know some call this onederland, but since I wasn't all that much heavier than 200 lbs (225), let's just say "under 200."

So officially I am down 26 lbs. I am one week and two days out. (Plus I lost during the pre op diet)

I feel like it comes at a bit of a price. I haven't been feeling nearly as good the past day or so. I was doing WONDERFUL and then-BAM.... out of breath, light headed, just kind of a blah feeling. I am hoping to get some rest today and push Protein. Hopefully that will help.

Congratulations to you! I can totally relate to the light headed and blah feeling, nothing hurts but man do i feel blah. . .i've been doing the Vitamin thing, the Protein thing, the Water thing, and still feel really light headed. . .noticed however my pulse doesn't go over 48 though, could be a problem huh? It was over 76 whenever i was fatter, now that i've lost some weight it's back down to my earlier years. . back when i was younger it never went over 50 . . . lowest in the high 30's, highest in the high 40's . . . probably something to tell the doc about you think?????

Congratulations on getting "under 200"!! Regardless of where you started, that has to feel terrific.

I'm sorry your energy is lagging. I hope it picks up soon!

THINONEDAY:

A pulse under 48 with the kind of symptoms you are having, when your normal is in the 70's, is an emergency situation and you should seek medical attention immediately. SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD DRIVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL...YOU COULD PASS OUT. Please let us know how you are doing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
