Hello everyone,

Well, I've finally hit my eight week mark and things are up sometimes and then they're down. Here are some of the things I'm dealing with and I want to know if anyone else has had any of these issues as well:

  1. Sore throat........my throat has been sore since they took that stupid tube from down my throat, again I'm two months out and it's still bothering me.
  2. Body part falling asleep..............as of today both of my legs and my stomach have that feeling when your body parts fall asleep, and now I'm getting scared because that sounds like poor circulation issue.
  3. My tongue feels so weird...................it like hurts whenever I eat something, hard or soft.
  4. Weak feeling........Do any of you still feel kind of weak after you eat? I even feel that way sometimes before I eat anything.

Your input would be really helpful at this time. I really hope nothing is majorly wrong, I don't want to go back to the hospital.

If I were you I would call my doctor immediately and tell them all that you are experiencing. It sounds like you might have some sort of Vitamin deficiency. How are you doing in terms of vitamin intake?

I would say call your doc office too.... its better to be safe than sorry...

The feeling weak stayed with me longer than other people, I felt weaker at 4 weeks post op than I did at 1 week. Doc ran all kinds of tests on me, everything was fine, just my body needing more time to adjust I guess..... then little by little I started having more energy. But you have several issues going on... I would call doctor & go in to see him, just get checked out so you know everything is o.k..

good luck

      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.
