shavone25 1 Posted April 6, 2012 I am 9 days post op and I have been feeling great. No problem drinking getting my liquids and Protein then yesterday I started having a hard time drinking Fluid. I felt a sick to my stomach and bloated and had to force myself to drink. Last night I felt such a exits I couldn't get to sleep. I woke up this morning and I still don't fell like I can drink and I fell really shaky. I have never had depression or anexiety issues. I also did not have any comorbities like diabetes or high blood pressure. But I do fell weak and dizzy today almost like my sugar is low or something. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice that could help I'm never sick and feel like I'm going crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gramaof4 58 Posted April 6, 2012 Try POP CYCLE,,,,,this will help your sugar...restriction is strange can vary from day to day. Some days I can drink like crazy others I feel the sipping restriction take hold...call your Dr. if you feel something is wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dooter 1,457 Posted April 6, 2012 Even if you have to call the doctor for advice, do it, because in a couple more days you will end up in the E.R. with an i.v. You can dehydrate VERY quickly at this stage. 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted April 6, 2012 Your sugar may very well be low. I agree with Dooter; this is a great time to call your doctor to rule out problems. 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mews 37 Posted April 6, 2012 I second calling your doctor to get some advice. I'm going through something very similar right now with weakness and dizziness. My doc actually told me to eat more sugar as I'm not getting in enough calories. I'm not diabetic but I've had issues before with low blood sugar levels. 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted April 6, 2012 Agreed with all above, please call your Dr. Likely it is low blood sugar too, so in the mean time drink about 8 Oz of G2 - see how that helps. *hugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topgun 63 Posted April 6, 2012 I'm 9 days out and am having similar problems. After one bad day of not being able to get enough Fluid, Protein and/or calories I felt like YUK. After seeing my dr. yesterday, he recommended I go in to get a liter of IV fluids transfused and I'm doing that this a.m. I really pushed yesterday and took in more calories and fluids by way of apple juice & broth and that has made me feel better. Still weak, tho. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saved my bacon that first week with Clear Liquids. I like the little powder packs. Tastes better somehow. I even dilute it more than it says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shavone25 1 Posted April 6, 2012 Thanks for all the help I talked to my dr. Office and they gave me similar advice. I am now worried about a blockage in my stomach I feel stuffed compared to normally feeling satisfied and I am burping up tons of air almost like my stomach is trying to digest but it's not going down. I feel stuff up to my esophagus. I almost wish I could just throw up to feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
