I am 5 weeks post op and two nights ago I rolled on to my stomach while sleeping. I have been feeling a bit off since that time. I have soreness in my abdomen, I almost feel as though I have a mild reflux situation occurring.

I have also experienced random shortness of breath and dizziness and I am very fatigued mid-day.

I admittedly need to make a more concentrated effort to get all 64 oz of Fluid in each day, I am just a little concerned about how I have been feeling.

I saw my surgeon Monday but was feeling perfectly fine at that time. I'd like to avoid over-reacting as well as under-reacting.

Has anyone experienced any of these things?

Might be acid reflux. Do you take a ppi? I've been going crazy not being able to sleep on my side, can't imagine sleeping on my stomach with my acid reflux. I've been very short of breath too,nsomething I've never had much of a problem with. Follow up in a week and a half I'm going to ask why.

Up your Water intake, for sure. Call your doctor on Monday about the pain, but it's probably just a slightly pulled stitch. If the pain were severe, I'm betting you'd already be at the ER.

The dizziness is probably related to dehydration. If you keep getting dizzy, you may need to call your doctor or hit the ER for some IV fluids.

      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.
