Heat Exhaustion?

[Magsnlucy 10]

We have a heat wave going on over here in Boston and I think I got a pretty bad case of heat exhaustion yesterday. I'm just over 3 weeks out and it was a really sick feeling I had. I was SUPER tired. More tired than I had ever felt. (besides waking up post op lol). And I felt like

I had no strength. I was walking back to my house with my iPad and a drink and nearly dropped them both because they were to heavy. I slept last night from about 7:00 pm to about 10:00 this morning... CRAZY!! Lol. Has this

Happened to anyone?

I was sleeping a lot for the first month. Which made it really hard to get in my fluids and Protein. Once I came back to work things got better, but I think it was because I got myself on a food/fluid regimen that allowed me to meet my nutritional requirements.

The one time I had heat exhaustion, I felt as though I was freezing to death from the inside out; I remember wearing my winter coat. My roommate (RN) kept giving me fluids and salty Snacks. I wanted to just sit and do nothing, but I didn't fall asleep. Have your symptoms subsided after your really good night's sleep?

I'm still tired but I haven't been outside yet! Lol. It's going to be another toasty 90+ day so I plan on staying inside as much as I can

WOW - if you think you had a real episode - especially post-sleeve or on the pre-op diet - you should go to the doctor. Truly serious on this - it is a more traumatic event that you realize. You stressed your heart, your kidneys, your skin, your limp system, your BRAIN...you depleted amino acids and minerals you may not have had enough of anyway.

If you can, go get checked out.

go to the doctor, you might be dehydrated . I spent 2 days out in the sun and had to go to the ER to get fluids for being severly dehydrated.

I agree... go to the doc and get checked out. Heat exhaustion is nothing to mess with. Better to be safe than sorry.

I'll take that over 110 degrees in Phoenix!

I was really tired from about three to six weeks out from surgery. I was going to bed at 8 p.m., which is unheard of for me, and I was usually falling asleep before that. I think it was just part of my recovery.

I'm very glad to hear that because I have been exhausted since my surgery 9 days ago. It's hard to start exercising.
