Have any of you feel shaky or jittery? Kind of like when you don't eat for a while? I have been feeling this way when I wake up or sometimes during the day. I check my blood sugar levels and they are normal and don't know what's the cause. I was sleeved on 8/14 if that helps.

Yes, I get this feeling sometimes too.

I am 5 weeks today.

I find the better hydrated the less I feel like that. It is all a learning curve with finding the right Proteins that don't make you feel ill. Trying new things & exercise limits as you move along.

I also felt like this a lot this past weekend at my son's soccer tournament. I usually stand the whole time but felt very woozy and needed to keep sitting down. It wasn't hot just humid. I have been really focusing on keeping my fluids up.

I have also felt this at times, usually when I am dehydrated and logically I think this is a tremendous change for our bodies without much of our food supply. When I feel like that, I get hydrated ASAP, followed by a healthy snack with mostly Protein and some carbohydrate to stabilize my body. I am not diabetic, but I seem to need more carbs than some to feel healthy.

Yes, I feel the same thing...just this morning....shaky and weak...and then I realize I haven't had anything but water! I'm trying to remember that the first thing I need to do when I wake up is get some protien in me. I'm 2.5 weeks out. My dr. Also said that because of so little cal./fat/carb intake that overnight our bodies go into starvation mode so eating within 30 mins of waking is very important....not to mention it helps with metabolism.

Saw the doctor and was told to take less of my diabetic meds.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
