4 weeks out, hut by a bus...or at least it feels that way.



Recommended Posts

Ok, I am not usually an alarmist, but considering how serious complications can be, I am taking no chances. I need advice from the vets.

I am four weeks out on Tuesday, within a few days after surgery I felt great. Then last week (at 3 weeks) I started to feel fatigued. It has just continued to worsen. As of today, I can barely keep my eyes open. I feel like I am going to faint. I am so insanely tired, I can barely function. I have a crazy headache. I am hydrated (pee clear, drinking over 64 oz). Up until today I have been over 60 grams Protein. Followed the diet exactly, no cheating. Taking my Vitamins, so what is this?

I have no other leak symptoms, no fever, no shortness of breath, no chest pains. But any idea what is going on? I was sleeved in Mexico and so the ER is my only resource for care. So I don't want to jump the gun and go to the ER unless necessary.

Please help with your thoughts.

Call your surgeon, and talk with him/her regarding your concerns.

I would go to a doctor 1st thing.

If your diet was high in sugar before that may explain the lose of energy feeling.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
