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.

      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.
