Feel like a limp noodle.

So I had my revision on April 29, 4 1/2 hour surgery, my stomach had prolapsed and was adhered to my liver. Passed out in the hospital, couldn't get a BP for about 20 min, and ended up staying 3 nights. No pain since drain was removed ( the drain somehow slipped into my pelvic area causing A LOT of pain). Anyhow, I am just weak weak weak! Walk up the stairs sit for 20 min, have to sit to make Jello. I can drink anything at least 4 oz at a time. Getting about 60 gm of Protein. Prob 48 oz water/liquids. Still on full liquids. My BP is still low this morning it was 92/56. BS was 124. No fever, very little pain, largest incision does look a little angry. Down 14 lbs including pre-op. Do I sound normal? I'm just soooo weak!

Thanks Laurie

Hope you feel better real soon.

Call your dr. Sounds like a deficiency somewhere or infection. Good luck and keep us posted!

Talked to the surgeon a couple if hours ago. (I love her!) she said to up my Protein and calories. 90-100 gm of protein and 800-1000 cal. I know a lot of you say that's to high, but I also know I will never be able to start exercising if I don't have enough energy to stand up long enough to make a bowl of Jello. I had a half a cup of blended and strained bean with bacon Soup and a little extra protein added, and had enough energy an hour later to load the dishwasher.

Thanks!

I had no complications, and it was about two week before I could take a shower with out sitting halfway through. Just took a bit to get used to the low calories.

Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Yesterday gained .2 today it gone, but it will be interesting to see what a doubling of my calories will bring tomorrow.

Another problem could have been the fact that my blood sugars were down so much over a week ago. I remember when I was first dx'd with diabetes. I got my numbers down so fast I couldn't Stand up for 2 weeks.

Oh my yes, I am right there with you. I had surgery on 3/26 and didn't do anything for 6 weeks. This week if I do something I have to lay down afterwards. Probably a habit at this point. I don't exercise because my knee is mess up post surgery. Hang in there. I got a mani /pedi last weekend and felt like a new person.

Did my mani pedi the week before surgery. Can't justify another one dang it!! Maybe a mani. ( though hubby keeps taking the car so I can't ).
