Feeling great..just so dang tired



Recommended Posts

Tuesday will make 6 weeks for me and I'm starting to really feel great! Hubby had foot surgery and is non weight bearing for a few weeks and I'm picking up the pace more and more..this upcoming week is about as jam packed as I could ever think of making it and...I'm so tired all the time! I'm happy don't get me wrong...probably the happiest I've been in awhile..just get so dang tired!! I'm getting all my Protein & Fluid in religiously. I did have another episode where I thought I would faint but fortunately I didn't this time but I called my dr. Go in fri when he's back in town and until then will see my PCM if these fainting issues rear their head. So...did anyone else experience this? I'm so tired I feel like I can barely make it through my day. I'm still using my Cpap so I'm not relating this to my sleep apnea. Idk.?

In the beginning I had the fainting spells. It went away. Then numb fingers took extra Calcium that solve that issue.

Have you checked your blood pressure?

I had this happen as well early on. Went to my pcp and my blood pressure was barely 90/60. Went off my hb medicine right away. Make sure you stay well hydrated too. Dehydration can make you feel faint.

No I haven't but that was something the nurse mentioned also it could be. I'm keeping a food log also to take

      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!
