Need help 4 week out

[joshmn 0]

Had my surgery on September 19th all went good till the 3rd week out now i ALWAYS feel light headed kind of feels like I'm in a dream all day long bad confusion and arms feel heavy and big until i concentrate on them. I was in the ER for this they pumped me full of fluids incase of dehydration all meds stopped I'm getting fluids n Protein Drinks n just started pureed foods. Surgeon said to come in if it didnt get better but it comes and goes one day seems ok next horrible. Has anyone had this problem i really dont want to spend another day in the er just to hear go home n push fluids. N im sorry if this isnt posted where it needs to be kinnda confused right now

were you on blood pressure meds before surgery?

i am - and i assume these will need to be tapered down as I lose weight

also - i read about one guy in Australia who had some issues like this coz he tried to eat only twice a day ( work schedule)

I hope you get through this patch soon

Wondering about your blood sugar levels. Low levels can cause fatigue, confusion, sweating, shakiness, headaches, etc. I am diabetic, so I know the signs, but I am assuming for many people who aren't diabetic, but have been insulin-resistent due to weight, your body is used to pumping out large doses of insuin. Have you tried 4 oz. or more of juice? 4oz. has about 15 g. of carbs, and may be what you need. Give it a shot if you can. good luck!
