Reaching out here, hoping someone else has felt this way...I am one month post op. Eating my puréed/soft foods has not been an issue for, nor has getting in my Protein or Fluid requirements. (Thankfully). What I am having an issue with is weakness, horrible insomnia, and headaches. I think the headaches are from lack of sleep ( haven't had a full restful night since coming home) and therefore when I wake in the morning, I have a raging headache which makes me nauseous and sometimes I vomit. I go back to sleep for a bit and push myself to move on with the rest of my day (which headache will be dull or gone, can eat and drink w/o issues, etc). I don't think it's dehydration, but definitely have this weakness. It's a push to shower and do my daily walk. Past two days I have walked because the headache has been so bad. And at night the insomnia cycle repeats. I've tried warm milk, Benadryl, and mediation/soothing sounds with little relief.

Haven't called doc yet because it's so vague. Any ideas?

Yes I have been taking Vitamins since post op. I called doctor this morning....they made me come in, vitals were normal and they drew some blood work. They did say I could be experiencing ketaosis flu...which is the body adjusting to rapid weight loss. Will know more tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll have answers soon. Thanks for the support!
