I had my surgery July 10 and not one has been a good day for me even after taking all my Protein and Water. I feel lazy, sore, and hungry all the time. When I try to watch tv I see blurry. If I walk to much I get a headache. At night I get bad acid reflux. I have pills that I take for that but it doesn't seem to work as great. So now I bought tums. As far as eating all I have is broth. I'm starting to get stress that I will ALWAYS feel this way. I see different post from ppl out of surgery the same day and they are doing so great. I just keep prayer I'll have a normal day where I just feel good :( the worse part is I wish at times I never got the procedure.

Also I take B12 and a multi Vitamin

Blurry vision and headache are both signs of dehydration. Why are you only on broth? Have you tried sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello? What kind of Protein are you having? Also, if you're taking pain meds, they can really make you feel out of whack.

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. You should contact your surgeon and talk to him/her or a nurse in the office. You are only 6 days out and once you get on full liquids and purees, you'll probably feel more energy.

You can't give up, so work hard at getting the help you need to make this better.

Best wishes!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
