You didn't share much info..so I might be off base but uber low carb makes me stoopid. During weight loss phase, walking into walls...Haha..was a sure sign of needing carbs.

I apologize...I was sleeves two weeks ago today and on a full liquid diet. Just noticed I have been spacey or loss of words or what I went to do...forgetful. Just not normally like me to not be able to find the words I was going to say and space out.

I was sleeved on the 15th of April and I too noticed a forgetfulness during the liquids phase. I couldn't find the words I was looking for when conversing. Id loose my train of though easily, etc...I found it improved as I got to the purees and mushies. Maybe the anesthesia was still working itself off too.

Yes, I have noticed it has happened to me also. But it could be a number of things for me. Hormones, getting older...wait...

What was the question?

I am 6 weeks post op and just read the symptoms of Ketosis which can include being spacey! I was really worried but I am assured this, too, shall pass! Most of us will experience the Ketosis because of the carb restriction....I have experienced most of the symptoms including headaches....but am finding my perspiration has an odor I have never had before....I live in AZ and summer is starting but I think this is a side effect of the surgery....anyone else had this happen?

I experienced some random forgetfulness and I'm usually on top of every detail. I'm 8 weeks out. Still very tired and wondering when that will go away. I'm doing everything as instructed. My work isn't suffering but it's been non-stop, plus stress since going back.

Well went for follow up today and doctor said it could because of being on the liquid stage and the body adjusting. Now I can go to next stage and slowly introduce foods. I have lost 13 pounds in two weeks! Today I have finely cut up egg beater eggs that was good. I am hoping the spacey/forgetfulness will go away once I get to eating food! Thank you everybody! I appreciate it!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
