Feeling weak :(

[gabbisha 28]

I got my sleeve on 8/27 it's now 9/3 and I feel really weak. Protein Shakes are making me sick they don't taste good at all. Am I able to take a multi Vitamin? Or something to give me energy?

How is that even a question. What kind of Dr's plans are you following. Most I have seen have you on chewable 2 weeks before surgery. Yes take some chewable bariatic or Multi Vitamins and B12...

Try some electrolytes. That helped me when I was feeling weak or dizzy. I preferred the powder I could add to Water rather than G2 but I think either works.

Hope you feel better soon!!

A Multivitamin is an absolute must. For the first 30 days you might need something chewable. I am 4 weeks now, and I get nauseated every morning from my One-a-Day, but that is partly because there is no way I can get down food in the morning. You should also be taking B12, D3, and Calcium. These do not give me anywhere near as many problems.

Try Isopure whey isolate Protein drinks. It is a clear liquid, and has 40 g of Protein, no carbs, and no fat. Ensure and the like makes me absolutely sick (both before and after). I hope that's not what you are drinking.

@gabbisha I was told recently at my preop class that a childrens chewable Vitamin such as Flintstone Vitamins should be taken twice a day Post-op 1-30 days. 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. I am not sure if that speaks for everyone, just what I found out in class. and sublingual Vitamin B-12(Dissolves under tongue). But per the dietician that is once a week.

Everyone's instructions are different I am just basing off my class! Congrats on your new sleeve and good luck. My surgery is September 22nd.. 19 day's away!

chewable vitamins, sublingual B's, enhanced Water with electrolytes and minerals. Probiotics are great too. Your weakness will get better. I promise. ❤️

thank you so much for your answer. Wish you the best on your surgery. It's tough at the beginning but well worth it

For sure take some chewable multivits! I struggled with Protein Shakes the first few days but I found that it wasn't so much the shake, but the flavour I bought. Have you got a variety of flavours? Find one you can stomach and stick to it till you're feeling up to other ones.
