thinner-me 160 Posted October 9, 2015 I'm a lapband to sleeve on October 5, 2015, i am four days post op and I'm fatigued and am having a little bit of shortness of breath. I talked with my doctor this morning he is not concerned right now about the SOB he thinks it's part of my fatigue since I'm not having any chest pain and I can deep breathe without any problems does anybody else feel this way? I am fatigued and have some shortness of breath also. Not too bad. I just can't quite get in all the calories that I'm supposed to. I feel like I'm eating or sipping all day and I'm only in the 300 calorie range. Yesterday was in the 200s. So maybe tomorrow will be even better. Hang in there! Everyday will be better than the last. That's what I keep telling myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrieverguy 411 Posted October 9, 2015 I am fatigued also. I get Soups on Monday. Hope that helps. After we can ad pureed foods it will help. Hang in there I have been told the energy level will go thru the roof after foods are introduced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surgerydude 40 Posted October 9, 2015 I with you all - shortness of breath (especially bad, since I live in the Colorado mountains at about 10,000 feet!), exhaustion and general weakness. Also lots of gas. My puree/full liquid starts Tuesday, and I can't wait. First thing for me will be the "watery mashed potatoes" they offer in the Kaiser manual - I suspect it'll taste like a dream. About the only real flavor I've been getting is from the low sodium broths I bought, but those are not very fun to eat. Has anyone else notice the outrageous sodium content on most broths? I would have never noticed... -sd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

surgerydude 40 Posted October 10, 2015 Drank to much broth and it doubled me over. How about you? Not yet, but close. I was too anxious to get some flavor in my mouth, and ended up gulping too much. The Large Bubble Of Gas (think Godzilla-sized) made itself known, and I had to walk around in a circle unless a window-rattler came out. I'm starting to realize how much new stuff there is to learn. -sd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scamp662 15 Posted October 10, 2015 I am on Monday as well....its going to be a long 5 days! I'm nervous but very anxious to get this part over with. All my pre-op stuff went well. They said I am "very healthy" and should come through this just fine. I thought "sure I'm healthy except for the whole morbid obesity thing!"Yes I'm right there with you on the Morbidly Obese.
