Last night I skipped dinner because my stomach was feeling just odd. Thursday night my son had a stomach flu maybe it was a touch of that, but this morning I could barely stand up and sit down with my 9 month old God son in my arms. It was a bizarre feeling I haven't had since my heart problems started 10 years ago. I squatted down to pick something up later and seriously did not have the energy to stand back up. Until yesterday I have met my Protein goals and have been feeling great.I'm pushing the liquids and ate protein once today all though I could not eat much. If it is not better by morning, I'll call in, with my bum heart I have always had down days where I was so tired I had to rest maybe I'm getting spoiled so today caught me off guard.

At about 6-8 weeks post surgery I was very weak and tired (by around 3 pm I was too tired to do much) and my pulse was down to 50 beats per minute. My blood test results were normal and a 24 hour heart monitor showed nothing wrong with my heart. It went away after about a week and a half but the doctors never did figure out what caused it. Maybe you have the same thing I had.

I hope so, still just trying to get Fluid down and not anything else. Feel ok but have to try and get my meds down.

I had the same problem yesterday. I felt so weak. I think it's because I didn't have any Protein in the morning!

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
