Morning problems

[kaciii 38]

I'm two weeks post op today . I started back to work monday( I don't know if that has any thing to do with it or if it's the timeline) well when I wake up I immediately take a shower and when I get out I feel super nauseous and my heart races and I'm losing my breath. Now it goes away after my drive to work which is almost an hour ... I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this or knew what was causing it because it's super uncomfortable . Thanks!

Ps. Maybe tmi but I also get the feeling like I really have to poop. Really bad but of course I'm just out so its hard to go. Could that be related?

Don't know abt the bathroom part, but in the first month I was EXHAUSTED after I took a shower. My heart raced & I was out of breath & sometimes a little light-headed. It was SO ridiculous. I've never been one to nap, but I had to rest or nap after every shower. I'm 3 months out & don't really much need a nap unless I've done some intense exercise like walked 1-1.5 hrs the day before (I live in a hilly area) & that's about all that catches up w/ me now the next day. Listen to your body as best you can & get ready for a fantastic journey! Good luck!!!

Kaciii - do you eat or drink before you take your shower?

No I don't . I've been so nauseated I hardly eat or drink anything

That is probably the cause. You need to speak with your Surgeon about the nausea and be sure to get in your fluids and Protein.

sounds to me like you're expending more calories by the physical activity than you're taking in ( at least at that time of day )

that happened to me too ... so I had to be sure to try my best to balance things out ... it's tricky that early out ... especially having to get up and function ...

but it's a balance that it well worth the struggle !

You got this!
