Still feel so weak.



Recommended Posts

Unfortunately I was put back in the hospital after surgery for an infection which antibiotics kicked my butt. I'm now 4 weeks out and I go to the store and by the time I get to the register I feel like I can pass out. Anyone else have any issues getting the energy back?

I had no complications and feel like this last week I turned a corner from an energy perspective. I'm just over 2 months out. It will get better!

I felt the same. Two weeks out. I have tried to do two things which helped me a lot:

1) Up your Protein. I add a bowl of greek yogurt to my Soup. Greek yogurt is very high in Protein and an easy way to make your protein intake easier. I also try to blend an egg in the Soup from time to time.

2) Water Water water. The only two times I felt dizzy and low on energy is when I less than half what I need to drink.

All the best.

The yogurt should help for Probiotics too...tge v antibiotics could have stripped you of energy via nutrients

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
