I'm noticing that when I go for my 30 minute walk I am out of breath, especially when I try and talk to my husband at the same time.

Also notice it when doing chores around the house.

Is this normal? As I wasn't out of breath walking before the surgery. 16 days post op.

Tia for all responses!

Maybe you should call your surgeon's office if you haven't been sick or had a cold/bronchitis and if you do not have asthma.

I am as well. I has been getting better. I chalk it up to the 400 calories I'm taking in right now on the liquid diet. I expect it will get better when I move to purees. I also have a cold that probably doesn't help. I finding it getting better day by day. Feel a huge improvement today (15 days post op)

It can be a symptom of blood clots in your lungs. This close to surgery, I'd say it's better to be safe than sorry. I called my doctors office almost every day with some new symptom, which all turned out to be nothing. I sounded like a crazy person, but I didn't care. :)

I'm going to call the nurse tomorrow and see if she thinks i need to come in? Is being out of breath a symptom of blood clots?

Yes it can be a symptom of clots and with surgery not that far out that is my first suspicion. If you get any chest pain or it worsens call 911.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
