ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted November 19, 2016 feeling OK but weak @@JF814 your system/tummy have been through a lot these past few days YOU'VE been through a lot being a little weak goes with the territory glad you are trying to drink as many Protein Shakes as possible water too - you can't afford to get dehydrated don't push/rush things relax, rest, rest and then rest some more if you have little kids, hopefully someone can help or you could always have them play in traffic!! no rush to get back to work if you must return, try and go 1/2 days ease back into things you should take care of you for now you deserve some TLC you will feel better and stronger as time goes on good luck kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
higher 966 Posted November 19, 2016 It's definitely normal to feel weak honey. Just focus on rest and meeting your hydration goals as much as possible. Getting your fluids in will help you feel stronger. But take it easy and rest up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leh720 1 Posted November 19, 2016 I had surgery Monday and am definitely feeling week. Also notice I feel short of breath at times. My doc has me on Clear liquids only until Monday, hoping the introduction of Protein shakes will help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ksmom 4 Posted November 19, 2016 I felt the same way on day 5 and my son got me some pedialyte and low sugar gatorade. Took a little over a few hours and felt amazingly better. Guess i needed electrolytes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
