Why am I always feeling weak? Sometimes it goes away but most of the time it stays. It helps when I eat a little but not by much. I'm also feeling nauseous. I went grocery shopping today and the nausea was as worse as it ever got. On top of the nausea and weakness, I'd feel really hot and nearly pass out til I leaned on the cart.

I don't know what's wrong, did I do too much today or is it normal to go through that after I get the surgery? I wish I didn't forget to mention this at my first follow up appointment. I get nervous while I'm at the hospital....

Did your surgeon prescribe you a anti-reflux medicine like Prevacid? I had to take that for 6 months. Also, are you getting your fluids and Protein in? Especially the fluids - you could be dehydrating. If you can't drink plain Water, try warm or hot Decaf tea, broth, etc.

I almost feel out in Khols when I was 2 weeks post op. Same symptoms you said. I just made sure I drank more Water and got the Protein in after that. Went to Walmart Friday morning and managed to get through the store with out feeling that way. I'm 4 weeks post op now.

Let's remember you are less than 1 month from surgery and for the first 6 weeks your body is healing from surgery. So there is a tremendous amount of energy that is being devoted to your body healing itself. Getting your Protein and Water in is key. Dehydration is serious business and can make you feel weak and nauseous. While you are at your appointment, talk to your team about it.

She gave me Zantac. I try to get my fluids and protein in but the most ounces I can get in are 24 ounces for the entire day. I can't get much protein in because I get full after 2 bites.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
