James Marusek 5,244 Posted November 22, 2017 The three most important elements after RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight. Right after surgery, some patients report being tired. But it could be due to several causes. So it is a little hard to point you in the right direction. Normally before you left the hospital, I suspect they administered B12 vitamin in shot form. These are normally good for a month. But a lack of B12 could produce these symptoms. So you might check to see if you were given B12 and in what form after surgery. Dehydration can also cause these symptoms. According to the internet: The body's initial responses to dehydration are thirst to increase Water intake, and decreased urine output to try to conserve water loss. The urine will become concentrated and more yellow in color. As the level of water loss increases, more symptoms can become apparent. The following are further signs and symptoms of dehydration. Dry mouth Eyes stop making tears Sweating may stop Muscle cramps Nausea and vomiting Heart palpitations Lightheadedness (especially when standing) Weakness Decreased urine output So to wrap things up, you should not be feeling extremely weak at 2 weeks post-op and you need to investigate the cause and run it too the ground. 1 Punkysmom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
