So exhausted



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 weeks post-op and I'm so very tired and exhausted. Will this ever get better?

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.

      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.
