Has anyone else noticed any memory loss since surgery?

I don't know if it is related, but in the last few months forget a lot & I have been feeling totally stunned. :)

My husband I now emailing me his daily itinerary so I don't forget what he has told me.

Then you should go see your PCM. If you're getting adequate nutrition you shouldn't be fuzzy that way.

make sure you get a good b-complex Vitamin it helps.. and is essential in our diets for memory and other things as well.. if that doesn't help.. i think you should go see the Dr. you might be lacking in various vitamins.. or it could be something else.. either way it wouldnt hurt to get it checked out.. Good Luck to you

It could be "normal" too...perimenopausal etc. But I really would get it checked out if it were me...UNLESS you are under a lot of stress and tuning your husband out? (coping mechanism?)

If you are getting a good quality and amount of Vitamins then maybe it is just that you have a lot on your mind. We were banded around the same time and I know that having the band has consumed a lot of my thoughts. I am concerned about what I am eating and will eat tomorrow, how much exercise I've done, how much weight I have lost, do I need a fill?, am I doing everything right?, is my band OK, etc. It is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing at night. All of that has caused me to drop the ball on my everyday tasks. I am hoping that soon I will not be so consumed with my band.

But yes, make sure you are getting in enough nutrients with food and supplements.

      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.
