6 days post-op-very weak

I am 6 days post-op from Roux-en-y surgery.  Before day 5, I was really sore but had energy.  Yesterday and today I have zero energy, feel lethargic, still running a fever, and cold.  I don't hardly have the energy to lift the glass to my mouth to drink.  Am certainly not getting all of my protein and and try as I may am only getting between 20-30 ounces of liquids.  Concerned that I might be dehydrated.  Are these feelings normal at this point?

They weren't for me.  I was told to call my surgeon if I had a fever - I really think you should call and let them know what's going on. 

I hope you feel better soon!

I agree.  Phone your surgeon. A fever is not normal.  Mayb you need some antibiotics?  Definately more protein!

Hi Kim,

Gosh, I hate to even suggest it, but you cant put this off.  You have to seek your surgeons medical advise.  I pray that it just your cold that came at a very very poor time.  Do not be afraid!!  I know this is very much a bummer for you to be dealing with.  The chances are high, one mention of fever, you will have to go to ER.  Time is definitely extremely important.  I would hope that you could talk to someone on call to help you through this.  Man, I just have no idea.  Your instincts I pray will guide you.  Take care and know this will all get better soon.  Take Care and God Bless you with His healing and restore you.       Pam

If you have a fever, must call your doctor.  You can call after hours.  Very important.  You may be getting dehydrated.  I stayed hydrated on 20-30 ounces but there may be differences with surgeries and such
