so labs came back NORMAL........but i dont feel this way UPDATING

Update One (i am guessing i will  have more ) 

I don't eat like i should and i know that's one problem.  Though  i always (religiously )  watch HOW much  i eat and always watching my sugar intake.

SO i been  going back to soups and  protein meats etc.  I went to central market and got a few things and  Kroger's. SO  On Monday  will  start with a good breakfast (i never eat breakfast)  and  then i am doing the Bento lunch  kit   (see my blog )  then for supper i am going to do things from chicken spreads or  salads etc. I am going to   watch my starch intake and breads  (down fall) . After seeing some of your posts   thinking back it seems to me if memory is correct  when i have had  some bread that's when i feel sleepy  . But i am going to  log the whole month of April and on m y blog and   see  if i  still have these problems  which mean in cutting out  breads or minimize the intake etc.

Here is my blog  if you want to follow my diet in April  I am at doctors goal but i feel i need to tone up (gym) and  eat better so   i want to loose  25lbs more and its all going to be on my blog

Dehydration can cause that.  Are you getting enough fluids?

i fill like a river i havent  drunk anything bu****er since surgery   a year and three months ago

i did buy some FUZZ today   for something different  but all that  diet drink stuff bothers my stomach  ...........

Do you know what actual tests they did? Have you been tracking the results to watch for downward trends? You could be getting low on iron or something yet the results fall in a 'normal' range. That's why I was told to always get copies of my labs and monitor the results myself.

I'm no expert but from what I understand tests from only 5 vials of blood means they are missing something. My 6mo draw was 20 vials! It sounds like you're low on something, my first guess would be iron, but again...I'm not one of the lab gurus!

HI dee


i took my  lab work from tummy doc to   get same thing ran   and it normal

gave me meds for refulx and dizziy   but not sure about taking them

i will think about  it for a few days and see what  i want to do  just so stressed over this mess.........


something got to give  tired of feeling like i am a drunk ............i  have never been drunk but i sure do feel it though

5 tubes doesn't sound like enough to me, either.  What does your surgeon have to say about your symptoms? (Scarborough)

If you post your lab results they did maybe someone here could help you with them.  Did they do a blood sugar?

Sorry you are feeling bad and I hope you find out what is causing it soon.

I have never had more then  5 tubes every done ... actually i think  Dr S   only requested  3 maybe  last time i went to him . I havent  seen him since my  second  visit.


I have NEVER  had more then a couple tubes  and thats it .

I  was told  over the phone my results  i havent went to pick them up yet  probably one day next week

Hon you need to get copies of your labs, there is NO way they are testing enough with 3-5 tubes.  If you get copies and post the results and the ranges someone here I'd bet you $5 can tell you if it's WLS related.

Ok, well that sounds pretty light to me on the bloodwork, but regardless - why haven't you called your surgeon's office to let them know what is going on with you ?? 

1)  What test did they take, 5 vials of blood doesn't include near the test that YOU need to have done.  They draw 12 vials when I have mine done.

2)  What are you eating?  Too many carbs will make you very tired.

3)  What is your blood pressure, do you get dizzy when you stand up?
