Question:
I'm feeling weak all the time!

It's been two weeks since my surgery,I was really starting to feel great until three days ago when my legs started feeling weak and I threw up for the first time.Now I am feeling hungry but when I eat I feel worse.I'm eating regularly and lots of protien,but always feel like I've got low blood sugar. My doc doesnt seem to worried.How can I get over feeling like this? HELP    — Vel K. (posted on February 9, 2001)

The same thing happened to me when I was about four months post-op. I wasn't taking my iron which wasn't very smart of me since I'm anemic. I resumed my iron intake and several days later, all the weakness was gone and I haven't had a recurrence since. I'm two years post op having had surgery on Feb. 8, 1999. I've gone from 314 lbs. to 155. :-)
