Still weak

[Bill S.]

I’m 3 and a half weeks from my surgery and I want to know is it still normal to be really weak and light headed all the time ? I’m drinking two protein shakes a day to puréed meals a day and 2 or 3 waters .i know I need more water. Am I just dehydrated or is it because I’m still healing from the surgery?

Hey Bill, sorry you're still feeling like this. Feeling tired and weak can linger for a while but if you're still feeling light-headed often, I'd call the doctor. You really may need an IV for hydration. If you are dehydrates, it will make you feel SO much better, almost instantly. Please call the doctor in the morning.

Bill, I'm a week behind you. I know if I don't get enough water, I get tired. If I eat too fast, I don't want to drink water and get tired easily. We're only taking in a minimal amount of calories which our bodies are not used to. Hang in there.
