Re: Question....feeling weak

[Guest guest]

Mike,

I also got the ISOPURE drinks at GNC, but mine only cost 2.50 plus buy one

get one half off. I made my husband buy allllll of them. They do taste great!

I got them at the Ft GNC, in Tacoma Washington. It may be cheaper

there due to it being on a Military base. We still had to pay sales tax though.

Hello Luke and ,

Im about 5 weeks post surgery myself. I was very weak and tired for

the first two weeks, and in general felt nauseous much of the time.

I would have some spells where I felt a bit shaky, but I dont think

that I had a day that I suddenly felt much weaker than before. Make

sure she is taking her vitamins and peeing at least 4 times a day.

Does she have any additional pain or discomfort, any sign of fever?

Im not a professional by any means, but at this point unless she is

so weak she can't get up at all I'd say keep an eye on her, lots of

rest and lots of fluids. Hang in there, the first week is the

worst. Once she turns that corner (so to speak) it gets better

everyday.

Luke/,

I seem to have a lot more energy. Especially now almost two weeks

out. But I do have to keep hydrated. I got a little light headed at

the YMCA last week and still sometimes get a little weak. What I've

been experiencing is getting really tired after eating a " full " meal

of a protein shake or a couple packs of the chicken soup. I'm going

to check with the PA this Thursday (first appointment too). I've

cheated and had some fat free cottage cheese and a slice of fat free

processed cheese. I'm basically sick of the PROTI shakes. Can't

she/you just call the PA or MMPC and get them to call you back with a

recommendation as to what to do? The nurses and stuff at MMPC have

been real good about getting back to me the same day as I call.

I do hope feels better. I slept a lot my first few days. Maybe

she just needs to sleep/rest more. I hate the phrase that everyone is

different but maybe she does just need to rest a little more.

In other news: I bought two flavors of ISOPUR from GNC today, Blue

Raspberry and Alpine Punch. Both are fantastic. However, GNC charged

$3.50 for each except there was some sort of " BOGO " discount that

brought them to $5.25 for the two of them. I'm pretty sure I can do

better than that online. 40g of Protein is crazy especially for that

great taste.

Hi Luke,

The weakness can be normal, everyone is different. What concerns me

more is that she is pale. If you can check her blood pressure,

pulse & temp at home, I would do so and call the dr and see what he

says.

Please keep us posted and I will continue to keep you both in my

prayers.

This is 's fiance Luke once again. , as you all know

came home last Saturday from having successful surgery. Everything

sipping as they say. The last couple days she has been weaker than

usual and today looks a little pale. She wants to know if weakness

is to be expected, or is it something she should be concerned with.

She is scheduled for her first follow up Dr.'s appt on February

7th. But her Doc is more than an hour away...so I may need to take

her to the ER if it's something unusual.

She says she's gonna rest today and see if she feels better. Any

advice from some of the veterans...or maybe if Shauna and Mike are

experiencing the same thing....advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I am so sorry I am behind on posts. How is feeling? Anyone heard? I did not

experience weekness. I am tired this week because of the move, but taking my

vitamins should help with that. I start 4 new vitamins this week.

Shauna

Best wishes !!

haha, well I had not choice. I do not know anyone really out here yet. Most of

the work was done by my sister and her friends, but I still had other stuff to

do. I'm good though. Getting back into the grove.
