total colectomy with IRT - energy level issues now

Posted by aileenredding @aileenredding, 5 days ago

I had this surgery almost 2 years ago. I can't predict how an activity is going to affect my day-to-day energy. I went for a drive and walk on a sunny cool day. Maybe I got dehydrated. a little. I got home, felt nauseous, took ondansetron, more than a little water, some food and was exhausted the rest of the day. Watched tv.

Prior to my surgery I had lots of energy. Thanks for your replies

I use Kinderlite for hydration.. it does not have sucralose.. Pediatite and Gatorade have sucralose..and many other things have "hidden" sucralose..it is a good gut bacteria killer..I drink 2 vanilla plant based Ensures a day for energy..and it has raised my vitanin D to a normal level (regular Ensure has sucralose too) Praying for you!! I know how it feels to b=never know how you will fell each day.. very frustrating.. and most people don't understand.. so grateful for this group!! I'll pray for you!!
