rapid weight loss and effect on memory and energy
For those of you who have been sleeved,
Have you noticed a decrease in energy after the initial healing period of say 2 weeks post surgery?
Did you feel any difference in your ability to concentrate? remember things? etc.
How long were you off of work after your surgery? Could I go back to work 1 week post surgery?
Just trying to get this figured out.
I can't say my short term memory was impacted, I'm not more forgetful or absentminded than usual, I think 1 week is pushing it but we're all different. By the end of week 3 I was handling full days in stride...
Sorry, can't comment on hair (I shave my head...by choice for now) but I did notice I could go an extra day between shaves for a few months lol.
As for memory loss, I starting having issues with memory and focus in the months leading up until surgery. I assumed I was distracted. But it didn't really get better post-op. I eventually read something that made me realize I had stopped doing a lot of things that help with memory (like writing lists) and had lots a lot of good habits that way. Now that I am doing those things again, my memory is much better.
However, malnutrition can impact your memory so be aware of that. You don't want permanent brain damage due to malnutrition!
