It took me till between 4 and 5 months to get my strength fast. I got light headed too. My blood work was good and my nutrtition/fluid/vitamin intake was good too. I was exercising.

I think it just takes some people longer to bounce back after surgery. At 8 months, I am 100% and I really don't get dizzy anymore. I'm not sure when the occasional dizzy spell stopped and I can't remember the last time I was dizzy, so I would guess at least three months ago.

Hang in there - it's so worth it!

I had the same problem and talked to my NUT. She said my carb intake was too low for me and suggested I add more cooked veggies in my diet, even if it meant sacrificing protein intake. I did and about a week later ... YOWSERS! It worked. My energy was back. Give it a try, but know it does take a bit for your glycogen stores to refill and be available. Talk to your NUT and see what they say.

I had similair issues with not having energy and being light headed. i went to my pcp and my blood pressure was low becuase of the blood pressure medicine i was on. we stopped the blood pressure medicine and everything returned back to normal in a few days.
