Hey everyone! I'm 6 days post op, and starting to feel human again. My incision sites are pain free, port site Minimal pain, minimal nausea, and not very hungry. I am however feeling very dizzy, the worst is if I have been laying down on couch and get up to walk around. Any body else have this dizziness? Any thing I should be doing to prevent or minimize it? Thanks in advance Kat

Hi guys I'm Kat, and I was banded on 10/17 in Houston. I've been a member of this forum for about 6months, but only started posting recently. I love all the inspiration and help I get here! These are my stats so far: I'm 27yrs old, 5ft 6 with a pre surgery weight of 229. I lost 11lbs during my pre-op diet, and as of today am at 201.4! So excited to share my journey with everyone

The preop diet isn't any fun, but not hard. It's truly what you make of it. I think the preop diet does a great job setting you up for what life with the band will be like in the beginning. By the time it's all over I will have been on a liquid diet for 5 weeks.

Any One Else Feel Dizzy?

No history of hypertension or diabetes. I do take a few medications though... May need to call my dr. Thanks -
Ok so I'm 4 days post-op (banded 10/17), and following everything religiously. The one thing that is bugging me is that I am not allowed milk of any kind according to my Dr.'s post-op instructions. Any idea the reasoning behind this? I get the whole sugar free thing, but not this... Thanks! Kat

4 Days Post Op Why No Dairy?

I have one week of clears, 1 week of thicker liquids, one week puréed/ mushy, and by week 4 normal food again -

4 Days Post Op Why No Dairy?

Yes, still on clears. But my surgeon took away dairy until week 4 postop. I'm guessing its because of fat and calories, I just wanted other opinions as to why.
