I had my sleeve 12-jun-13. I have only lost 40 lbs. because I have not been able to exercise. I was so dehydrated, I was having dizziness,low b/p and fell-getting staples in my head after passing out and falling on the tile flood. .My cardiologist changed my meds a few times times over the phone-no results. Went to an appointment, found out I was dehydrated. Dr. Advised me to drink coconut water, within 3 days I felt better than I have in a month. If you are dehydrated coconut water is the best better than Gatorade, only draw back it is quite pricey.

What I have been doing is mix coconut water with regular water and a little of cran-cherry juice on ice.

I find my self eating cream of wheat, cottage cheese, smoothies, pudding and Jello. MY surgery was a month ago .

Has any one experienced light headedness, dizziness and feeling of head spinning. Went to ER due to passing out. My lab test, chest x-ray and cat scan were all within normal limits. I did have urinary track infection, and laceration to lip and back of head. I always am dizzy

I'm keeping hydrated but my blood pressure keeps fluctuating.

Just got home after being in ER. I passed out at home,and fell on tile flooring,got lip and head lacerations. My diagnosis was dehydration, low blood sugar and urinary track infection.. I am so light headed i can't move my head fast. I do start on pureed diet at noon tomorrow.

They did give an IV and when released I was told to drink water but with my sleeve its more difficult to drink the amount I had been before surgery.

How many weeks was it after surgery? That would be horrible to experience what you did.

They told me to drink cranberry juice and since my blood pressure fluctuated the doctor told me to slowly sit up or stand up. Today I am on my third week and suppose to be starting my purée diet but I'll be delayed due to my injury.

3 weeks post op... Anybody use the magic bullet to purée???

3 weeks post op.. What blender have you found to be the best?

What sort of protein supplements should I get? 11 days post op

Thanks!

What brand protein and soup? What favors?

I am experiencing dizziness and headaches. I always have to rise slowly in order to prevent dizziness. 8 days post op

7 days post op seems i can not walk half of what I did. I get weak and my upper body feels like it is top heavy

Did you have a problem getting enough protein and exercise?

Anyone else having bathroom issues? Having uncomfortable new experiences.

Had surgery 5 days ago... I'm I suppose to be feeling hungry? Is it normal to still have pain on the incision site? What's the best protein source?

It maybe just old habits of just wanting to eat. My large incision is the one that is very uncomfortable. Have your bathroom habits changed? I've experiencing new experiences in that area.
