Maybe lack of Protein or dehydration- I know when I am not drinking enough I get dizzy. I even passed out once

Could also be low blood sugar. I got dizzy too post-surgery until I learnt to eat the right foods at the right times to prevent it. But best you speak to your dr.

1ST thing i thought was low blood sugar i got my dads tester out and i was 102 so i was good. I feel good today. I drank more Water. Took some pain meds to sleep and now i feel fine. I also had what people call sliming where my mouth over waters... i have had that twice now after my surgery last friday. Its weird and I am not taking any pills or eating a solids and really wasn't drinking enough so maybe it was my swollen tummy. all is well for now! I feel great today *knock on wood*

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
