Light Headed And Passing Out



Recommended Posts

Well, we had a Xmas potluck today at work and after eating I almost passed out!!!

Has this ever happened after eating junk?? I ate a very small portion of everything but it wasn't that bad.....a little here and there but after i was done i almost collapsed!

Ive been banded a year now and can notice when I dont eat on track my body gets mad at me!!!

Scarey!

Those all are signs of dehydration. Ensure that your Water intake is up. A lot of people, for some reason believe, that becasue it is winter time they do not need to drink as much water cause they are not sweating. So false. Need to increase your Fluid intake. Ensure that you are eating and getting the proper amount of Vitamins from your food or from supplements.< /p>

      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.
