Lightheadedness = Unhappy Workout



Recommended Posts

so, i got banded at the end of may and started at the gym with cardio only the second week of june. i built up to working out with a trainer, but am struggling with getting lightheaded often when doing more than just cardio. the nutritionist put me back on the preop diet... so no substancial food intake. im getting my 60g of Protein but idk .. i feel like i dont have the energy to workout like i need or want to. suggestions??!!??

More Protein would be my suggestion. Why are you back on the pre-op diet and what is the diet?

Maybe your body has to get use to the diet. When my trainer works me really hard I get light headed some times. It gets better as I get stronger but eating before I see him really helps. Good Luck! :)

i wasnt losing i guess. and feeling like i as hungry .. so she told me to get bzck on the preop diet to help me withportion size again and what not.

our preop diet ... shake for brkfast ... 1 cup of Protein, veggies, fruit ... shake for dinner. basically my fat mind thinks im starving my banded body.

im supposed to have 1200 cal a day. with 160 cal Protein Shakes that leaves a nice amt for lunch but still. my energy is lacking

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
