Day 3 and I feel a little dizzy



Recommended Posts

Well, not really dizzy but almost like itsy bitsy black outs; does that make sense? Does or has any one else felt like this right after surgery? I had surgery on Monday.

I was feeling dizzy and spaced out after my surgery and my nutritionist said it could either be dehydration and suggested I drank more Water or, if you suffer from high blood pressure this is a normal reaction to the sudden weight loss. Whatever it was, it disappeared after 10days. If you're concerned speak to your doctor or nutritionist.

U hope you feel better soon.

Are you still on pain medication or nausea meds? Either of these can cause that fuzzy feeling. Also, if you are sitting more than usual, it could be hyper-static blood pressure. Try standing still for a few seconds when you get up to walk around and that may help.

Thank you! I just took my blood pressure and it is 130/89. Not good, not bad. Unfortunately the pain meds he gave me didn't work at all so I'm only on Advil. I do drink a lot of Water.... I was thinking that maybe I'm not getting what my body needs but I'm following the diet. Does anyone take Vitamins or did you this early on?

Thanks everyone!!

      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.
