Light headed feeling

[MekaJ 0]

I had my surgery on April 5 and after two weeks I started to get awfully dizzy with a lighted feeling. Of course my doctor says incease my liquids and I have but it still seems to be there. Does anyone know how long this will last. I am so ready to feel normal again. Also, what foods seems to work well at this point. I am scared to try any meat but vegetables seem to go down well.

I know your doctor already told you this but if you are dehydrated you can be light-headed. You may also need to look at how much Protein and calories you are getting each day as your body needs the calories for energy. I know I am struggling to get my calories in each day so you might try calculating that if you haven't already. I know that you should NOT be dizzy and/or lightheaded so good luck with this.

I was sleeved April 4th and I tell you until about the 3rd week when I was getting in more purred food and taking Vitamins did I feel better. When I was on

liquids I was just so tired and weak.... Eating some food helped me feel alot better... The liquids was hard for me..

I was sleeved April 4th. I was also feeling dizzy a couple of weeks out. I was getting in my Protein and Water but not any electrolytes. I started drinking Gatorade G2 (it's low sugar) and added some salt to my Soups. I felt immediately better and haven't been dizzy since. I'm also recently very concious of getting in enough potassium, Lite Minute Maid OJ with Calcium is a good choice, also low in sugar.

Happened to me about 4 weeks out...right as I was returning to work (of course). Always happened in the morning after sleeping all night with no fluids. I now drink a glass of diet gatorade (called G2) and it really helps. I still occasionally get this feeling and it's my sign that I am not drinking enough. Happens mostly if I bend down then stand back up. Hope this helps! Liquids are so important!!!!
