Dizzy

[Cmullinvegas 39]

I'm 11 days post-op and went back to work today. I had two dizzy spells throughout the day. I'm getting in all my liquids and 50-70 grams of Protein a day but shooting for 90-100 per my nut. I'm getting in my Vitamins too, but had to switch some brands my nut gave me. Any one else dizzy? Any ideas why?

I had dizzy spells, it was low blood sugar cause I was consuming such a low amount of calories. I increased them some and voila! dizzy spells gone!

Oh yeah, I definitely had dizzy spells. Low calories and a lot less fluids than my system was used to? My body was not happy with me. I never go without a water bottle now. It does get better. I just had to make sure I was drinking my shakes closer together, and never, ever taking a multi without food. That caused the worst dizziness ever.

I read on here where someone's NUT said they needed a few more carbs and was told to eat some crackers. I tried that and it works like a charm! No more dizzy spells! I now have ritz crackers with my meat and cheese Snacks. Or Peanut Butter on crackers.
