Probably dehydrated... Do you get dizzy and lose a lil vision like you see a whole bunch of white flares?

If you're on BP meds, it may be that your BP is getting too low, your doc may need to adjust your dose.

I have this happen often. My bp stays around 90/50 which is hypotensive. It has been that way all my life but only since surgery to I get the dizzy spells from standing too quickly. I think its a combo of low bp and not drinking enough fluids.

Just saw my dr today and asked about signs of dehydration. #1 she said is feeling dizzy or lightheaded when you stand up. Drink more fluid!!

11 months out and it still happens. That reminds me I should probably go drink something.

5 months out and this still happens to me, and yes, it reminds me to drink :) Low BP related, which is somehow Fluid intake related as well.

Yup- its dehydration.

Its most noticible in the AM it also causes me slight nausea in the morning.

Dr. says drink a whole 12oz of liquid before bed and first thing in the AM and it should fix the issue.

      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.
