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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
