I'm just over 2 weeks post surgery and for the last two days have been getting dizzy often. I'm totally hydrated and am still drinking Protein Shakes as well as some soft foods. Can't eat much at all maybe 2 ozs at a time

Is it just a lack of food or what?

You should get to your doctor and have them give you the once over just to be safe. Could just be side offects fro being a bit dehydrated which inst good in the first place... could be something more serious like your blood pressure dropping to a dangerously low level.

Go get checked out.

Yup - you could need a medicine overhaul - or be experiencing low blood sugar...too many reasons and dizziness is serious.

If nothing else you can fall and whack your knee or something - my hubby had an ear infection and knocked the crap out of his knee. Weeks later ear is fine but still going to the doc over his knee....

Ditto all the above! Best to take precautions and see your doc! We have major changes happening in our bodies as we're morphing to skinniness! :)

I would have to guess dehydration is the issue. I've been there and one that several times and dizziness is a primary symptom. You need to get with your doctor and he will get you infused with fluids if he feels it necessary. Don't delay - this can be a significant issue if left untreated. Best of luck!

      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.
