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!

      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.
