Dizziness And Lightheadedness? Could This Have Anything To Do With My Sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

For the past 2 days i have been experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness.When i woke up this morning i almost fainted... Before i freak out and go pay $200 for a doctors visit i thought it might be wise to see if it could be related to my sleeve,

Im 6 months out and have been loosing steadily for the most part. I was naughty on monday and ate some junk food with my bestie (which is very rare) but today is friday...

maybe im low on something nutritional??

Id appreciate any advice or ideas!

Thanx

Shelly

Are you drinking your 64oz of Water a day. You may be dehydrated. Sip sip sip and make sure you're getting enough fluids. If your urine is dark that's probably it. Be careful and CALL the doctor. You don't have to pay for a call.

hey hun,

I have been dizzy for the last week on my pre op and my nurse informed me it is not enough carbs... apparently a fine line between low carb and too low carb...so two things she said to do..one: eat someone with sugar....and two: gaterade because your electro lights are down...

      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.
