AaronRene14 18 Posted November 16, 2012 I've been very light headed today, if I sit down for more then a few min, after getting up my ears get this weird sensation kinda like getting warm or it kinda feels like Fluid in my head is going from the very top to the rest of my head... (think surfacing in a pool), I am also temporarily sissy upon getting up. I've been good about liquids I feel like I'm very hydrated, forgot my Multivitamin but took it now, I haven't met my goal for Protein yet, and kinda have failed to meet it for a few days, I'm wondering if it can be that? (don't fall too short, but occasionally do fall a bit short) I'm not sure what it is or what it can be but I've been feeling it all day anyone have an idea? I did search but results weren't too good. 1 Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie713 423 Posted November 16, 2012 How far out are you from surgery? What stage of eating are you at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie713 423 Posted November 16, 2012 At first I wondered if it may be low blood pressure or something similar. You should be taking B12, Thiamine and your multi at this point, perhaps have some diluted gatorade to add electrolites and a little sugar to your system, your body has been through a lot and is still recovering. If you don't feel better get yourself checked out either in urgent care or a follow up with your surgeon or bariatric doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AaronRene14 18 Posted November 16, 2012 Will call tomorrow, should I be worried? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigmachik 403 Posted November 16, 2012 your sugar might be low. Try drinking a little diluted juice and see if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeauxForIt 659 Posted November 16, 2012 Do you take blood pressure medication? Ate you diabetic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristikay 60 Posted November 16, 2012 It really sounds like your blood pressure is to low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AaronRene14 18 Posted November 16, 2012 Not diabetic, and I have drank alteast 6oz of non diluted orange juice today, not sure if that'll help in either the B12 and/or low sugar department. Not sure if it's worth mentioning or just a coincidence but I'm starting to get very tired (normal sleep time is around 2 am) and kinda cold/chills they are tolerable tho, it's probly just cold in my place Also I do not take any kind of blood pressure med.

Tink22-sleeve 528 Posted November 16, 2012 Are you still taking pain meds? That could do it. Otherwise it sounds like dehydration- so call your doc in the AM. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AaronRene14 18 Posted November 16, 2012 No more pain meds, been off for like 3ish days (possible more, not likely any less) Also probly worth mentioning, Ive been very good with fluids, about 3 Water bottles today + juice + other misc liquids, so I should be past my 64 oz for the day. Ate a bit of Salk in the case that it could be bp, ima sip som juice in the case that it's sugar, just drank about 6 oz of water... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bubles089 35 Posted November 16, 2012 I get that all the time!! I am 10 weeks out, surgery was 8/28, it's really bad when I get home from the gym, to the point I get tunnel vision. Not every day is the same, some days I don't have it. My friend that is almost 3 yrs out said she had it for the first year. My Bp is fine sitting but I know it bottoms out when I stand up. I just have learned to know my body and that my work outs can't be as hard as I want them to be. All my blood work is totally normal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGamer 406 Posted November 16, 2012 Not a doc, but it sounds a lot like my blood pressure experiences. Are you running a fever at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AaronRene14 18 Posted November 16, 2012 Not a doc, but it sounds a lot like my blood pressure experiences. Are you running a fever at all?

I'm sorry that that happened to you for so long after, was it a priority with you and your doctor or did they just tell you that your okay and sweep it under the rug? Reason I ask is because this is a problem for me, and I cannot go back to work like this, things like this gets people hurt in my work, I got so much time off because I need to be back at 115% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
