Anyone ever passed out?



Recommended Posts

About a week after surgery in the middle of the night I got dizzy and sweaty and almost passed out I sat down and drank Water because I knew I hadn't had enough water that day.. I felt better after drinking water so I brushed it off. Today im 2 months post and I went to have FASTING blood work done I'm sitting there in the room they put u n waiting on the nurse and I got that same feeling only this time I wake up laying down with 3 ppl standing around me asking if I'm ok. The dr said it was most likely cause I didn't eat which seemed pretty obvious I ate and felt better so I'm pretty sure I know why it happened but what I'm getting at here is has this ever happened to any of u and did anything more serious come of it??

Up your cals and stay hydrated. Not being properly hydrated makes you feel dizzy

I have had several trips to the ER before the surgery due to nothing more than dehydration. My blood pressure got very low and I almost passed out. Hydration is VERY important.

      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.
