Weakness, lightheadedness



Recommended Posts

Banded on 11-09-06...When I wake up in the morning I feel very out of it...dizzy and lightheaded. It scares me to death and then I have to deal with the anxiety which I'm sure doesn't make things any better. I am drinking tons of Water and adding Protein Powder to everything. Everyone including my Dr. ( Ahmad, Port Jeff NY ) tells me my body is just adusting but it is so scary...any feedback?

Do you have a way to check your blood pressure, your blood sugar? My dropped dramatrically after just a few pounds and I had to cut way back on my meds.

Hope you get leveled out soon......

Ditto...I went to my PCP yesterday cause I was experiencing the same thing post -op ... I'm 12 days out. My blood pressure was significantly low so I have to go off bp medicine...you might want to check into your blood pressure. ... this is exactly what happened to me.

      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.
