Dizziness

[JamesGz 112]

Hello...

I had my Surgery January 14 2013 I was 487lbs

I am currently 358lbs ( 129lbs lost : )

Almost 6 months post op

Ok so I have noticed in the past month or so I have been getting dizzy or light headed when I get up from sitting ( very often) or sometimes just random times

My Protein Intake is anywhere from 70-130 grams per day

My calories intake is anywhere from 900-1300 per day

I am getting around 7-12 cups of Water per day

I am eating low carbs and low fat

NO JUNK food !

(Very Healthy eating)

I am taking all my Vitamins and Calcium citrate and Vitamin D and B12 Daily ...

So is anyone having this issue as well?

And if so any advice or answer to why???

I don't have advice, I deal with that stuff now.. I think it is a change in blood pressure? Do you have a BP cuff at home? Can you get it checked? I really just want to say AWESOME JOB and how exciting!!!!!

Low blood sugar? Or. Stand up for few seconds and then look straight up quickly, any dizziness? If so could be an inner ear thing. Hope you feel better soon. :-)

Also noticed with my inner ear laying down flat on back could be dizzing too, almost makes you feel drunk

I am getting this too now, I am 5 weeks out and my surgeon gave me permission to eat solid food. I feel exhausted in the day and when I stand up I get dizzy. I have a little pain in my left arm/shoulder like I pulled a muscle. Trying to figure out what it is...low blood sugar, leak, ketosis, or postural hypo-tension. I sent my doctor an email but after 5 on a friday I don't have much hope of getting an answer right away. If it gets worse I will go to urgent care.

Follow up:

The surgeon's office told me if I had a leak I would be in a lot of pain and in the ER room...so I will rule that one out.

They think I got too much sugar or something like that..

Sounds like a drop in blood pressure. You may need to go to Dr had lower you BP meds. Which is a great thing
