Headaches & Dizziness



Recommended Posts

Ok this past month I started with dizziness when i stand. Recently I had to go to the hospital because I had a severe head ache on my left side. I fell to the floor and next thing i know I'm bleeding profusely. I don't recall hitting my head, but the Dr. At the emergency seemed to have thought I blacked out and hit my head on something, which caused a concusion. A CT scan was done and everything seemed normal. My headaches got better with time.

However, yesterday I began with the headaches again. And today the dizziness started. I feel like all the blood rushes to my head, and I'm not fully conscience for a few seconds. I have to sit down until that feeling goes away. But it seems to be only when I stand up.

My Dr. Has ordered blood work and all the results come back normal. I don't know what's going on.

And yeah Protein was normal the last time they checked. I'm thinking maybe my bloodpressure is low? Idk.

Do you take BP meds? I know I do and have to watch it because I've had that issue before when I didn't need the meds anymore and was taking them. I know have a wrist BP machine to monitor it.

      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.
