Has Anyone Gotten Light Headed



Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced any dizzyness or light headed my doctor says it may be from dehydration. I think I'm getting enough Protein in (I think). I haven't seen a post about this yet (I think) I'm a man it could be right in front of me and I would miss it. Maybe I should ask my wife (lol)

And one more thing does anyone get achy at night kind of like your arms and legs are tired

Hey Paul...you're not crazy. I've been getting the dizzy/off balance feeling. Not constant but definitely something I never had. I attributed mine to needing more fuel in my body.

As for the aches...yes have those too. Almost feels like I have that restless leg syndrome.

Unfortunately, any Protein I eat/drink does not stay down so I am having trouble getting any protein.

I get light headed everytime I stand up quick or bend over, or getting up out of bed. went to the dr. and found out my blood pressure was dropping to low. So I was instructed to intake all my fluids, and add a little salt in my diet to elevate pressure. So far it doesnt happen nearly as much, since I started what they told me.

i got this light headed and disiness for allmost 7 weeks after surgery. it is a normal step. when i started to drink more it became better. what help me more is mixing my Water with electrolyte powder i buy at the pharmacy. i am on my 8 week and still get a bit of disiness when i over exercise at the gym. i recommend taking it easy and drink the water with electrolytes.

      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.
