I am 3 months post op as well and have bad dizzy spells and lightheaded. I went to the doc and he did blood work and all he could find was I had low potassium as well.

I'm 8 months post-op and get bouts of dizziness and nasty headaches. I think the headaches are just from the hormones out of whack. When we burn fat, it releases estrogen. My doc says this can cause headaches.

I noticed my dizziness decreased when I avoided sugars a little more than normal. Not sure if that'll help you but it may be worth a try :)

Oops, forgot to mention that I added a little more Water to my day, along with reducing the sugar.

Losing weight can also cause your blood pressure to go down. That causes dizziness too.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
