I woke up at 4 this morning feeling dizzy and shaky, my moms a diabetic so I immediately thought my sugar had dropped. I woke up my husband because I felt like I was gonna pass out. He went with me to the kitchen and I ate half a banana and drank a high Protein Shake. The shakes ate still here but slowly getting better an I'm not AS dizzy. But I will say this lightheaded dizzy crap sucks! It scares me so bad. I just wanna feel normal. I was having bouts of lightheadedness and dizzy spells, feeling faint last week and my doc said I had been WAY over doing it and to just sit. ( I have a one year old it's hard ) but I did for a day or two and felt better. Now we're moving in a month and I believe I over did it today packing. Anyone else been in this boat? It sucks and I want it to go away. I see my doc on the 17th, hoping he will give me some advice.

Iron.. Huh? I may have them check that because its not low blood sugar, or blood pressure, or heart rate or dehydration... It's terrifying though. I hate feeling like this everyday. And today it was all day.

      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.
