Dizzy & Icky Feeling!

[MrsJB 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm two weeks post-op and I've been on soft foods for around 1 week, per my surgeon's approval. I eat exactly how I'm supposed to, portion and content-wise but just don't feel all that great. I've been a little queasy after some meals but nothing too terrible. I've been pretty light-headed today and I think that's what I'm most concerned about. Our a/c went out yesterday and it's been about 80 in the house. The new unit won't be finished until tomorrow. I'm sure that has something to do with it. But since the surgery I've just felt a little under the weather, queasy at times and light-headed or downright dizzy at others. I know it's only been 2 weeks and I've had a pretty major body overhaul but I just wanted to see if this is normal???? When will I start feeling like myself again? My pain is all but non-existent and I've lost almost 20 lbs but I haven't been on the treadmill since surgery bc honestly I feel so unsteady I'm scared to! I've been pushing Water more bc I think I've not been so great about that so I hope that'll bring about some change. Any thoughts?

Thank you! Mentally I feel pretty durn good, lol! But WOW, chasing a 5-year-old around who's about to be out of school for the year is HARD, not to mention being in school myself. All I want to do is lay down. And I had really gotten into working out pre-op so this sucks, not feeling safe even getting on a treadmill!

Just drink, drink, drink. I'm 9 weeks out and when I find myself getting queasy and light headed, it's usually because I haven't had enough to drink. Especially with it being so hot, make sure you have Water in your hand at all times!

Thank you! It's really comforting knowing it's not just me! I will be hitting that Water hard.
