Being Dizzy...is It Normal?

[sissy13 138]

I'm 2 weeks out today recently started getting dizzy spells. If I turn my head, when I get up, move to quickly, etc...anyone else have this problem? Know why or what causes it? Going to doc for my 2week check up tomorrow hope to get answers. On the up side I ATE food today went to taco bell with the family and ate half an order of pintos and cheese and it was yummy

I'm 3 months post and still get dizzy when getting up to fast. I have pinned down to my Fluid intake. I have to get more than the 64oz or I'm dizzy.

On another thread the same question was asked. Same advice I gave seemed to help her.

Idk if you take blood pressure meds? If so might need adjusted?

Good luck and congrats on your new tummy!!

Whewww... it was only beans! LOL I read "Taco Bell" and my eyes got as big as saucers thinking you were eating burritos and tacos. LOL Yes, refried Beans were a friend of mine 3 weeks post-op. Recently discovered they are high in carbs, so I cut back.

I had a lot of dizzy spells for the first few weeks. Pretty much every time I stood up I would get dizzy for a couple seconds. I don't know for sure the cause. I am sure it's just the body adjusting to the drastic changes in calorie and Fluid intake. I am nearly 8 weeks out now and i do not have those spells anymore. I guess it's been a couple weeks now since it stopped.

Thanks everyone for ur comments and help. I'm thinking it may be lack of water/fluid intake.

Could be dehydration or low blood pressure. My BP dropped quite a bit after surgery. Dangerous if driving or causes a fall. Call your doctor.

I'm sorry! I know it's tough to push those fluids. I use crystal light I cant drink plain water much. I have heard G2 is a great thing to drink too, cut it half and half with water. Hope it gets better soon

It may be low Iron. I get dizzy also and I have low iron. According to my pcp, that can be why.
