Yes, I believe so. I still get light-headed at nearly 4 months out. I think it has to do with Water consumption....? Or not enough calories? Not completely sure, but I have seen lots of posts about this. Keep on sipping!

Thank you so much! I go to the dr on Thursday, so I will bring it up to him as well!

Yes, it's normal, so be careful...

your calories are minimal, you just had SURGERY, and you need to watch your Water intake... always talk to your doctor about your concerns as well...

Congrats and welcome!

get them to check your blood pressure too although that may have to do with dehydration

      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.
