Very light headed and dizzy

[ohh_mandyy 211]

I have been extremely dizzy and light headed lately. I have to catch myself sometimes at work if I turn around or get up too quickly. I'm 11 months post op and down 108 pounds. I'm trying to lose another 15-20. I eat about 600 calories a day give or take a little. I've tried to increase my calories but I have a really hard time mentally. Any suggestions on how to rid of this dizziness?

May want to check with your surgeon. Just a thought though, are you getting enough Water?

Call dr. Dont play around with ur health

I get about 70 ounces of Water in a day. I just don't have the desire to eat much because the only way I lose weight is by having very low calories. I can easily maintain with a little higher caloric intake and exercise but I'd still like to lose some. Not sure if maybe I'm lacking certain Vitamins that may be making me so dizzy.

Drink more Water. That's a symptom of dehydration. That's one of my ques that I need to up my fluids.

I would say your eating too few calories. Have you tried adding in some healthy fats? Full fat cheeses/yogurts, nuts, avocados..etc.

Keeping your intake at such a low level for that long can really mess up your metabolism.

Does your dr/nut know you're at such few calories like that on a regular basis?

Google postural hypotension. I went through a few months when every time I stood too quickly I almost went headfirst into the wall (much to my husband's amusement!)
