beachplum 133 Posted June 23, 2014 I had my surgery May 14, 2014. Lately I feel as though I am fitting in less food than I was before, and my desire to eat is even less. Two weeks ago I feel as though my desire was greater as well as my intake. Lately I feel like I'm eating less and I'm wanting it even less. I wouldn't be too concerned with it except I feel dizzy from time to time and I'm thinking it could be low blood sugar? Has anyone else had this happen?

gomekast 559 Posted June 23, 2014 Your intake will always vary based on stress, activity level and other things. Just do the best you can. Yesterday it was super humid and hot where I am..and we were moving some stuff out of storage to bring back home. Well, I tried to drink my propel zero abd it just wasn't happening. So I tried to just sip sip sip when I was able too. I'm 8 months and it varies even now. But I sort of know when it will change now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
par1959 470 Posted June 23, 2014 I am going on week 4 post op and experienceing the same issues. Over the week end it felt like I was going into a full fledged anxiety attack. Turned out is was low blood sugar. A few sips of apple juice fixed it. No hunger also went along with the symtoms. Since this low blood pressure episode my hunger has decreased. I am currenty adding more fruit to my diet. This Thursday is my 1 month check up and I have scheduled some time with the NUT. Hopefully, she will be able to enlighted me and prevent dizzyness and low sugar levels.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devint 162 Posted June 23, 2014 I just had surgery on May 30th, and had some problems with my blood pressure running a little low before, but now that I'm post-op about 3 weeks I have had a LOT of lightheadedness and dizziness from "postural hypotension" basically my blood pressure drops crazy fast when i stand up from a squat or sitting position after being still a while. Because your dizziness could be caused by a couple different things, I would recommend talking to your doctor about it to pinpoint the cause and hence the cure. Also, I've found that as I'm ramping up the density of the food i'm eating, my hunger is going away. But i've set a schedule for myself including timers on my phone (odd i know but it works!) and I eat/consume Water and mush/food when it tells me too regardless of how I feel. Good luck to you!
