In my third month of Hair loss and ready for that to be over!!!

Today is my six month anniversary --

I have the same problem...I am only 19 days out...lost 12kg ( 26-27 pounds). I was 2 weeks on Clear liquids and since Tuesday on puree until the 31st. I just feel I need to eat better.

I've heard of this issue many times, Most people go into their dr/nut and find out they are not getting in enough liquid and the black outs are essentially from being dehydrated.

I don't know if this is related to bariatric issues or not, but I had this problem. The doctor said it was "postural hypotension." My blood pressure dropped if I got up suddenly. He told me to get up more slowly.

I've experienced this. Usually if I bend over and haven't had enough liquids. I don't think, actually I'm pretty sure I'm not getting enough liquids. It's my goal to do a better job with that starting today. And I find if I start the day with Protein I'm better off. I'm not at the stage where I need to get 60 or 70 oz. Yet but even just the first ten oz being Protein helps me a lot.

I get dizzy and almost faint everytime I bend over , run upstairs , get up to fast. I'm always dehydrated plus anemic. I can never manage more then 50oz of Fluid a day no matter how hard I try

I'm dealing with the same issues. It's called orthostatic hypotension which is also known as postural hypotension. If you have a BP monitor take your blood pressure upon rising to be sure or simply call your doc. Just be careful when getting up and make sure there is something nearby to lean on so you don't fall.

It is orthostatic hypotension and under your circumstances is probably related to dehydration. The easiest way for you to tell at home (without the use of a BP reading) is to check your pulse lying, sitting, then standing. If your heart rate jumps significantly (like a 30 beat difference between sitting and simply standing up), you're probably dehydrated. Push fluids with electrolytes in them.
