Day 1 on liquids and feeling so dizzy



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery day after tomorrow, and my doc didn't require a pre-op diet, but I figured I would do it on my own today and tomorrow, just to wrap my brain around it all. I'm doing only Protein shakes/drinks today, and I feel SO dizzy and just generally crappy. What am I doing wrong? Will I feel this bad after surgery until I can eat real food again? I'm second guessing my decision and it's only been like, 5 hours! Tell me I'm just being a dork...

Make sure you are drinking high Protein low carb shakes and that you are taking in enough. Make sure that you are drinking enough Water too.

Yes they are 15 grams of carbs and no carbs. Definitely not drinking enough water!

I've been dizzy off and on. On my pre-surgery diet I can have unlimited salad veggies and 4 oz of Protein per day. When I was dizzy, I either needed to eat or I needed Water.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
