Anyone really lightheaded?



Recommended Posts

I am four weeks out and the last couple of days to a week whenever I stand up my vision wants to black out and I get really lightheaded. It really sucks cause I want to walk, but can't. Anyone else having this problem????

Yes I did for a long time. After switching to bariatric Vitamins and really really trying to get my Water in, it happens a lot less.

I am! I went to my two week post op visit today and my blood pressure was 94/62! The surgeon didn't seem too concerned,just said it would get better (the dizziness ) in two weeks when I start my Vitamins. I feel a tiny bit better when I get more Water in. Good luck to you!

Are you on any blood pressure meds b/c of your kidneys? You may not need it anymore, or need a lower dose. If you don't have a home BP monitor you can drop by your PCP's office and have it checked usually for nothing. The ones in stores tend to be inaccurate I was told.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
