Feeling dizzy and no energy

[zalina 31]

I am 3 weeks post-sleeve and on a purée stage.

Did not have any problem at all and had energy, but yesterday and today I feel very sluggish and lightheaded, sleepy. Not sure if I am getting enough calories or Protein. Trying to have Water, but do not have the full 48 ounces a day. Any suggestions on nutritions and schedule?

Are you taking your Vitamins especially B 12? Also, try Vitamin Water zero. That is the only sweet drink I can tolerate and actually finish a half bottle per day.

Yes, I am taking B-12, the pill has 2500 mg and also Multivitamins.

Thank you for suggestion on the Water. Did not try it yet.

And thank you!

I am the same.... 3 weeks post op and on the pureed stage.

I too, am very tired and have no energy. This has been going on for about 3 days. Ugh.

I am getting in all of my liquids plus some. Also taking my multi and Calcium 2 X a day.

I would suggest making sure you get at least the 64 oz of liquids so that you don't get dehydrated.... and that could make you dizzy too.

My energy is zapped and I can't put my finger on the cause.

Wish you the best.

I think that I do not drink enough, trying to get more Water today. Already had 32 ounces of Water. Are you taking Vitamins and B12?

I saw on this app that they have Vitamin Patches. I think it worth to try. Made an appt to t my nutritionist For Thursday. Will update after.

I had horrible fatigue for a good month before I started feeling normal again. Water and Protein are the most important things, work really hard to get those in. My Protein intake fell when I moved to purees because I was trying to eat more food and use less Protein shakes. Also, if you've started exercising, you may need more calories to support it.

Thank you. I hope this will go away fast. Good luck to all of us!
