Always dizzy, always feeling like crap.

[niceross 11]

I am 25 days lost op. I was 252 at surgery and have already lost 30lbs. I had a painful recovery for 2 weeks post op, but now I am pain free and my incisions are practically invisible. However, in the last 2 weeks, I have been very lightheaded, nauseous for 8-10hrs of the day. My blood pressure is normal and holding steady. I drink 80 grams of Protein per day (per NUT rec) and I drink anywhere from 60-80oz of fluids per day, it varies. Take all my Vitamins. I am on mushies but I can’t eat more than a tbsp of anything at a time, and I vomit at least once a day despite taking 45 min to eating so slowly it’s not even worth eating sometimes.

Does anyone else experience this extreme exhaustion, nausea and dizziness? Could I just be mildly dehydrated from vomiting every day? Losing weight too quickly? Not enough calories? On the outside I look healthy and vibrant, on the inside I feel like crap. I hope this goes away soon.

Not enough calories. Talk to doc and nutritionist. Wishing you the best.

Everyone's different, of course....but at 25 days I was eating 1000 calories a day and walking 8 miles per day and feeling great. You might be just fine and on a perfect track for you....but just to be safe, let the doc know how difficult eating is.

Low electrolytes can also cause a lot of this, my dr had me double my intake of electrolytes due to some nausea and dizziness and it seems to have helped.

Yep I had the same thing happen to me. My doc had me drink full sugar Gatorade and restaurant wonton broth. I felt 100% better after that!
