Are you drinking all your Water? It will help. Otherwise, it tends to take time for that to pass, so try not to overexert yourself

I had surgery on the same day. I started drinking Powerade Zero and that stopped for me. Good luck.

I’m six days out and getting your liquids in can be a struggle. I would check with your dr just to make sure you are doing everything you can to feel better. They might have some helpful suggestions or options to help. I know my body is having trouble adjusting to the changes and it’s challenging. Best of luck to you!!!

Yep. What everyone said:

Hydration.

Electrolyte balance.

And if you're still taking any bp meds....

If you can't stop that shenanigans pretty quickly through hydrating, you need to call your doc and involve him. But you KNOW what you need to be doing. Right?

Had the same problem the other day. I was in the shower and everything went black. It was because I didn't have anything to drink yet that day. I had a Powerade zero and felt a lot better afterwords. Really push those fluids.

I had surgery 12/20 and my pressure has been on and off again low..my doctor already took me off of my blood pressure meds. I try to get my fluids in which is so hard. Set a timer for every 15mins..to take small sips..This is my favorite Protein Water cause I cant stomach the shakes yet.IMG674127517061181894.jpeg

I had dizziness for some days after surgery, but it passed - don't worry.

Once I got onto sloppy solids, it stopped altogether.

      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.
