My surgery is next Tuesday, I started my liquid diet this past Tuesday. On Wednesday, while walking around Walmart, I suddenly felt VERY faint -- I thought I was going to pass out right on the floor - my heart was racing too. My friend was with me and we sat on a bench. I drank a Protein shake off the shelf, a bottle of Water and 1/2 a gatorade and it took me an hour before I felt good enough to walk to the car. Yesterday I felt fine, then today I had a shake for Breakfast and started feeling faint as soon as I got to work. I drank another shake, some gatorade and OJ (per my docs office) before I was able to have my vitals tested: BP was elevated 170/74, but came down as I was laying there, and Blood sugar was 147 ( I am not diabetic, but I just drank ALL that). Still feeling faint. Did anyone else have this problem?? My docs off cant image what it is since my vitals are "fine". Im worried about after the surgery... if Im not getting enough - am I gonna pass out. I dont have a history of anything like this.
