Tired, Dizzy? anyone else?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 2/9/10. Lately i am really really tired, and i get bouts of dizzy spells. I dont know if this is from lack of nutrients? or if it cause i dont get enough to drink?? am i alone?? any input would be great.

I got my first fill today. 4.5cc in my 14cc band. that went uneventful, although im on Clear Liquids today and starving lol!!!

Are you on blood pressure meds. You should check that out if you are.

Have you had enough Protein or any Protein? I know when I was on liquids I was constantly dizzy and had to move to pureed faster than scheduled because I wasn't getting protien.

I agree with the BP post also. There are a number of things that can make you dizzy that aren't related to the band.

Nope not on any blood pressure meds! Always had low blood pressure, or good blood pressure. This makes me nervous at times and then i will feel great the next day! I was wondering if i was not eating enuff. i eat the Protein first and usually that all i manage to eat.

I'm a week and two days out and I find I'm dizzy in the morning following my AM Protein shake(I'm at the Puree Stage). I'm also not hungry and am having to force myself to eat plus I am freezing cold and can't get warm...probably because I'm not eating. Today I managed a cup of coffee, a Protein Shake, 24oz of Water, 1/4c potato Soup blenderized with 3oz of ham and a 1/4c blenderized veggies. I see it's 8:30pm EST so I guess I better eat something. Weird going from a total FOODIE to not even caring.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
