I'm just over 2 weeks post surgery and for the last two days have been getting dizzy often. I'm totally hydrated and am still drinking Protein Shakes as well as some soft foods. Can't eat much at all maybe 2 ozs at a time

Is it just a lack of food or what?

You should get to your doctor and have them give you the once over just to be safe. Could just be side offects fro being a bit dehydrated which inst good in the first place... could be something more serious like your blood pressure dropping to a dangerously low level.

Go get checked out.

Yup - you could need a medicine overhaul - or be experiencing low blood sugar...too many reasons and dizziness is serious.

If nothing else you can fall and whack your knee or something - my hubby had an ear infection and knocked the crap out of his knee. Weeks later ear is fine but still going to the doc over his knee....

Ditto all the above! Best to take precautions and see your doc! We have major changes happening in our bodies as we're morphing to skinniness! :)

I would have to guess dehydration is the issue. I've been there and one that several times and dizziness is a primary symptom. You need to get with your doctor and he will get you infused with fluids if he feels it necessary. Don't delay - this can be a significant issue if left untreated. Best of luck!

      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.
