I was sleeved on Monday, the 10th and have developed something new today - lightheadedness. I'm not sure what is going on. I am not getting all my protein and water in, but I would say about half of each. I checked my bp and it is fine so I have no idea what is going on. I don't recall this being mentioned by the doc or NUT as a side-effect. Anyone else experience this?

I am pre-op but my nutritionist said my lightheadedness was due to a lack of carbs. Your best bet would be to call your nutritionist for some guidance. Good luck and congratulations on your surgery!

Adover: what did you nut recommend that you do? Up your carbs? Just curious. I get up in the am and am light headed also. Sometimes shakey too. I thought it was dehydration but I get in 65ozs a day.

LovieC: Congrats on your surgery. This is something that you might want to discuss with your surgeon and nut.
