Hi all, developed a new symptom the last few days. I have started feeling light headed and a bit odd when standing up. Not sure if its a lack of calories or Protein etc. Roughly on about 60 g. Anyone else have this? Thanks Si

Have you been taking in enough fluids? I find that happens to me when I do not drink enough. It had gotten to the point one time I was going to go to the ER but after having some pedialyte and Powerade after a an hour or 2 I was feeling better.

If it continues to happen to you I would call your doc or goto the ER just to ensure it is nothing serious.

Hope you feel better!

Are you recently sleeved? Could be dehydration. I was sleeved on Monday and yesterday having the same issue. I got some. Gatrorade g2 down and that helped. I also realized that my pain killer as screwing with me. I was lortab elixir. I stopped taking it.

Don't know how far out you are but it could be dehydration. It could also be low blood pressure. Have you had yours checked? I know a lot of people go in for the sleeve on blood pressure meds and forget that they are taking them and then there blood pressure goes too low and the feel light headed.

I, too, was sleeved on Monday and started experiencing the lightheaded symptoms. I contacted my NUT and she said it was probably due to having low CARBS. She suggested drinking some milk. For the most part, the symptoms went away after a day or so. Just try to get in as much liquid and some milk and you should feel better soon. Good luck!

Thanks all, I am two months out on Tuesday, I think I am drinking plenty but as others have said since they struggle with Water, so I drink lots of tea to get fluids in. I will try to step it up a bit to see if it helps. I think it could be a lack of sugars that's making me feel this way, we'll see. Thanks again :)

This could also be from low blood pressure. Even before my surgery I had low blood pressure (and a very low pulse). So now that I've lost quite a bit, everything seems to have slowed down even more. I now just try to remember to stand up very slowly. :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
