I was like that and still am some days. My surgery was 11/14/12. Your body is healing so make sure your getting enough rest at night and my nutritionist said one nap a day ( if you can ) You had major surgery it will take awhile to get your energy back. Be patient you will adapt, the more food you introduce.

Are you eating enough??

Yes I have been eating enough I am eating 1000 - 1200 calories a day also taking in 130 - 150 proteins a day trying to drink 50 ml plus in water taking medicines on time.

Wow..your doing better then me! & u had no dizzy spells before surgery?

What is your Blood pressure? You mentioned medications. What are they. I'm thinking that direction.

No I didn't

What is your Blood pressure? You mentioned medications. What are they. I'm thinking that direction.

BP is 110 over 80 I am not taking any medications besides anti acid , Multivitamins , Iron , Vitamin b and Calcium

My daughter experienced similar symptoms when she tried the Atkins diet....she couldn't handle all the protein & low carbs. When she added some carbs she was fine. I don't know if that's what's happening with you, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

These are pretty benign meds, B/P good. Look at the sie effects of your antacid. But, I'm kinda stumped. Stay safe.

I would try either the carb thing try adding some good carbs, ie a slice if whole wheat bread. Unfortunately the very limited carbs does not work to well for anyone. Or could you possibly be dehydrated? Try upping your fluids, maybe that will help. Good luck to you and please keep us updated.

I have been drinking fluids got tested for dehydration and blood work came normal. I want to go back to work but my body is not allowing it

?

Vertigo?
