Same here...blood work came back today...everything was perfect. They want me to eat more and not exercise as much. Not sure that is possible right now. Feel like that defeats the entire process...but we will see. I told them the dizziness is getting worse.

Same thing with me, blood work was perfect. The problem with my drs office is you dont see the surgeon you see nurse practioners and he has no clue whats going on. They told me to go see ENT

It sounds like it could be low blood sugar leading to the dizziness. I get this. See your doctor.

I would take to your PCP about this. I get dizzy when I need fluids. but if you really feel you are not dehydrated then I would consider looking into and about hypoglycemia.

Bloodwork may be perfect but unless they draw for electrolytes it won't show. Water won't keep those in balance after we have starved. So yes, sip a little gatorade if you are a little dehydrated. We need the salt. I felt this way a month or so out, and ended up getting a 7 up, another no-no. But I sipped ever so slow, and felt better in about an hour. We have cut so much it is your body's reaction to having nothing. So just be careful not to drink too much of it.

Also, if you are dizzy when you first stand up, it is your blood pressure that may be a bit low. Don't stand up quickly. Rather, sit on the edge of your bed or couch for a minute, and let your blood circulate. Then stand.

I was dizzy all the time, but I had Iron deficiency anemia. I am getting weekly iron infusions, and it's been helping. Good luck, I hope you figure it out.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
