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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
