Hello...

I had my Surgery January 14 2013 I was 487lbs

I am currently 358lbs ( 129lbs lost : )

Almost 6 months post op

Ok so I have noticed in the past month or so I have been getting dizzy or light headed when I get up from sitting ( very often) or sometimes just random times

My Protein Intake is anywhere from 70-130 grams per day

My calories intake is anywhere from 900-1300 per day

I am getting around 7-12 cups of Water per day

I am eating low carbs and low fat

NO JUNK food !

(Very Healthy eating)

I am taking all my Vitamins and Calcium citrate and Vitamin D and B12 Daily ...

So is anyone having this issue as well?

And if so any advice or answer to why???

I don't have advice, I deal with that stuff now.. I think it is a change in blood pressure? Do you have a BP cuff at home? Can you get it checked? I really just want to say AWESOME JOB and how exciting!!!!!

Low blood sugar? Or. Stand up for few seconds and then look straight up quickly, any dizziness? If so could be an inner ear thing. Hope you feel better soon. :-)

I am getting this too now, I am 5 weeks out and my surgeon gave me permission to eat solid food. I feel exhausted in the day and when I stand up I get dizzy. I have a little pain in my left arm/shoulder like I pulled a muscle. Trying to figure out what it is...low blood sugar, leak, ketosis, or postural hypo-tension. I sent my doctor an email but after 5 on a friday I don't have much hope of getting an answer right away. If it gets worse I will go to urgent care.

Follow up:

The surgeon's office told me if I had a leak I would be in a lot of pain and in the ER room...so I will rule that one out. :)

They think I got too much sugar or something like that..

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
