I everyone, I am wondering if anyone else has had a day of " dizziness" I feel very light headed and dizzy. I am 11 days post op. I also had huge hernias repaired and am still taking pain meds, but only once a day. I am having a hard time getting my required Protein in and required Water too, but not doing too bad. Today I did nothing different (food/water wise ) than other days but this light headedness is a little worrisome. Any sympathizers or ideas ???

I really feel the same and I have almost 4 months of my surgery but I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow I'll let you know what the doctor tells me. Good luck

Thank you ! I will be anxious to hear!!! Good luck at the doctor's !

I've been super dizzy everyday. I'm 20 days post op. Mine is bc my BP being so low. I was taken off my meds. Drinking more water and g2 Gatorade is helping as well.

I became dehydrated that way. I did much better with diluted apple juice. Also, I had to drink the water very very cold.

I agree that it sounds like dehydration which can cause low blood pressure.

What kind of. Gatorate are you drinking???

I drink the g2 Gatorade only 7grams of sugar for 12 oz. My Dr told me to drink it.

I had bouts of dizzyness for about 6 weeks. Once my protein was increased at that point to 80g/day it went away. Has not been a problem since.

I hav been dizzy too. My bp was low. Dr took me off meds but still dizzy. I just get up slow. Trying to increase protein but it is very hard. Shakes r horrible. I'm trying.almost 2 wks out
