I have felt several times today a little faint. I am not sure what is going on. I am 3 weeks post op. I have had some diarrhea and cannot seem to stomach but about 40 ounces of fluid a day. I feel ok other than some left side pain. Anybody else experience this?

I still experience lightheadedness when I stand up too fast but not all the time. You should be getting ready to go soon for your one month post op labs and visit so they will check all your levels then. Try drinking some more if you can... 64 oz is the magic number.

Drink more! You sound dehydrated, also when going from laying to sitting or standing do it very slowly. If you have a way to check your blood pressure I would do that.

It's a sign of dehydration I went threw that. Don't forget to take vitamin daily.

I agree. I was dehydrated and felt like that. It gets easier to get fluid down.

Check your blood sugar I'm having a hard time with mine bottoming out with that feeling

just left my surgeons office. Blood sugar is great but I am dehydrated. They are sending me to the ER to get some fluids. UGHH! I hope it makes me feel better. Thanks to everyone for the advice and continued support. I really appreciate it.

I was having bad dizzy spells although doing great on my liquids during my 2nd week PO. I went to my primary care doctor and my blood pressure was only like 90/60. So within 16 days of surgery, I had to go off my blood pressure medicine. I knew I would go off of them but was surprised it was so fast.
