I'm trying to drink my water like I should but I am still getting a little lightheaded. Is 24oz to little to have had by 3pm if I woke up at 8am?

I am having the same problem. I average about 48 oz. a day. I talked to my Dr. about it and he said that was acceptable.

Did he say what might be causing the lightheadedness?

If you aren't getting enough protein that will cause lightheadedness

Lightheadedness and fuzzy headedness are also signs of dehydration. In the early days I kept G2 or Smart Water around to replace the elctrolytes. It is super easy to get dehydrate and your protein counts towards your liquids!

My light headedness early on was due to lower blood pressure.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm on HBP medication and it may be the culprit. I'm going to take my BP asap!

I was wondering if protein shakes counted toward your liquid intake. If that's the case I'm not doing too bad. I usually have one 8oz. shake a day.

My doctor says they do but the nurses said no. I am convinced it does bc that's mostly what I try and get in everyday

My doctor and many others say it counts as well.

Any liquid you consume counts, including soup, protein shakes, Popsicles etc. Just try to do the best you can each and every day. Im 5 almost 6 weeks out and Im still only getting 48-52 oz. fluids. I still get a little light headed every now and then. It's not every days though. But, Im not steady in intake, I vary greatly each day. I just take it day by day though and do the best I can.

I am so ready for the puréed part of my diet. I'm almost a week post op but it's hard feeding my kids wonderful smelling food and I have to eat gagging broth. Trying to stagnating through the lightheadedness and the dizziness

Omg I feel the same way. My mom makes amazing food and it is killing me! I'm not starving but I look like a starving person when I watch them eat lol. What I've been doing (a little gross) is just chewing on a little peice of food to get the flavor then spit it out. It helps a little lol

Low BP could be causing it too. I was on HBP meds pre op and had to stop taking it because I was dizzy......
