Dizzy from lack of protein?



Recommended Posts

During the first few weeks after surgery I used to barely make it from the bedroom to the kitchen without having to sit down as I felt 'wonky'. I think it was my body going into some sort of protest stall lol Anyhow, I

decided to push my limits and walked a little further each day until I felt normal. I also got myself a personal trainer who got me using weights. That pushed my body into feasting on fat rather than than turning my energy off and stalling.

Hi there! I have not experienced symptoms of dizziness, but I know that it can happen because of blood pressure changes as well. If you are on blood pressure medication, you may need to work with your doctor to change the dose as you lose weight.

I have modified the topic of your thread to be a little more specific, so that people can find it using the search function if they have the same question. I hope the dizzies stop soon!

Thanks I have never taken blood pressure medicine before and I've been checking my blood pressure and everything seems to be okay,

I do take thyroid medicine my sister said it might be that I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow.

I got dizzy from dehydration. If you struggle to get your liquids in, that may be it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
