An 2 weeks out and find I get dizzy with exertion. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time as the sleeve. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Not sure if it is dehydration ( it's hard to get all the Water in) or lack of calories ( I get about 600 a day)

Can I ask you a question? Did you have to go on liquid diet first?

I'm betting on dehydration. Especially if your dizziness occurs when you first stand up.

I was dizzy and such for a while and now it is slight. I had a B1 defeniciency. They had me do blood work before my second visit. I still having issues but it is better. I havr not been able to start exercising because of this. The other day I fell as a result. Now all I want to do is sleep. I am tired all the time.

I had dizziness and lightheadedness also. I lost about 50 lbs 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after the surgery. My surgeon said it was almost certainly due to low blood pressure (it was low when I went in for my post surgery follow up). He sent me to my doc the next day and I had my BP medication reduced and I haven't had any dizziness since.

Get some G2 and mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with Water and sip it until it is gone...If you start to feel better you were dehydrated..And it would be good if you did this on a daily basis to keep your electrolytes up. i am 14 months out and still drink G2 every day for this reason....K

I was dizzy for several weeks after the surgery..but it subsided as time went on. We had major surgery and our bodies need to heel . Check your blood pressure several times during the day. I usually got dizzy when I rose from a laying position. Also, I could hardly drink Water for weeks after the surgery. That was also a factor,

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
