Dizziness

[Believe123 11]

I got sleeved on June 9th. I was home for 2 weeks and this is my first week back at work. So far everything has been going well. I am trying to get all my fluids and Protein in and typically do. I was at work today and got really dizzy and almost fainted. Has this happened to anyone? Is it common? I know my body is still getting used to the cut in calories etc. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Whenever I experienced dizzines it was from dehydration. If you are on your feet a lot it could be from activity level vs calorie intake or too little fluids. If it happens again you might want to call your doctor's office and let them know. Good luck!

I had dizziness for a while, mainly when I bent over and stood up quickly. When my caloric intake was low i would get lightheaded a bit. Usually, eating some yogurt or downing a Protein drink and sitting down for 10-30 mins made it subside. It passes with your ability to take in more food. Hang tough!

Thank you! I had a Protein Drink and I am starting to feel a bit better

I had dizziness due to dehydration, but when it was really bad and sudden the way you are describing it was due to my blood pressure medication. About 3 weeks after surgery I was down almost 50 lbs(including 3 week pre-op diet...full liquid). Turns out my BP improved so much after that amount of weight loss, I needed to get the medication lowered. Saw the doc the next day and stopped one of the meds. no more dizziness.

I had same symptoms and didn't recognize low blood pressure and symptoms gone when I got off of my bp med. Pretty cool to start seeing my health being restored.

I have to take midorine in order to keep my bp up. It started dropping a few months after surgery and continued to get worse. I also think that I was so severely out of shape from being so overweight that I have a tremendous metabolic changeover to take place.
