@@lovelytrl -Are you on blood pressure meds? If so, maybe you both are having low blood pressure- - sometimes you'll need less medication even after 5-10 lbs, can you check it at home? If not,then fluid seem the likely cause

@@Peekboo funny how doctors are different. My discharge instructions were to take my pressure every day, if 130 or less, don't take my meds. If 131 or higher, take it. Thankfully I did not have to take it yesterday & today

@@lovelytrl on the same note, like someone else mentioned, it could be your pressure. May want to discuss w/your doc.

Curious to see if I get dizzy spells too.

@@downsizingdebs just said a prayer for you! Keep us posted

Good Morning everyone, today I woke up not at my best. I felt dizzy every time I stood up. I'm 7 days post op have any of you experienced this? Maybe I'm not getting enough Fluid in? I did pretty good the day before yesterday but yesterday not so good.[/quote

I woke up feeling the same way today. I am 5 days post op.

My blood pressure has been running about 120/63 for the last week. Maybe I should see my doc sooner. I will ask the surgeon this afternoon at my appointment.

How can I get the weight loss ribbon, anyone!

I had to sign on on the computer and it was under profile.

Has anyone tried the New Whey Liquid Protien ? If so how did you do with it? I had my sleeve done on the 16th I have doing pretty good with everything thing until today. When I tried the liquid protein... It did not agree with me at all.

on the reviews on Amazon. Some said that it was a collagen protein and not whey and not helpful in maintaining you post surgery.

Athomas, ty

I just took my pressure it's 126/74 maybe I'm not getting in enough fluids. I just put a call into my doctors office I had to answer a boat load of questions and now I'm waiting on a return call after she speaks with my doctor. Hope everyone is having a great day.

@@Marielbx HI! I'm from NJ too and had my surgery on 10/13. Would love to stay in touch and support each other. How are you feeling?

@@athomas125 could be dehydration, lung capacity or blood pressure. I'm not having dizziness, but I do get out of breath very easily.
