Going on to 4 weeks on Tuesday. But lately I've been getting dizzy. Is that normal? If any one can answer this ? It would be helpful.

I'm also about 4 wks out. I saw my doc last week and told him I'm often dizzy and get light headed when I stand up, he said it was likely from too little Water and/or too little Protein.

@@sunflowerchild is right. I went through this with chemo and now. It has gotten better with more fluids. I thought I was getting enough by my body needed more. I wish it could just send me a text instead of making me dizzy. LOL

I am 3.5 months out and still get dizzy often when I stand up. I get 60-70 grams of Protein a day and even days when I get all my Water in it still happens. I wonder if it's just because I don't eat very much.

Yea I do feel that I don't get enough Water I try. But it's very hard. So sunflower what stage of eating are you on. Some suggestions cause I'm kind of bored what I'm eating.

I'm cleared for normal eating now so I don't know how much I can sympathize with the food thing. Have you tried the ricotta bake? That was one of the best things I had on my previous stage. I also really enjoyed turkey pepperoni baked with mozzarella cheese (obviously make sure you chew very very well). I also found some really great recipes online that you can make with Greek yogurt.

Jesswls, you are absolutely right!!! More than likely, the dizziness is due to low blood sugar from not getting adequate calories/nutrition.

Jessicavtec1, I hope your dizziness clears up soon. I know what that feeling is like, and it's not exactly fun :(

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
