I feel like I am getting worse, I was banded on thurs and felt sore, now I am having trouble getting things down and I feel very lightheaded. Did anyone else feel dizzy?

If you're not getting in enough calories, protein, and staying hydrated, you need to call your surgeon. Try sipping constantly throughout the day rather than sticking to a meal time. I hope you feel better soon but give the surgeon a call.

Hey laurie, part of the diziness could be because you're dropping weight so fast. I don't know if you've gotten on the scale, but in the past, when I've been on a high protein diet, I tend to get very tired and lightheaded. But, check with with your doc about that and not being able to get food down.

It could also be your blood-sugar dropping....that can make you lightheaded...

I was banded Wednesday. I had really bad dizziness over the weekend (when I didn't have much Thur or Friday)... Today I feel better.. but still get a little dizzy after standing for too long. I'm pretty sure I'm dehydrated. Tonight I'm Freezing a few spring water bottles... I'll drink them as they defrost, hopefully that will keep me hydrated.

It will get better :-)

Thanks! It helps knowing that other people are having the same stuff happen to them. I feel like such a baby because I'v been complaining all day. O know that I am dehydrated because I can't drink anything without feelong like I am going to throw up.

Try drinking something hot or warm. Bigelow makes a decaf French vanilla tea.. It's very yummy!!! Best wishes.

PS- Or try drinking something very cold. Freeze a bottle of Water, or crystal light... honestly, even a hawaiin punch or something.. drink it as it defrosts.

Try some sugar free popsicles or ice pops. They were a life saver for me when I had trouble keeping anything down. Also besides being dehydrated or low blood sugar, you could have low potassium. Is it also possible you were around someone with the stomach flu? If you arent feeling better I would see your surgeon ASAP. Better safe than sorry. Best of luck!

You are not getting enough of prob everything. (drink more water, eat small snacks - yoour bady takes time to adjust - i still get dizzy at times if I get hungry and don't get something to eat soon - i have learned to keep a snack handy in case I feel light headed or dizzy).

I had the dizziness as well, I found that once I increased calories by starting on full fluids, I was fine. Just don't get up too quickly!

Feel better soon.

Are you drinking protein drinks? If so, then make sure you are also getting enough water in.
