Since surgery 3 weeks ago, I've noticed I've get super dizzy any time I get out of bed super fast. Or if I bend down to pick something and then stand up. It's annoying.

Anyone else???

Could be low blood sugar. Are you getting in fluids and proteins?

Sounds like you have some orthostatic hypotension going on (blood pressure drops out when you stand up too fast) it can be common after surgery, you should consult with your DR most onset cases like that will eventually go away on there own. Just take your time getting up sloooowly in stages. Stay hydrated!!

I had a similar issue and my NUT told me to up my calorie intake a bit and to make sure I was getting enough water.

I am four months post op and it happens to me all the time.

This Would happen to me all the time in the first 6 weeks or so. I realized I wasn't taking in enough calories. The problem was with the 30 min before and after rule and the amount of restriction I have, I couldn't seem to physically consume both enough water and enough calories. My solution I drink regular Gatorade and water it down ( about 70% Gatorade and 30% water). That way I am always consuming calories. Just a side note, there will be plenty of people on this forum that will say this is a bad idea and that you shouldnt consume liquid calories it's too much sugar etc. I'm just letting you know this is what worked for me and my team is completely on board with this. I am 5 months post op and have lost 60% of my excess weight so doing this doesn't seem to be preventing me from losing weight. Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you

@@sunflowerchild - I did a similar thing in the beginning. I couldn't get it all in. I felt full ALL the time. I can't drink gatorade because it's too artificial and I'm allergic to food dyes, but I knew I need fluids to keep from getting dehydrated & I knew I needed Protein. I started adding ¼cup of Water and loads of ice to my Protein drinks. 2 birds/1 stone and all that.
