9 days post op, keep having dizzy spells



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, today was a bit scary. When I got out of bed, I began shaking and sweating so badly the Water was pouring from my forehead, arm pits, hands and feet. The room was spinning and I wasn't very coherent. I just kept praying that God wouldn't let me faint because I was alone and no one would find me. After 15 minutes, I regained my strength and went back to bed. Do you think my blood sugar dropped? I have been drinking 1 1/2 cans od Protein Shakes a day and drinking 48 oz of water a day. Total 64oz. I get to start eating on wed next week. Advice please

I think it would be a good idea to call your bariatric team. NOW. It can't hurt, and that is what you paid them for! Keep drinking your fluids, and try to get in some more shakes. Call a friend or a relative and let them know what is going on and have them check in on you. Do this NOW! Have them keep checking you periodically, and even stay with you. If you feel you should, call an ambulance, and make sure you tell them about your surgery. I have been told if you have had this surgery NOT to have a tube inserted into you esophagus, but I am not a medical professional, so ask about this. Good luck to you and keep us posted! Blessings to you....

Are you on any blood pressure meds? You might need to reduce, talk to your Dr.

No, I have never suffered from high blood pressure. I did have diabetes pre surgery, but Dr said diabetes free post op

I agree talk to your Dr. I was going through something similar to that last week. I could be up walking and it would hit me all of a sudden. Not the sweating thing but the dizzy spell. My doc says I'm not drinking enough fluids. I was getting my 64 oz in but I guess still not enough so I shoot for 70 oz.

If you still have you blood glucose monitor it wouldn't hurt to check your sugar from time to time, especially if you have another shaking, sweating spell. Make sure you are getting enough Protein each day and keep some glucose tablets or gel around "just in case".

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
