Feeling light headed



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days into the pre op liquid diet. Today I am feeling light headed and dizzy. I'm sure it is because of the diet but has anyone else felt this way and found something to help it or how to make it go away?

Could also be dehydration but yes lack of calories early on can cause it. Mine went away for the most part. Oh also if you are on blood pressure meds, you might check your blood pressure and see if you need to adjust your meds. Otherwise probably best to give to Dr a call

      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! 😞
