dizziness after bending over or medium exertion

I'm about 2 weeks since my rny and over the last couple days I've started being more active and have started getting slightly dizzy after I bend over and raise back up or stand up to fast . And today I was bent over dumping out a bag of potting soil and after I stood back up got dizzy to the point of having to grab onto something . I do a pretty good job of getting my fluids in usually 50 + Oz everyday . Protein not so much it's still hard to stomach the shakes so I'm only getting about 25g a day protein . Could it be lack of protein or a BP issue BP has been all over the place since surgery.

It could be both or either...but you need more fluids too...especially working out or gardening. Have your BP checked ASAP. Try getting protein another way other than shakes (protein water, chicken stock with protein). Hope you feel better!

Yep. Just posted about same in another thread. Seems to be fairly common. I had a lot of trouble with it early on when I was exercising but not enough calories. I was just plain weak! I am 10 1/2 months post-op and have had the same issue in the last week (oddly since it isn't a lack of calories issue). It should resolve. If you are on BP meds, call the dr and get it checked. In the meantime, just be really careful when standing up too quickly.
