My understanding is dizziness is the first sign of being dehydrated. I'm also struggling with fluids. I was never a big Water drinker to begin with, and now I'm just finding it tough to get 64oz in.

How much Protein are you getting? Fluids are important - you are most likely dehydrated. If you can't get in fluids - call your Dr. It's very dangerous to be dehydrated. Let us know how you are doing.

There is another post about the same thing... but since you are 2 weeks out... advice will be a little different.

Tips

Increase your Water .. sip all day..

Increase your Protein

Have some electrolytes

Take your Vitamins

If you are struggling with water... add something to soften it... eg infuse with mint & lemon, sugar free flavouring, cucumber n mint etc... that helps me so much...

Hi all! Thanks for your comments and concern. I ended up calling the surgeon and she sent me to the hospital for Fluid infusion and tests. Turns out my potassium was really low, so I also got 4 bags of potassium infused and on a supplement now. I could really tell a difference after and it is supposed to be even better tomorrow. I have struggled with diarrhea and they think that contributed to it. Can't wait to see how I feel tomorrow!

Yay... thats excellent.. this is why its important to get your electrolytes... the potassium and sodium in the electrolytes make a world of difference... glad you figured out what it is

Ah seems like we have similar problems here, I'm 8 weeks out.. Does your dizziness come after you stand up quickly?

Yes, it is when I stood up, but continued to get worse doing anything.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
