Sleeved 5/11/17. Having one of the best recovery experiences I've read anywhere. Obviously very lucky. I am a fitness instructor at a major health club chain, so 265-275 was even psychology more at work than every day life.

Highest weight 275

Pre-op week 255

Surgery day 248

Today 218.6

A few days ago 216 after many days of Zumba and spinning.

Woke up yesterday at 5am and barely made it to the bathroom to pee from dizziness, stumbled many times.

Woke up at 8am to teach 2 classes (normal breakfast) and barely made it through, was about to pass out any minute, taught the class mostly verbal, not moving much. Dipping or turning my head triggers it to get worse.

Returned, took a 2 hour nap, woke up completely normal. The rest of the day I functioned back to normal working. Protein drink again, which I had stopped due to extreme expense.

Woke up this morning at 5am, pattern started over again, so I'm here for help.

The basics:

- my urine is unchanged in color, but generally darker all the time, still normal color.

- getting 90g of protein a day, chicken,eggs, salmon, refried beans

- taking vitamins recommended in these forums

- not able to eat fruits much, or vegetables

- maybe a little low on liquids, tap water has too much chlorine and tastes so bad I lean on G2, which saved me post surgery, and is the easiest to drink.

- after a workout Orange juice goes down easy and really helps.

A little worried over here. I can't lie in bed mornings waiting for it to pass.

I can't find a pattern, just looking for someone else's similar experience. I don't want to go to the emergency room when I feel better after a few hours. Big Co-pay.

Thanks guys

I had several episodes where I almost pasted out. Didn't have anything to do with WLS. It was a heart issue -- atrial flutter. I had a procedure called a cadioversion -- they shocked my heart back into a normal rhythm.
