Since sat when i get up from a sitting/laying position i get a dizzy spell not every time but most times

I was sleeved 8/9 and i have my 4 week follow up this friday. i get 60-80 g of Protein a day and as much Water as i can manage im not eating much food per say i get my protein from Unjury chicken broth, yogurt, low fat cheese sticks, think thin low/no sugar low calorie Protein Bars and eggs

Now to make matters worse on Friday i slipped and slid down 4 stairs on my butt and re-injured my coccyx bone (i injured it in the earlys 90's and in 2006) and my stomach muscles hurt too i guess from clenching them when i slid. I'm in a lot of pain and i cannot do much of anything but rest which is hard too since certain positions to lay hurt i havent sought out medical attention for it because i know there isn't much they can do but give me pain meds and im not sure i want back on them.

Not sure if i should call my doc or just wait the few days till i see her? i was also a type 2 diabetic but im not on meds anymore and my sugars have been ok

I think I would call/see the doctor--it doesn't sound like you've injured your stomach but maybe it would be better to have it checked out and know. If they give you pain meds, you can decide whether you want to take them.

Call your doctor, check your blood pressure and glucose. Eat some carbs! Just a little. I was dizzy and dragging ass until I got my carbs up to around 50.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
