I am 25 days lost op. I was 252 at surgery and have already lost 30lbs. I had a painful recovery for 2 weeks post op, but now I am pain free and my incisions are practically invisible. However, in the last 2 weeks, I have been very lightheaded, nauseous for 8-10hrs of the day. My blood pressure is normal and holding steady. I drink 80 grams of protein per day (per NUT rec) and I drink anywhere from 60-80oz of fluids per day, it varies. Take all my vitamins. I am on mushies but I can’t eat more than a tbsp of anything at a time, and I vomit at least once a day despite taking 45 min to eating so slowly it’s not even worth eating sometimes.

Does anyone else experience this extreme exhaustion, nausea and dizziness? Could I just be mildly dehydrated from vomiting every day? Losing weight too quickly? Not enough calories? On the outside I look healthy and vibrant, on the inside I feel like crap. I hope this goes away soon.

Call your doc! ((hugs)) Sucks. Hang in there!!!

Not enough calories. Talk to doc and nutritionist. Wishing you the best.

Everyone's different, of course....but at 25 days I was eating 1000 calories a day and walking 8 miles per day and feeling great. You might be just fine and on a perfect track for you....but just to be safe, let the doc know how difficult eating is.

Low electrolytes can also cause a lot of this, my dr had me double my intake of electrolytes due to some nausea and dizziness and it seems to have helped.

Yep I had the same thing happen to me. My doc had me drink full sugar Gatorade and restaurant wonton broth. I felt 100% better after that!
