Light headed

I’m exactly 2 months out and I’ve been very light headed. No other issues. But sometimes I get so dizzy I have to lean on something so as not to fall. Is this normal? What causes it?

  • Doesn’t sound normal. Talk to your doc, sounds like your having some type of deficiency. Could be anything from low iron to low blood sugar.

  • I’d talk to your DR, there are a few things that can cause this. I have had this off and on and my doctor said to drink more electrolytes, which has helped a lot.

7 weeks out and I get dizzy occasionally. I'm pretty sure my blood pressure is going to low.

Please make sure you are getting plenty of fluids, as dizziness can be a sign of dehydration. It happened to me a couple of months after sleeve surgery, had to go to the ER and they did bags of IV fluids. I had no idea I wasn't getting in my fluids, it really snuck up on me.

Also agree that it could be low blood pressure or low blood sugar as other posters mentioned.
