I had vsg on July 10th. I’m still eating puréed foods and I feel like I eat and drink enough. But normal tasks at home, grocery store, work, etc have me sometimes feeling dizzy and weak. Anyone else? I plan on talking to my surgeon about it next week.

Hi. I was sleeved on July 10th. I still feel weak sometimes and get dizzy. Make sure you’re drinking enough. Yes. Talk with your surgeon about it.

Were you on blood pressure medications before surgery? If so, and you still take them, you may need less. If any of them are diuretic, you may be losing too much Fluid. Please call your doctor; they can help pinpoint your particular issue.

I had that those issues also until two months post op. Check your blood pressure, it may be low. . My surgeon recommended iv therapy for Fluid and Vitamins. That really helped me.

I had the same situation starting 3 weeks post op. It seems that I was deficient in B12, because a shot from my surgeon's office seems to fix the issue nearly immediately.

I had this issue up until 6.5 months post op. They said it was common in “some folks” and to focus on staying hydrated. Thankfully it went away about a week after that conversation 😂

I get dizzy sometimes when I stand up, stretch/yawn while standing up or when I'm bent over and straighten up. I have to stand still for a few seconds otherwise I think I'll be on my ass. I've been wondering about my BP meds, I take two different kinds due to the one not lowering my BP enough. I will be checking it today and tracking it for a few days and calling my PCP if I find it is too low. Thank you @Wisha for this post and thank you to all that responded.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
