sleeved 9/6/19. I get lightheaded almost every time I get up. Other than that I am great. Does anyone else get lightheaded?

Yes. For me it's lack of fluids. Stand up slowly.

All the time. Sometimes, I think other people think I'm drunk.

it's pretty common. It's most likely orthostatic hypotension. Just get up more slowly...

I get lightheaded in my workouts (boxing) when I have to get down for sit-ups or floorwork and then get back up again.

I used to get lightheaded halfway through any workout. my PA said to eat some fruit or something like applesauce before the workout for some quick energy. It actually helped.

Yup. Lightheaded when I get up. I have low blood pressure and low pulse. Make sure you're not dehydrated, and you may want to check your blood pressure.

In my experience light headedness has usually been due to dehydration

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
