dizzy after being banded

Hi, I was banded on the Wednesday the 7th. I have been feeling dizzy or lightheaded the last two days. Has that happened to anyone else? I plan on calling the drs. office tomorrow.

I had the same problem and it was because I was dehydrated! We forget how much Water we get from our foods! Try and drink some more water and see if it helps. After the dizziness if you get cottonmouth then it's definitely the water intake.

still, call your doctor :welldoneclap:

I was the same way, we are so restricted from swelling directly after being banded that I know I had trouble taking in enough liquids and the last thing I wanted was a protein shake after 2 weeks of nothing but them preop. Once I got on mushies it leveled out for about 10 days then it started again right before I went to solids once I got on solids that dizzy weak feeling was gone. You need to up your liquids and protein don't stall like I did I just refused the protein shakes completely and it really drained my energy
