Ok So i had surgery on Tuesday:) Well, whenever i take the narcotic it was making me super dizzy and nautious so now im trying to just do tylenol and its doing the same. My forehead is even tingly... I feel like i cant concentrate.. and just really weired.

Is that normal?

I am super weak, but I think that has to do with no food really...

Yesterday my deit changed to the thicker liquids and i ate :

B 1/4 c cream of wheat

L 1/4 c Broccoli V8 Soup

D 1/4 c Potato soup

Today I have had

B 1/4 c Grits (those are actually tasty)

My hubby thinks the food intake is why ifeel so light headed.. and dizzy.. Well this is my menu for the next 2 weeks.

Did anyone else feel this way?

I'd call your doctor. Maybe you are having a bad reaction to the painkiller.

Also, from what you wrote about eating I would suggest you add a lot more Protein to your diet. There are yogurt smoothie things from Danon. You could get a Protein shake too. I believe you are supposed to have about 50g of protein a day!

I am almost 4 weeks out and I get light-headed when I haven't had enough protein.

Also, are you drinking enough Water? If you aren't a big water drinker, add propel (flavored and low in calories) or diet snapple to your intake.

Good luck!

Thank you Rebecca, I will go get some of that yogurt stuff and try it for lunch. Our drs dont want us doing Protein shakes. In fact the only time we end up back on Protein is when we are on stage 3, mushies, then that is ALL we are basically allowed.

There is this Protein powder im thinking of picking up you add it to ur meals.. im thinking ill go dish out hte 40 for it now, since i wanna feel better.

Thank you

Oh and i am working on the Water, before hand i could drink soo much now this sipping has slowed me down biggggg time.

Thank u
