Just to state, I am two weeks post-op. So this evening while preparing my delicious split pea soup for dinner, I had a dizzy spell. Not a head rush, but dizzy to the point where I had to catch myself by grabbing on the the counter. It was quick but definitely something where I had to take a minute to compose myself.

I have already met (actually exceeded) my daily protein and water minimum. And, I have been on point with my vitamins. Has anyone had this happen to them?

What had you eaten prior? And how long before? If I wait to long between meals or eat carbs, I usually get dizzy. I have a meter to check my BS and I tend to run low. Also it could be you BP. I would have it checked.

I have has two nectars through the day, and soup for lunch. I follow a fairly precise schedule and keep my food logged, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Thanks for the blood sugar and bp suggestions.

Fruit is a hit or miss for me. It seems to raise my sugar for a bit, which in turn makes me dump, and then it makes my sugar crash, which gives me reactive hyplocemia. Maybe that's what's going in with you?

Oh no, when I said nectar I meant the Nectar Protein shakes. I am not able to have fruit yet.

Oh! Okay. Well, then I have no clue. I'd just get my BP and BS checked.

This happens to me sometimes if I don't drink enough water/liquids throughout the day.

I was about 8 days post op and while taking a shower I felt dizzy so I step outta the shower got a towel around me hollard for a family member took seconds, and I passed out. Needless to say they called 911 I went to
Hosp via ambulance. My potassium was very low. I got a script for the liquid version. Been fine since. Hope u feel better soon.

I get dizzy all the time, went to my pcp who thinks its nothing to worry about but did suggest that i monitor my bp. After two weeks of that we determined that it is low but i have no idea how to raise it. They never did check my potassium.

Sounds like what happened to me about 10 day out. I ended up needing to delete one of my BP meds. Check your BP and if you aren't on any meds and its low, you may be low on sodium.
