1st real Punky Day-2 1/2 wks post-op

2 1/2 weeks post-op and been doing very well but having a real punky day today. Woozy, very light-headed and don't want to do anything but rest my head somewhere.  Have had several good weeks despite some light-headedness.  Introduced soft foods last Friday and working my way from 400 to 600 calories a day.  Took half a chewable vitamin and it made things worse.  Share with me about your struggles with light headness over your first few weeks post-op......

I've been waking up feeling like this for a couple days.. Low cals & carbs catching up with me.. plus I've been using the treadmill & yesterday I overdid it and had to take a 20 min lay-down!

So.. I now wake and make myself a protein shake with milk.. 13 carbs plus whatever may be in the mix.. it seems to help give me the boost to get moving. I'm fine the rest of the day. Rest if you are feeling weak, but try getting a moderate amount of carbs in first thing and see if that helps. I take my vites & meds once I'm feeling better..
