Feeling shaky, dizzy, sweaty...what is going on?
VSG on 06/25/12
I am just over a week post op. I am getting in at least 64 oz of water per day, about 80g of protein and have stayed 100% on plan with my liquid diet. My urine is almost completely clear. The past 2 afternoons I have had weird spells of feeling dizzy, hands shaky, sweaty and weak. Yesterday I had been outside for an hour when it happened. Today I had only been inside. I had finished protein shakes with 0 sugar and 0-3 carbs. What is going on with me? Is this normal? I will be asking my doctor about it at my post-op appt on Thursday but in the meantime I wanted to throw it out there to see if this was common or to find some insight into what is up with my body. Thanks!

Called my doctor and now waiting for him to return my call. I'm starting to get really emotional about this. It's crazy!
Im feeling sick of my protein drinks and really want to eat something. My stomach has been rumbling today and I feel like I'm hungry! This is just head hunger though, right? I will stay on path but man, would I ever love some pizza right about now!?!

I also felt empty after surgery and I craved bulkier food. I spoke with the nurse and was allowed to add in some cottage cheese as long as I chewed it well. I took a fork first and smashed it smooth and then ate it. It is worth asking your doctor's office for bulkier options. I don't think it is head hunger. Chewing is part of what starts the process of feeling satisfied when we eat. You will be fine and what you are feeling is normal.
