Feelings of hunger, dizziness, anger, etc

Hi all! I have not had surgery yet, but I have some questions, of course! LOL

I have read that the hunger feeling does go away, but what about being lightheaded, dizzy, angry, etc?

When I need to eat, I get really mean and dizzy, lightheaded. Am I still going to feel those effects?

Thanks :-)

you should be checked for diabetes , if you don't have it it sound like low blood sugar to me but i am not a medical professional so go talk to one

Yes, the hunger feeling really does go away! Its amazing!! I'm only 5 days out and no hunger at all. What a wonderful feeling! Though it makes it tough to get in the fluids. I never felt dizzy, lightheaded, or anything like that since the beginning of the diet. I did feel hunger during the 2 week diet but fought it with drinking lots of water. I think if you're feeling the lightheadedness or dizziness then you're not getting enough in. During the diet, eat/drink as much of the approved food as you can to keep from feeling that. Maybe that will help. Good luck to you! 

I can't speak for all of it, but I still get "*****y" when I am hungry.  I don't get hungry the same way I used to, but if I start getting snappy, I know I have to eat.  Usually in the beginning it is best to schedule "meals" or drinks to make sure you don't just go without. 

My fiance will ask if I am hungry and I say "i don't know", he's says I think so because the hungry you is talking... at least I laugh about it now.  sometimes, just a cheese stick makes "hungry" me go away. lol

I have been checked for diabetes, but it is negative. I do think I get low blood sugar though, and that is what makes me cranky, lightheaded, and I also get the shakes. If it gets too bad, I can take a couple hours to recover, even after eating a nice healthy meal. I hope this goes away too!

I had surgery on aug 6 th and I'm having major dizzy light headed feelings. I can't seem to get enough protein, my vitamins are so sweet they make me gag, I see my doc Monday n I'm gonna ask him. I feel blah with no energy to even walk much. It's hard but the weight loss has been good I guess.

If I go a really long time without eating 6+ hours - i might feel a little weak/lightheaded. Im always *****y soo hungry doesnt change that lol. 

There were so few times pre-op that I can ever remember letting myself get physially hungry I wouldnt even know if it's the same.

In my opinion, post op, the best idea is to eat regular frequent small meals/snacks to kep your blood sugar level and keep your body fueled for the day.  The body will always have some reaction when it goes to long without food/water. 

Thanks everyone. Once I am all healed and ready to be back to "eating", I'll only be allowed 1/4 cup of food three times a day! That is about the same my 10lb cat eats! So if getting rid of the "hunger hormones" doesn't also cure the lightheaded/dizzy/anger then I will be in big trouble. I am making a list of questions for the nutrition class, and if they can't answer it, I will be sure to clear it with the surgeon BEFORE the procedure.

Agree with getting the blood sugar checked.  A tell tale sign of issues is feeling like that, then feeling better after you eat.  Post surgery I would go low too (pre surgery- high and low) but once I got myself on a schedule that worked with the appropriate amount of carbs I have been humming along just fine.
