Dizzy spells?
Could definitely be a blood pressure issue. I suffered from this for a couple of months- as I lost weight, my blood pressure dropped, but I continued taking my regular dose of bp medication. I would be so dizzy about an hour after I got to work. I started thinking- why wasn't I dizzy when I left the house- ahhh- I take my meds and vitamins before I walk out the door. Spoke with Dr- cut the dose in half (metroprolol form 100 2x a day to 1x a day). I take it before I go to bed. No more dizzy, bp perfect, heart rate 60. So, it could be medication- or you could just have a dip in bp.
This is called postural hypotention. Eventually things will level itself out. Make sure you stay hydrated.

Thank you for giving this a name for me! I'm afraid it is due to dehydration. I go to my surgeon on 5/29 for a scheduled follow up and I'm afraid they're going to want to put me back in the hospital for an IV to rehydrate. Really don't want to go back in, but my scale hasn't moved for over a week now either, so I wonder if I am dehydrated if the dizziness and lack of weight loss are the result.
