So I am about to be 8 months out and I am having my gallblader removed in 2 days (finally). I don't know if this has something to do with what I am feeling because eating the same amount of food is giving me  full sensation that I never had, even early out. On top of that I am Getting dizzy every time I stand up. My nut just told me to add more protein in my diet but after the surgery I am supposed to go on a liquid diet again so I am kind of worried. Did any of you guys fekt something like this so far out?

Your blood pressure is good though? I get very dizzy if I do not have enough sodium in my diet OR if I stand up too quickly, regardless of how much sodium I am taking in. 

I don't know anything about the gallbladder causing any additional issues, but know my low blood pressure leads to my being dizzy frequently if I am not very careful.

Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

My doctor told me not to cut the sodium out of my diet about 6 weeks in because my blood pressure was getting so low. I tend to get real dizzy prior to a nasty hot flash.

Check with your doctor.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery, DeeW

I have low BP and that'll make me dizzy. Also, just standing up to quick. Maybe just take it slow when rising from a seated or laying down position.

That's not your gallbladder making you dizzy, likely low BP.  Stand up slowly and make sure you're getting enough water and up your salt a little.  I'm not a doctor, but this worked for me.  I think low BP with a lot of weight loss seems to be common.   Mine seems to have leveled off a bit - I'm at 14 months now.
