Ok as most here know I'm only one week post-op.

I'm having issues with light headed and dizziness when I stand up.
I've been intaking my liquids and have tryed as much as I can to take the protein things. What am I doing wrong here ? I have to go back to work on Monday and can't go in like this. (taking another week off work isnt an option)

Help. . . .plz

your body is still adjusting...are you on bp meds? the same thing ahppened to me because my bp was way too low...have you rested enough to go back to work? especially if your work is physical at all...i did not go back til 8 weeks after my open bypass and it was tough then...you need tomake sure and give yourself enough time...have you seen your surgeon for follow up? jamie

I don't see my surgeon guy till Tuesday. I have an appointment to have my stitches/staples removed.
As for work, I work all day behind a desk doing motions, petitions and appeals (I work in a law firm) so its not strainuos, and I have no option for more time off.

Yes, I was on BP medications, I thought this may be the problem so I stopped taking them.

All I know is that this is turning into a serious problem for me.

Did you stop taking the BP medication on the advice of your surgeon? I had to continue taking mine for about 4 months after surgery but he adjusted the dosage so that it was smaller until I finally didn't need it anymore. You might need to continue with the medication for a little while until your body adjusts to the rapid weightloss.

I just measured my BP at that Walmart Machine and it was 98/67. I was only on the water pill thing (my normal BP use to range 150/110)

I ran a brief search here and came up that this is a common problem for some people that have had WLS. As suggested, I have upped my B-12 intake. I think its working. Haven't felt too dizzy since I started doing this.

And for those that asked, yes I am taking all my supplements.

I will keep everyone posted on this progress.
