I was lightheaded and FAINTED!!

Not too long ago I posted about being lightheaded. Well yesterday I fainted!! I grabbed on to the kitchen door facing and the next thing I know I'm picking my butt up off the floor!! My poor dog Angel (almost pure white labrador) it scared her to death! She was lying under the kitchen table! My teenage sons and hubby were all alseep and did not hear me! I was mad about that When I went into the bedroom crying my husband was then concerned but guess who climbed into the bed to give me kisses, yeah my dog!! Anyway I have a sore right butt cheek, a knot on my right forearm and a goose egg on the back of my head!! My Dr is on vacation. Today has been better. I have had something very few hours. So I think it was my blood sugar bottoming out!! I just wanted to share with you all to becareful and I hope you have a pet who loves you as much as my Angel loves me!! I did promise my hubby that if it happened again I would go to the Dr. Blessings Tonya

Tonya, I'm sorry to hear about you fainting. That is terrible. I hope you get it checked out. I too have been feeling light headed at times but have been careful when standing up. Take care, Kelly

Tonya, Be careful and try to call the Dr. when he gets back to just be sure that everything is OK. Deana

Tonya, last Tuesday I was lightheaded and almost fainted! I was getting up to take my little chihuahua outside to relieve herself and I had the leash on her and I was trying to get the clamp on the handle part to click cause she wasn't really wanting to go with me, she's use to going outside with my mother. All of a sudden I got light headed and I put my hand on my head and my mother saw how I looked and told me to go sit down and she went ahead and took the dog outside. Now I hadn't been eating right cause I had a migraine headache all weekend long and the one day I really tried to get something down I almost thru it back up so I knew what the problem was. I hate that you did pass out, but I feel better knowing someone else experience the same sensations I did. You take care of yourself. Cat

Been there 3 times last week! Had surgery on my hernia 6 weeks ago and went for my check up on Thurseday. My Dr. said that I needed to increase my fluids. He said that even though it was the right amount before you tend to get more dehydrated in the summer. I just had my 6 month blood work and it was all normal. Good luck I will pray for you! I know how scary that is your sister in wls Chandi 305/201/?

Glad your OK but keep an eye on those lumps and bumps. We all have to remember that we MUST get our food and water in us on a daily bases. I'm really bad about not eating or drinking at my new job as I started on July 5th. I ate one day and felt sick but could not get to the bathroom so had to suffer Last night husband and I went out to eat and I got sick when I got home. I don't enjoy eating like I used to before my WLS but I would not change anything Donna 338/201 -137

My bump on my head is almost gone!! I told my hubby he has to quit calling me "knothead" now! Yesterday was better. I had atleast some cheese or peanutbutter every couple hours and DRANK-DRANK-DRANK!! I did feel a little lightheaded this morning for a few seconds but NOTHING like what happened the other day!! Everyone becareful get plenty of protein and liquid-the right kind of liquid Blessings Tonya
