5 day post op question

I am so dizzy. If I bend over at all I get dizzy. If I sit wrong I get dizzy. Any idea's?

You have just had major surgery and just a few days out.  It could all still be related to the surgery and anathesia ( I know that is spelled wrong).   My suggestion would be to call your doctor and let them know.  Are you sipping on your water all day?   Try and get as much fluid as you can, I know that it is hard just being 5 days out but you do not want to get dehydrated.  The most important advice I can give you now would be to try and get in all the fluids you can.  This is more important than trying to eat a bite or two.  Sip, Sip, Sip, Sip all day.

I am drinking my fluids all in. 1 oz every 7 to 10 minutes. I have eaten once, but am still yucky about eating.
i think yoiu are right, it is just the after effects.

Hang in there Karenda, I'm sure it will get better.  Are taking pain meds?  That also could be the cause.

I have to agree with Louise on getting in all those fluids.  You cannot get enough fluids.  Just keep drinking as much as you can.a  You have gone thru major surgery and your body is going thru major adjustments.  Drinking is more important that eating at this point.  You will really need to get in at least 96 ounces. I know it's hard right now, but you need to thrive toward that goal.  The light headedness is very very common.  I remember feeling the same way.  Just rememeber your body is changing and you really have to catch up with the changes taking place in your body,  Pretty soon, you will be looking in the mirror and not even recognizing yourself.  It sure happened to me.  It was hilarious.  One day, I was in the bathroom at work, mind you this was almost 8 years ago and I lost my Mom about 6 weeks after I had surgery and I looked in the mirrow and I saw my Mama.  It was the strangest thing.  I looked again and it was ME.  It really was me and I had starting looking like my Mama.  I miss her so much today, more than every.  I wish I could just have one more moment with her to let her know how much I love her.  It's very sad, cause I'm an only child, but I have my Daddy and I have my kids and grandson, so it makes it somewhat better.  I just wish I could see her again.  Everyone tells me that I am looking more and more like her as I grow older.  It's a little bit freaky, but oh well.  I can live with that.  She was a wonderful woman.  Enjoy your new likfe and know that in time you mind frame will adjust to your body as it changes,

Lots of Christmas love,

Things will get better.  Your body is really weak right now.
If your dizziness continues I would follow-up with a dr.
It could be from the anesthesia or could even be low blood sugar or low blood pressure.  Just take care of yourself and keep your eyes on the prize!
