Feeling dizzy/light headed

Hi all, I'm on my 6th day of pre-op liquid diet......and I'm feeling dizzy & light-headed today. I don't know what to think. Today, I've taken my vitamins, had two shakes so far and lots of water...... Yesterday was a very busy day, I only had 3 shakes total when technically I should have had 4 shakes total for the day. Could this be the cause of dizziness today? I felt alright when I went to bed last night.... Any ideas would be welcome. Beca

Dear Beca, I would say that the cause is your system crashing-LOL-you arent getting but maybe 1/3 of your calorie intake-and no sugar etc....I know that happened to me-and so badly I thought I was going to pass out. When I called the surgeons ofc, I was told to get 2 tsp of peanut butter or tuna or something high in protein. I ended up eating a banana and felt much better. I know it can be scary and you dont know what to think, but IF it continues-I would call your NUT or Dr. and see what they recommend. Please keep us posted. All my love and prayers-Janet

Janet, Thank you for your reply....I do appreciate your help. After I caught up with my shakes during the day.......I started feeling a lot better.    Thanks for your help.    I appreciate having the OH site and all of you great people to talk to. Beca
