What is wrong with me?!
No, none of your vitamin levels will plummet in just 2 weeks!
As Chilipepper mentioned, not everything we experience after WLS is related to the surgery. You may just be coming down with a bug.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
My surgeon says it's usually bc you either need more Protein or liquids... I upped my liquids and all was fine after that... Sometimes certain individuals need more than the standard minimum amounts. Try that and see if it helps! But I would also get your surgeons feedback

Just remember not everything is Wls related and we tend to forget that right after surgery. If you are dizzy it could very well be allergies or an ear infection. You could be nauseated because of a post nasel drip. Don't panic. Be aware and go get some G2. That is good for dehydration. I don't think vitamin water has electrolytes. Also. Don't panic aabout the protein. Your body isn't going to be harmed of you miss a few days. Just make sure you stay hydrated.

Bette I was pre-diabetic before surgery so I had a meter to keep periodic checks. I have a husband and kids so he has bee keeping an eye and helping me. I will take my sugar again if I have another strip.
Chili I haven't had any allergies or anything like that. The dr was concerned with my Bp being so low when it used to be so high. Also, I was referring to smar****er with electrolytes in it, not vitamin water. Haven't had any g2 yet, but maybe I will try that too.
I was feeling pretty good until today minus the slight dizzy/light headedness each morning but it always went away.

The normal range of glucose in the bloodstream is from 70 to 100 mg/dL when the individual is fasting (that is not immediately after a meal). The body's biochemical response to hypoglycemia usually starts when sugars are in the high/mid 70's.
While there is some degree of variability among people, most will usually develop symptoms suggestive of hypoglycemia when blood glucose levels are lowered to the mid 60's. The first set of symptoms are called adrenergic (or sympathetic) because they relate to the nervous system's response to hypoglycemia. Patients may experience any of the following;
- nervousness,
- sweating,
- intense hunger,
- trembling,
- weakness,
- palpitations
