Hi everyone.

Something happened to me yesterday that hasn't happened since I was about 4 weeks post-op. I was in Walmart with the family doing some grocery shopping and I was feeling a bit woozy. I grabbed a bottle of water off the shelf and drank some of it to see if that would help. As I was walking along my entire world went black and the floor started swaying. I had to lean on the cart and my hubby held me by the arm to help me get steady. I grabbed a handful of grapes to see if that would help because I suddenly realized that I hadn't eaten all day and it was about 4pm. It was probably a combination of the fact that I have been really sick over the last few days (strep throat, fever, cough), I hadn't eaten all day, and I needed water. Just a lesson for me to pay closer attention to my body and it's needs.

Have a great spring day everyone!

Glad your hubby was there to lean on. Take care of yourself, friend. You should carry some kind of proteiny snack in your bag to ensure you have something appropriate to eat.

Good lesson tho. Hugs

I think for those us who are not hungry post surgery have to make sure we fuel our bodies. The thinner we get the less our bodies have to "feed" off of. I have noticed that if I go all day without food and then eat, I almost get a dumping reaction. Most likely hypoglycemic. Then practically narcoleptic!
