Might be low blood pressure, stay hydrated

Are you getting enough water? Dehydration can cause your BP to change when you sit, lie down, stand, bend over, etc. That can definitely cause dizziness. Are you getting enough protein?

It has happened to me before.  Make sure that you are getting plenty of water.  It could also be your Iron levels.

Hydration, lab levels, rapid weight loss - all can wreak havoc on you. I had the occasional bout of dizzyness for months post op. So DO look for causes you can correct. Good Luck!
