Doing ok. I am having an issue and don't know if it's normal or not. I go to the gym nightly and do cardio. I walk on treadmill and when I go to get off I get really dizzy and lightheaded. I' doing a cool-down before getting off. It kinda concerns me. Any ideas?

How much water are you getting in and are you drinking while walking? I am NOT a doctor (and don't pretend to be one!) but when this happened to me it was because I was not getting in enough fluid. I stillg et it occassionally but now for a 3 mile walk I drink 30-40 ounces of water plus make sure I have plenty to drink ahead of time. It has helped substantially. Ask you doctor or maybe Jill could shed some light on it!

I think you are doing pretty food and keep up the good work. One thing I suggest is that within 1 hr or so after doing cardio you need to get some protein in so that it will help your body replini****self. How long after dinner are you going to the gym? It could be that you are dropping you sugar level to much and will need to adjust just a little. Find something that you can put in your water that will help a little. Like Tam said I am no doctor but this is just a suggestion.

I take a water bottle but don't really drink anything as I'm scared to drink too fast. Also I really don't drink much during the day I hav never been one to drink alot of fluid and now I feel full from just taking a couple sips. I get my protein in bu****er... nope cant do it. I am on a totally different schedule then most of you. I don't go to bed until around 3am and don't wake up before 11am. So my schedule is this:

11am- protein drink
12am- breakfast
3:30pm- protein drink
5pm- lunch
8pm- snack
9pm-gym
11pm-dinner
1am-protein drink

Try adding or changing a protein drink to just before you go (the 8 PM slot would be a perfect time...about an hour before) and you MUST drink more and during your workouts. Our bodies dehydrate extremely easily postop and you could end up back in the hospital. Please take it seriously and talk to your doc if you have any questions.

I will try. I have always had problems drinking and I guess I need to force myself to drink more. Thank you so much!!

Yep...we as post ops do a lot of forcing the first year out especially. The thought of food repulsed me and the smell was atrocious...but I had to eat!
