Could this be some type of dumping??

For the last 7-10 days, I have been feeling kind of lightheaded on and off throughout the day, as well as getting periodic intense headaches, that go away almost as quickly as they come. This happens both when I am active, or laying on the sofa. Also, in the last few days I have had a lot of aches....not flu type aches, but like big time overdid it at the gym type aches...and I haven't been to the gym. I called the surgeons office...they told me to call my PCP. I called the PCP but she is on vacation, so they scheduled me to go in on Wednesday to see someone else. I am 13 1/2 weeks post op and down 59 lbs. My physcial activity has remained about the same...3 classes at the pool each week, and a little bit of walking and additional swimming. My food intake remains the same, I think I'm doing fine on the protein, but I do have a hard time getting in 64 oz of water a day (but my dr says I'm doing ok). The only thing I can think of is that I've been eating oranges...just little ones, and not even the whole orange...I just chew it and throw out the fibery part. Do you suppose this could be some type of dumping?? Sorry this is so long....I just don't expect my visit to a dr that I don't know to be very helpful. Thanks for any suggestions!!
