Hey y'all!
I am about 4 weeks post-op. I have a dizzy spell about every day it seems. I'm doing all the things you're supposed to do - vitamins, protein, water, blah, blah, blah. However, I very nearly passed out today. I felt my eyes start to roll back and I stumbled over to the couch. It scared me. I'm wondering if I'm just not getting enough water and electrolytes. Before surgery, I religiously drank a minimum of 64 oz of water a day. Obviously, there is no way I can drink that much now. At least, not if I'm going to be able to consume anything else. Immediately after surgery, I was treated for low potassium a couple of times. I'll be talking to my doctor about this. I'm a nurse at a jail and have a lot of yard work to do. I took it easy for 3 weeks, so its time to get going again lol. Anybody else experience this?
