10 days post VSG

Options
Hello everyone.
Just had a VSG 10 days ago and I am on the pureed stage as per my surgeon/ nutritionist. Struggling a bit with portions (learning what suits me). I have my vitamines, and I drink 2 litres of water. I lost 6 kilos (13ish lbs).. I am however STRUGGLING with lightheadedness. I cannot stay up for long.. When I walk, I’ll literally will get black spots in my vision and feel like losing consciousness. Some days are better than others..
has anyone else experienced this?

    Yikes! I would think a quick call to your surgeon might benefit you!
    I hope you feel better

    I had the same issue! Mine got so bad I couldn't hold my niece because I was scared I would drop her. (She was about 3 months old at the time) Definitely talk to your surgeon. My surgeon recommended I increase my salt intake and that cleared everything up. Again, speak with your surgeon bc he or she knows you WAY better than I do, but increasing salt made a night and day difference.
