Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 I am 4 months pregnant and 8 months post-op. I'm able to eat between 1500-1800 calories a day and I'm maintaining at 190 lbs or so (5'7 " ). I sometimes get VERY dizzy and see stars when I get up. My blood sugar is often low - in the 60's and I think I also have low blood pressure. I find that eating something SALTY helps a lot. Some crackers or even a cup of chicken or beef broth will usually stop the dizziness in the short term. My mother has high blood pressure and they're always telling her to avoid salt, so if mine is low, I figure eating salt will help make my blood pressure more normal. Luckily, I haven't had any swelling yet, so the salt doesn't bother me. Del Buono post-op 8-8-02 296/190 e.d.d 9-20-02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
