Your body is speaking to you loud and clearly that something is wrong.

Stop ignoring it (which you did by writing us) and take action and quickly!

Any malnutrition or electrolyte imbalance will effect function and thinking

as will stress. Because the brain is not a muscle organ, it will not be

metabolized if you are lacking protein. First thing you should do is make

the appointment with a special physician. Then begin keeping track of what

your eating and drinking; when, what and how hungry are you letting yourself

get??? Feeling lightheaded and dizzy could be a sign of a starvation induced

electrolyte imbalance. It is very common for anorexics to be light headed,

faint or pass out. I am not accusing you of being anorexic. However, I am

pointing out that your concern for extra calories Vs being better nourished

and clear thinking is leaning in that direction. Remember, the purpose of

weight loss surgery is health, not to be thin at any cost. If you are

keeping your metabolism in starvation mode and lacking nutrients you will not

be clear headed as blood supply to the heart overrides the blood function to

the brain. The symptoms you are describing are serious and should be

attended to by a physician that is knowledgeable in eating

disorders/bariatric surgery and malabsorption . . . I say eating disorders

only because there are special nutritional considerations of which this type

of physician is fully aware. With a 100cm bypass, there is no reason for

you not to be able to be healthy, have an adequate well balanced diet, the

proper vitamin/mineral supplementation . . . All while enjoying maintaining

160 of weight. Unless you are very tall and big boned, this weight is a

healthy and maintainable weight.

Make that appointment today as the sooner you do, the sooner you'll feel

better. Your body is trying to tell you something, respect it.

Being a VBG, malabsorption of protein, calories, or other micronutrients is

not at issue. (Vitalady) had me try the ProScore 100 in chocolate

mixed with crushed ice with a stick type hand blender and it is good enough

that even my kids will take sips. I add nothing to it for flavor.
