One week post op and lightheaded
Your lightheadedness may be caused from a lack of electrolytes. Whenever I get lightheaded, especially when I exercise, I drink an electrolyte powder drink which I add to water and that cures my lightheadedness. The powder drink is called "GU", which I bought at a local bike store and has only a few calories.
Hope that helps.
Best of luck,

Definitely let your doctor know. If on Blood Pressure meds, you may have to have them reduced. Also, make sure you are getting enough fluids and are not dehydrated. A little tip. Before you stand up from laying or sitting. Put your legs on the floor, while still sitting and bounce them and wiggle them all over. Gets the blood flow moving and helps prevent a major dizzy spell. Learned from experience. :O)
“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
