The surgeon stopped my blood pressure meds the day of surgery.I take my BP every day with a meter that I thought was accurate.Well,let me tell you.It is not.I had a 24 hour BP meter and the BP is high.Had to start back on meds.At the moment at half the dosage than before.Will see if this is enough.

 

This is a comination pill and I suppose the diuretic in it has done its work.I have lost 5 pounds in the last 2 days.

 

Man,I will have to find a different way to roxk the weight boat every week.Mind you,I have also cut my carbs way,way back and have been eating chicken (trying to do food protein of 80g every day) almost 3 times a day.Tomorrow I will do fish..lol.When the weight stalls again I will have a high carb eat what you want day and then I will cut them way back again.

 

I really plan on starting the exercise in a little more formal way tomorrow.Walk away the pounds from Leslie Samsone sounds like a great place to begin.

I too was taken off my combo pill for BP the day of surgery and my blood pressure went through the roof once I got home. At my follow up appointment 3 days after discharge it was 145/113 and I was freaking out. My surgeon reassured me not to worry and that it would slowly go down over the next week or so. He said "Look at my face. Do I look worried?" lol He was right it has declined to 114/78 and I am completley off all pills. The reason he wanted me off the pills is becuase they dehydrate you by pulling off water which is something we absolutely must avoid just after surgery when the risk of dehydration is very high. Talk to your surgeon as see what he says about this. Best wishes for you. :)
