My was low until month 4 when I added complex carbs. You know like bread, Pasta and rice. I was often light-headed and dizzy before I added two small servings a day per nutritionist orders

Mary are you taken any BP Med's if so you need to contact your doctor ASAP.

I had the same problem my blood pressure started getting real low the doctors took me off it and 3 days later no more light headedness blood pressure is running 118/67. That and they want me to increase my calorie intake and up my Protein to 80-100 g a day ( ez for the docs to say).

But don't listen to us call your doctor to be on the safe side. PLEASE

Nope, no meds for me. Actually I was on HTZ (diuretic) before surgery and was discharged they told me not to take it anymore so I would not be dehydrated. Hey Paul I wanted to ask about that stitch you had said was sticking out did the Dr say anything? I have two of them, that I noticed now that my dermond fell off!

Doctor tryed to remove the stich but could not get a good hold on it so they want the skin to heal over it and they will try again on the 17.

And my rings will need to be resized I got tape around my wedding ring to stop it from falling off

Ouch, then I do not wat to say anything! Hope it absorbs itself! That is great about the ring, but I would definetly wait a bit to see where you will end up in terms of maintenance. They may sell these rubber things that you can use meanwhile.

Mine has been low since the day I had the surgery and right up to today. No dizziness or any other problematic symptoms - just low. Neither my primary or my surgeon seem to be concerned and speaking as a guy that had hypertension and the associated risks for a lot of years, I'm pretty OK with low!

My blood pressure ran from 95/55 to 115/75 in the hospital. Now it is running anywhere from 110/70 to 120/75. If you dont feel well I would also recommend calling your doctor. I was on meds prior to surgery and once I left the hospitalI was told not to take my meds anymore. At least that makes one less medication for me post-op!

surgery date: 7/30/12

Everyone is differen and I'm no doctor

My3stars they want to remove the stich they just can't get hold of it there is not much sticking out. And the doctor is worried about it not healing and getting infected. And my ring are slipping off to when I hit my target weight I will have them resized. Right now I have clear tape ripped around it to hold it on

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
