I'm 5 days post- op, I have my first visit with my doctor in 2 days, I'm still on Blood pressure meds. I have experienced some tachycardia and my blood pressure it's still high even if I take my meds. Do any of you know if this is normal?

How interesting, I'm thinking is probably my heart compensating for my fatigue, hopefully it goes away soon! :)

Five days really isn't that long. The surgery itself causes Fluid shift that takes a while for your body to resorb (especially without any drains). Then there is the fluids you are given during and after surgery. I was overloaded with fluids for weeks after my C-section but I do not think I had issues with tachycardia or HTN. So they did not give you a rationale for it when they prescribed you the medication for your elevated pressure?

I have been taking those meds for a year, but I figured it out, it was me putting sugar in my plain yogurt lol something as small as that makes a difference

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
