    Hi Everyone,
    I just got back from my post op 2 week appointment which is the first appointment I've had after surgery. I only lost 10 pounds but the doctor says that's good for my beginning body weight and not to worry it's different for everybody so I won't be worried I know it wasn't cheating so it is what it is I'm going to be happy with the 10 pound loss.concerning the blood pressure issues they took me off my blood pressure medicine today. My beginning blood pressure was 144 over 88 and today it was 118 over 62.they told me it could be the blood pressure that was making me a little weak or dizzy because I seem to be well hydrated. I will have to monitor my blood pressure daily as I have been doing for the last two weeks.

    My blood pressure has been running about 120/63 for the last week. Maybe I should see my doc sooner. I will ask the surgeon this afternoon at my appointment.

    I did have a problem with the little dizziness or weakness. It was about eight days postop. I laid down and I took my blood pressure which seem to be a little low. I took a little nap and after that I seem to be okay I did add more Water that day and I seem to be fine. I have not had any other problems and today is my post op.I have been taking blood pressure pills for about 13 years now and it seems that my blood pressure is starting to be pretty low. I will see my doctor in a couple of weeks my primary care doctor that is, and see what he suggests. I understand that you normally don't get off your blood pressure meds until you lose about 50 pounds.

    I'm praying for you too. You will do fine.

    my pain the little bit of pain that I had, was surgical also. I took pain medication while in the hospital once because I don't do very well with pain medication. I ended up having to take pain medication two more times maybe day four and a five and then that was it the soreness went down and the swelling went down some and I was much better. I hope you feel better soon.

    Hey Babble girl, lol, chellede
    My incisions started itching at about one week. One was very swollen and irritated but calmed down quickly. My belly button area developed a large bruise that it didn't have the week prior but it doesn't hurt so I guess its just tissue trama. I thinkim healing pretty good.

    I lost only 5 lbs my first week too. Hoped for more but it is what it is. My 2 week post op is tomorrow.
    I like the vanilla and strawberry Unjury. The strawberry is very sweet so I add a few ounces of Water.< /p>

    I was exactly like you. I only followed the 15 min rule the first 2 days. Then I could drink the Protein Drink, about 12 ounces in about 30 minutes. I can do it about 20 minutes. I will see my doctor on Tuesday. I will ask about it. I dont seem to be having any issues with gas or pain. I hope it doesn't mean that I will be able to eat hardy too, lol.
