Hi All. My surgery was 10/13/15 because of chronic HBP and its been normal since then. Now however, I'm 14 weeks pregnant and just had a super high reading of 142/90. I could not eat much at all during my first trimester, specifically meat, milk eggs and yogurt, and so I fear I've been living like my pre-surgery days and eating way too many carbs and Christmas candy and Christmas Cookies. Like, an insane amount, and I'm wondering if maybe this has spiked my blood pressure. Go ahead, nail away!

You are insufferable and your response offered zero help whatsoever. I've said it before and I stand by it, you are the worst.

You know... that's so nice.. but that sure makes me feel kind of bad. That really wasn't the question, or point of my post.. but I'm honestly glad for those of you whose relationship hasn't changed at all. Maybe he just doesn't really love me. @@vsg and @@Babbs are literally the worst people on here. Only a certain kind of person responds to a problem with a brag. These two are consistently condescending humblebraggers who respond to people with either snark, "honesty" or condescension. Ignore them, they're clearly bottom dwellers in the real world but feel like Queen Bees here. Best of luck to you!

I had Rny, I have a desk job and I was ok. I was tired and not a hundred percent but I got through the day and appreciated the normalcy and all in all I think I was better for having done that. After months of preparing it felt good to go be productive.

You look wonderful, congrats!!!!

Mine was like 2 weeks! It stopped suddenly one day and never came back, at that point I felt normal again. It was the only one thing that worried me, it seemed to not let up!

I took off a week. Surgery was on a Tuesday and I went back on a Tuesday. Could have used and extra day but it definitely was not traumatic and it got me feeling back to normal.

Mine lasted about 2.5 weeks.

Huge huge difference!!!!!

I felt the exact same way! I'm 4 weeks out and feeling amazing now. The first 2 weeks were hard and so so long, but it does get better and you'll feel normal soon.

Mine KILLED for 2 weeks and then one day just stopped. It felt like a constant side stitch. Hang in there!

I've run into your comments quite a bit here and while sometimes helpful, you're mostly sanctimonious and condescending. Well, I've never seen your posts before, and you're boring. Good luck finding online support for WLS. What you said makes no sense. I just had surgery, and I've found great support here. Luckily I've never asked a question that babbs is displeased with and I've avoided her virtual eye rolling. But I've come across it often and it's less than helpful. The only input you've had about me so far is that I'm boring, so perhaps you find her condescension amusing.

Congrats on the loss, lord knows it's hard, even with the surgery. Im not sure how far out you are but I'm 3 weeks out and can barely make my goals, and they're not as aggressive as yours. My surgeon also just gives me a few minutes of his time to ask questions and then leaves the room, so I get the frustration. BUT....this is YOUR STORY and YOUR BODY and as long as you're trying your best I'm sure you'll have a happy ending, like we all will. We need to be tough on ourselves but kind to ourselves and that's not easy! Good luck to you!
