No problem because even though my procedure is different from yours its always a great thing to be inspired by what others post. I appreciate that! I was weak in the first 3 days of my pre op but it has gotten better. Yes! I am so nervous. I will finish washing clothes & my bed linen today.

I feel for you. I almost had a similar situation. I really dont have high blood pressure but with me gaining more and more weight it caused my blood pressure to rise. So 2 months ago I was at my surgeons office and my blood pressure concerned him and he looked worried. He didnt have an answer for it but I can tell he was concerned. So I got anxious about it and called my primary doctor if I could come in to discuss it. She took it and it was high actually too high for my surgeon to operate on me. I was so upset. She stated that she could not yet put me on any blood pressure meds because she wanted me to come in the next day to repeat it and see if it goes down. I did and it was still high. Then I was like freaking out that my surgeon would see her notes about my high blood pressure and would want to reschedule my surgery. I thought of ways that I could do to lower it . I bought a new blood pressure machine to monitor it. I started to get headaches and I was like there was nothing new going on with me outside of me being at my heaviest. I noticed I felt tired and my lips seemed to be chapped more often than before. I was like am I dehydrated??? Does your blood pressure rise or becomes high if you're dehydrated?? Well what happened was that seemed to be the case. I was taking in too much water and not enough sodium so when I kept drinking water with a very low sodium diet the water in my case acted like a diuretic. Thats weird but it seemed to be the case for me in this regards. So I started adding one cup of turkey broth to my pre pre op diet. Seems it brought my blood pressure down to where its no longer a threat against my surgery. So in my situation. I was only drinking water. No gaterade No propel just water and was on very low sodium... This was not a good thing for me. So now turkey broth is my new friend. So hang in there! Its best to be safe. You got this. Your day is coming. Good luck to you iamready4this

Good luck to you mine is next Monday iamready4this
