whoa12 reacted to TJS in Wish I was having problems eating food
I had a lot of stomach acid immediately after surgery and found that once I regulated that, "huger" subsided. Stomach acid has leveled out in the weeks/months following surgery so was only a short-term occurance.
Now that I'm > 4 months out, I find that I'm getting more snacky then before. I'll feel guilty about having an extra handful of almonds or a piece of cheese... and then suddenly remember how I USED to eat, and feel much better about it!

whoa12 got a reaction from amb052492 in Stomach Cramps after "Eating"
Hi! My stomach was uncomfortable and I had times when it hurt. I had days I had energy, but most days not. I know how you feel! Hang in there, it will get better! Im on soft food and it feels stuck in my back, so i think its just a process. I have had the same thoughts. Today is one in two weeks i dont feel that way!

Take it really slow and allow your body to heal. It definitely takes a while.

Yes, my blood pressure has come way down over the last several months since surgery. I always used to be around 150/85. Now I am always around 100/65. I have never been put on blood pressure medication.

About a week after surgery I was feeling strange- it was a weird dizzy feeling. I checked my BP at home and it was 90/53.... so I figured I needed Water and salt to help raise it.... it helped a bit and I checked it later I. Day and was still in the 90/60 range. I was like this 2 days then called my Dr. he said to stop the BP pill. Did and a few days later without the pill I am at 115/70 ish. THE add said because I still can't drink all my liquids (I am 3 weeks out) I'm a bit dehydrated. HE said to increase my salt a bit and ensure I drink water
So if you feel your BP is low post surgery and you are on meds... call your primary care dr and they will probably have you stop your meds

I had to go to the doctor and have my BP med adjusted. It was lowered. I was getting dizzy now, I'm ok. So due to your surgery and weight loss your BP will probably be lower.
