Mine has been running low also. I'm 2 1/2 post. I've stopped taking my blood pressure meds for now. I'm keeping records of it until I go to my regular doctor in a few weeks. I go to my surgeon this coming week. I go back to work then too so it may change.

I had my sleeve surgery on 3/27/19 and my doctor also corrected a hernia.

I have pain when I drink Water, I have been followed the post-op diet/timeline to a T and still I get this pain as the Fluid reaches the opening of my stomach, my questions are:

1) has anyone else experienced this?

2) how long does it last?

In terms of the sleeve surgery, other than being a little sore near one of the incisions I have no issues.

Thanks in advance for your response and the sharing of your experience.

Warm regards.

I still have that pain if I try to drink more than a sip at a time. It's much better but it's still there. I have to sip then wait a few seconds for the next.

@othella2 & @si*******on
Forreal!! I’m a month post op and have been stuck at 26 pounds lost for 2 weeks.
I’ve been having a really hard time getting any food down. Beans, eggs, cottage cheese, chicken, I guess my sleeve doesn’t “like” any of it? Can’t really eat without feeling sick.
Anyone else having a hard time getting “real food” down?

I'm 2 &1/2 weeks out. Lost 20 lbs. If I eat too fast without letting "my food hit bottom" between bites I feel sick. If I try to eat more than 1/2 cup a meal I feel sick & hurt sometimes.

2nd week out & 20 lbs down. Tried puree foods but most are just horrible. Not the same taste I've been just mashing food up really good and eating small bites chewed really good. Also drinking Protein Shakes and Protein Water. It don't take much before I can't eat anymore without hurting. I've found I can't burp or pass gas. Bought some gas-ex today and feel so much better. That's my next best friend now.

Mine was March 27th 2019, 1 week ago.

4 days after surgery & it gets better each day. How long until the swelling goes away?
