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 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.

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?
