Low BP on preop diet

[ShrinkyDink]

Holy cow! On the 11th day of the preop diet I weighed, and I had lost 26lbs. As the day went on, I started feeling really bad. I just had no energy and was really tired. My blood pressure was 94/43! I talked to the nurse and she told me to stop taking my blood pressure medicine. I just can’t believe I am already off of my bp med. I downed 5 powerades and my bp was back up to 120/60 in a couple of hours. My blood pressure is good today. Be careful folks!

I’m on 2 BP meds. I had started a post Pre-OP diet. I want from 342 to 331. I was so tire felt like I had narcolepsy.
Visited my doctor BP was 90/60. I normally run 120/80. He also took me off of one of med. He told me the more weight I drop the fewer medsI would need to take.
I’m also keeping track my mine.
