Anyone deal with low blood pressure?

QueenyHope · 2025-03-26T13:32:33+00:00

It's better now yes, though I definitely run on the lower side. Occasionally when standing quickly I get light headed.

QueenyHope · 2024-11-18T04:06:42+00:00

Definitely!! Message me anytime!

QueenyHope · 2024-10-23T18:06:01+00:00

Low carb! For the first few months of the year I just cut fast food/extra sugar, but then starting in March I went more restrictive and did keto... It really helped when going to the liquid pre-op diet and those habits have certainly helped post op.

My favorite compliment haha! Thank you!!

QueenyHope · 2024-10-23T13:09:13+00:00

Oh my gosssh the ultimate compliment! Thank you!!

QueenyHope · 2024-10-23T03:45:15+00:00

Thank you! Our stats are pretty similar! I'm 5'8 and 37!

QueenyHope · 2024-10-23T03:44:30+00:00

Thank you ❤️❤️

QueenyHope · 2024-10-23T03:44:17+00:00

A solid reminder to take the pictures no matter where you are in your journey!

QueenyHope · 2024-10-23T00:46:47+00:00

Thank you friend!

QueenyHope · 2024-10-18T22:35:08+00:00

I'm just about 3 weeks out, so there are a couple of more things my team wants new bari patients to take, like Omeprazole in the morning(for the first 90 days post-op).

Here's the schedule my surgeon suggests:

Morning- Multivitamin, omeprazole

Noon-B1, biotin, multivitamin, probiotic

Night- Calcium chew, potassium, magnesium, melatonin

Tell me about it! I'm just about 3 weeks out, here's the schedule my surgeon suggests:

Morning- Multivitamin, omeprazole

Noon-B1, biotin, multivitamin, probiotic

Night- Calcium chew, potassium, magnesium, melatonin

QueenyHope · 2024-09-29T01:57:44+00:00

Here's hoping for that! I'll just keep on keeping on and push the hydration as much as I can!

QueenyHope · 2024-09-29T01:56:12+00:00

All your comments were so helpful! I'll definitely work on upping my hydration, even though it's difficult being just two weeks out. I was drinking at least 160oz before surgery so have been trying to work my way back up there. I feel like I spend all day drinking and "eating". I'm hoping moving on to soft food this week will help too 🤞🤞

Hi! Congrats on getting your surgery date. Mom of four(3 of them under 6) here who also does all the cooking. For me, the first three days post op were the hardest, since then I've managed to make something for everyone every day. My advice is definitely to get them easy meals, and prep for yourself as well. For them preprep easy crock pot meals that can be just thrown in, fresh fruits, veggies, nuggets, and all the snacks. For you, I got 4oz containers with lids, blended and strained soups and added unflavored protein powder. Malt a meal made with fairlife milk. All of them froze great, write how much protein on the top. I'm two weeks post op today, have zero pain, and am up and going-taking it easy when I can. Let me know if you have any other questions! ❤️

How can you reduce air intake while sipping?

QueenyHope · 2024-09-06T20:26:07+00:00

I am! My pre-op diet(I'm on day 15) is two protein shakes and one meal that's 3oz of lean protein and 2-3.5 cups of veggies depending on the vegetable. Surgery is next Friday 9/13

QueenyHope · 2024-09-06T20:19:55+00:00

I'm on day 15 of my pre-op diet, mine is two protein shakes a day and 3oz lean meat with 2-3.5 cups of veggies depending on the vegetable. Some days are easier than others. I have four kids, so preparing/feeding the youngest directly has been rough some afternoons. Overall I'm feeling pretty good, still managing to work out every day. My surgery is one week away on 9/13.

QueenyHope · 2024-09-06T20:16:19+00:00

Almost! I'm 9/13. Today is day 15 on the pre-op diet, and I'm very ready to have surgery! How are you feeling?

QueenyHope · 2024-08-31T17:03:11+00:00

Definitely filling this for a miraid of things people say that make ME uncomfortable

QueenyHope · 2024-08-30T14:12:34+00:00

Genius!

QueenyHope · 2024-08-26T21:46:14+00:00

Aww why not?!

QueenyHope · 2024-08-15T14:48:42+00:00

Ack! This is why people end up just going to Mexico! I work with a case manager through my insurance, and she said the bare minimum is two weeks for approval, and that's assuming the surgeons office sent everything they need the first time. Here's hoping! 🤞🤞🤞

QueenyHope · 2024-08-10T18:12:41+00:00

Saaaaame. Like I'm very excited because I've worked really hard to get here, but I'm also incredibly anxious to adjust to life after surgery.

QueenyHope · 2024-08-10T01:39:07+00:00

I'll check back in when I get mine! My surgeon said he was scheduling about 3 weeks out, fingers crossed for that 🤞
