Weak & faint on pre-op diet
VSG on 10/16/12
I'm on day 9 of my 2 week liquid protein pre-op diet.
All of a sudden this afternoon I am Very weak, clammy and I feel faint.
Any suggestions? I am seriously feeling awful right now.
ETA: Just took my BP and it's 125/90 so that;s fine.

Do you take any medication? Anything for blood pressure? I have to be careful right now..i was not drinking my broth like I was supposed and it made my blood pressure drop. If you are not eating any salt it could be your bp. can you check it some how? Either way Good luck, and I hope you feel better. If it is low, drink some broth with extra salt. That is what my pcp told me...

I usually have normal BP, but I do have a BP cuff, so I will go check it now....

Hi all,
If you want to know a secret, I didn't do my pre op diet, I ate like normal, and when I had my surgery the Doc. said 'I had a huge stomach" that he took out. I think my stomach was large because I didn't diet so it is like an accordian and when he did the surgery this made sure that my new sleeve is very small! I have no problem with loosing and controlling my appitite, which is good because I hear on here many people who feel like they are constantly hungry like before surgery!
