Today is my second day of my preop diet. I suffer with ortho static hypotension and generally have a blood pressure of 100/80. I was feeling lightheaded all day and just took my blood pressure and it is 86/51. Extremely low. Now I am drinking a LOT of water. For example today I hAd 16 glasses.

My question is what can I drink with a lot of sodium that is on my preop diet. I plan to call the surgeon tomorrow but don't want to end up in the er tonight.

Help please.

The lightheadedness and headaches is due to the body releasing toxins. Day 3 was a killer for me, and like you, I thought my blood pressure was up. Just stick your diet because you will have to detox at some point in time, and you definitely don't want it to be during recovery.

I started drinking dandelion tea, which is an excellent liver detox, and it helped to speed and ease the process.
