Bp and pulse question

With dehydration your blood pressure will be low and your pulse high - same thing with fevers.  Goes along with the dizziness.
I suspect that your body needs more fluids.  Also you are going thru a lot of changes and fast.  Take time to get enough rest.

And call the doc...

Jeff - I know how hard it is...don't forget sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles will count towards your fluid intake....

My doctor just called back, she thinks it coming from me not getting enough fluids in. I am going to be sipping all night long. She said if it is not lower in too call back and they would see me in the office.

Band to DS

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Jeff,  Drink up like a good boy!  I hope I'm not repeating what someone already said here, but I heard someone say that they used to make sure they would drink during every commercial when they were watching TV to keep hydrated.  If you watch any during the day/night, maybe that would help get you in the habit to reach for a glass.  You're not still having trouble keeping liquids down, are you?  Hope you find some fluids you enjoy and that you are hydrated soon.  Keep us posted please!

Hey Jeff, today my blood pressure was 100/70 which I was told was a little low but I'm not to concerned about it.
