Sleeved Male - Age 51 - Low BMI - High Blood Pressure - Type 2 Diabetes GONE!

August 12th my first check-up since surgery on the 1st. I was taken off Hydrochlorithiazide while in the hospital since my surgeon stated it's a water pill and he wants me to stay hydrated. When my vitals were taken, I disclosed I had forgotten to taken my Amlodipine that morning. They were surprised my pressure was 118/66 and told me to stop the meds until my next check-up September 5. My hypertension is in remission! I was told to advance my diet from puree to soft.

Reviewed liver BX results (whatever that is): NASH, No fibrosis meaning no fatty liver disease.

Weight: 232, 4 pounds down.

For those that wish to know my stats:
Heighest Weight: 266
Weight prior to one week liquid diet: 242
Weight on surgery day: 236 (lowest in 20 years)

Surgery was Monday, August 1st, which Aldo happens to be my 24th wedding anniversary. Things went pretty smooth. That day i slept for 5 hours in recovery before waking up! The swallow test made me nauseous, liquid just sat in my esophagus and wouldn't move for hours! That's been my only setback and it lasted most of the early part of today. Other than that I walked and walked and walked. No appetite at all so when I was supposed to be released Wednesday, I hadn't taken in all my fluid. Not because I couldn't, I just didn't start early enough. Between 12 noon and 5, I was able to consume 60 ounces! Taking meds only at night and no need for the nausea meds either.

I have already passed gas and even have had multiple "liquid" bowel movements so no constipation. Bloating is leaving me quick!

I can take quite a bit in with very slow progression. I was moved to stage two liquids today and finally back home! Attached is a pic the morning after surgery.
