Thanks all. Well no I am not drinking caffeine. I haven't had a cup of coffee since before the surgery so I am ok on that, and no tea and no pop offcourse. I did put some lemon on my water today to spike it up a bit, a change of pase kind of thing.

I have been off blood preasure medicing since before the surgery as it came down a couple months prior to that. I do feel perhaps I might have gone lower then usual. My normal has always been lower but still on the safe side, perhaps it went way down.

I hope the blood test will tell a bit into what it's up. I was not aware of the passing out deal on post-op. I will be more carefull to start drinking plenty of water as soon as i get up, and to eat a yogurt first thing too, I did not like the not been in control part of the experience.

I did called my regular doctors office and she was gone, but spoke to the triosh (spelling?) nurse on staff and she was a bit upset I did not called earlier, she recommended I rest until my husband got home and then I get him to take me to the ER. Well I went to rest and the palpitations about stop. I know they don't have to do with what I eat, because I did not eat anything that disagreed with me or that i threw up, infact I haven't yet puked once so I am glad for that,, felt like I might once, but I think it was due to putting a bit much into my pouch, seems like 2 oz is what I can handle so I stick to that for now.

Anyways back to rest.
