No more sand in my sandbox!

blogs/blog-0440227001355353044.jpgCause I kicked it all out!

 

I went to my PCP today for a follow up on my high blood pressure. When I was banded I was on 3 different medicines to control it. About 3 months ago my PCP took me off the last one and said we will monitor your pressure and see how you do.

 

I was so proud of myself, for the last three months I have posted how I went from 3 meds to no meds…

 

Well, today my doctor put me back on one of the meds at half the dosage. I was so disappointed in myself. I felt like I had failed, that NSV pulled right out from under me. I wanted to cry. I pouted all the way home.

 

I know this is something that is not in my control. Everyone in my family has high blood pressure (the skinny ones too) and I know this could be genetic. But, dang it feels like I went backwards.

 

To make myself feel better I went shopping for new pajamas. Mine where too big and the pants would fall off me as I slept (hubby didn’t mine this). Anyway, I got me some cute new PJs. See!

 

Now time to put all my sand back in my sandbox. Thanks for listening.

The pj's are so cute. I am on a half of a very low blood pressure med. Before Lap Band was on 2 whole ones a day. I am fine with that.

Have a great time modeling tonight.

If it makes you feel better, my step mom had the same thing. She's had the lapband for 3 years (really skinny now and my inspiration to get this done too) and still has to take the BP meds. But hey you cut down on the pills drastically, still doing great!

I also at goal was able to give up my BP meds all of them for 6 weeks, but I also went back on one medication. Yes it was disapointing but genes are genes and I we unfortunately got bad genetics but I sure look good in my skinny jeans, how about you!

Yep, one pill is better than three. I'm expecting the same thing with my cholesterol pill.

Cute PJ's!
