  1. What's the deal? Talked to some friends, they are also having high BP problems. Worse than mine!

      Hello, I can only speak for myself. I had been on BP medicine for 3 years. Once I decided to have the sleeve, I lost 30 pounds pre-op and I found my BP was then too low. They took me off my medicine a month prior to my surgery. So far so good.

  2. I think menopause symptoms have returned why Im feeling crappy, as my bp is back to normal but still feeling hot and just not me..

      Yeck, the perimenopause! It comes on at any given time and I'm a scalp sweater so that usually means no hairstyle for me that day. I feel that when I have my surgery, I will get off high blood pressure meds just to substitute them for menopause pills. What gives! Good luck and hope it doesn't last long for you.

      I as doing pretty good keeping them under control, but I've been trying different protein drinks to keep costs, I've been on Optifast for ever and that pretty much keep all the s/s away but since Ive been experimenting, I've been a mess, told my hubby this a.m. that even though they might cost alittle more I am worth it!

      I know I haven't been sleeping enough, not working out daily, letting something else take me away ,reasoning with myself that I'll do it later, and we all know later really ends up later,. so now back to Norvasc and Diovan to get bp under control again.. I pray for strength I know I can do it,, !

      yep, its all a learning curve, Im still, 4 years later, switching protein powders, one cheaper, one better flavor, one better crap in it. etc. :)

      It sucks, went to md today, and I don't even want to say what BP was, but dr, doubled med Im taking now and adding another one :(, hopefully stop that shake, back to basics, and things will calm down.. I like Optifast, but that stuff's expensive, I get it from ebay now and then.

  6. All I got was a dirty look

      Good for you for getting the checked first and foremost , also just link they had all that stuff and they probally couldn't get a real clear pic before , but now that you are getting more healthy , they can see more of nothing hopefully , but I applause all women and men also to get their breast checked to be safe and look at you taking more steps to be healthy , good for you.

  11. NSV: tried on new underwear, couldn't tell which were the legs and which was waist everything was same size.. lol

    1. Debbie3sons

      Debbie3sons

      LOL I had to buy a couple of smaller sizes , and even the smaller ones are already getting a bit loose , look at the size you used to fit into , and look at the size now , maybe you will have to take a pic and post of the before and after lol , got to post this as a NSV, as it is , now probally time to get measured to see what size you are on top and bottoms.

  20. You reach a point where its not about the numbers anymore (at least for me)

    1. RJ'S/beginning

      RJ'S/beginning

      thats right...it is about the changes in your head and the journey it takes to get where you are...Numbers are only part of it..The rest is about the changes and successes you have!

  21. NSV: ? On my way to work I see some of the guys I work with, I wave and they wave back. Yesterday I waved at two of them with no response. Later when I saw him, he said I didn't realize that was you!

  22. Your family and friends can lie to you , even you can lie to yourself, but only the mirror will tell you the blunt true!
