I'm taking 2 Flinstone's chewables every day. I know my bp has been low and have changed the dosage on my meds after seeing my dr.. My diet has completely changed- I'm eating 75 protein/50 carbs average, but only 1000 calories. They said 800-1200. I'm trying to get calories in, but that's the best I can do. This is all so new to me. I am exercising most days- even if it's just walking a couple of miles. I'm following the 'rules.'
I have to get up early to exercise- if I don't, I am too exhausted to do it in the evening. I teach school (2nd grade) and have early morning duty and have to be at the school at 6:30. It makes for a long day. I'll be glad for summer in another month. Maybe that will help.

I just have to say that I am proud of myself. I have a long way to go to truly become a 'success story', but I am celebrating my little successes. I have been on blood pressure meds for 25 years. Over the years I've had to have bigger doses to keep it under control. When I went back to the dr. for my fill, my bp was 90/55= low. So I monitored for a week and it was still low- plus I had dizzy spells/low energy bc of the low bp. Now, I am on 1/4 of the dose after losing just 30 pounds. Regular Dr. is pleased and projected I would be off bp meds after another 20-30 pounds. My health is so much better and I feel so much better already. The band was worth it just for that!!! I am walking/jogging 3-5 miles a day. I was a couch potato before. I feel 'in-control' for the first time in SO long.

Omg! That kicked my booty on level one! It is hard to do some of that heavy-duty cardio with big boobs. It is just flat out uncomfortable!! I guess it's time for a heavy-duty sports bra!

I found 1 cup containers with hinged lids (pack of 6) at Wal-Mart. They have become my best friend! I can pack my food into 1/2 cup portions and eat the leftovers the next day or evening. I love that they already have lids attached and I can't lose them.
