1st pic is 4 days after surgery, 2nd is about a week ago. A 3 month difference .. Started my journey at 291 and am now 232.4

I'm very interested iluvabrknheart@gmail.com

Thank you ladies! You are all my inspiration!! My surgery was done April 4th 2013. My goal was 50 pounds down by July 4th, today I and 47.6 pounds down so I think... No I know! Ill meat or beat my goal

My surgery was done 2 months ago I was 291 pounds, I'm now 248... That's 43 pounds gone forever!! I had to post these pics.. I don't remember ever feeling comfortable enough to wear dresses!

Thanks everyone, I weighed today and its 45 pounds now this is by far the most exciting journey ever

I took myself to the ER yesterday ladies they ran every test possible, blood test, urine test, several different blood pressure test, blood sugar, heart rate.. EVERYTHIG came back perfect!! Urghh I hated to be disappointed but kinda wanted something to fix ya know. Well my surgeon told me that this phenomenon happens to random gastric patients (LUCKY ME) he says it passes over time but this is horrible I hope it passes soon

I for the past few days get these waves of faint, lightheaded.. Dizziness. It's driving me insane, because I just don't feel right. All vitals are normal, blood pressure is around 99/61, blood sugars range between 82-104, heart rate ranges 77-89... Called my nurse they said possible dehydration.. I've uped fluids and been drinking vitamin water zero, propel zero and adding smart water. I can tell this isn't dehydration.. Any ideas? Anyone had this happen?

Iron.. Huh? I may have them check that because its not low blood sugar, or blood pressure, or heart rate or dehydration... It's terrifying though. I hate feeling like this everyday. And today it was all day.

I woke up at 4 this morning feeling dizzy and shaky, my moms a diabetic so I immediately thought my sugar had dropped. I woke up my husband because I felt like I was gonna pass out. He went with me to the kitchen and I ate half a banana and drank a high protein shake. The shakes ate still here but slowly getting better an I'm not AS dizzy. But I will say this lightheaded dizzy crap sucks! It scares me so bad. I just wanna feel normal. I was having bouts of lightheadedness and dizzy spells, feeling faint last week and my doc said I had been WAY over doing it and to just sit. ( I have a one year old it's hard ) but I did for a day or two and felt better. Now we're moving in a month and I believe I over did it today packing. Anyone else been in this boat? It sucks and I want it to go away. I see my doc on the 17th, hoping he will give me some advice.

Nurse says I'm not dehydrated, drinking plenty and still peeing normal.

Newest pic! 4 weeks!

I'm gonna listen to my nurse and take it easy.. See if it helps

I've called the doc they said to rest and stop doing so much.

4 weeks today no blood yet

Yep!

Yes

Calm down. I feel like the pot calling the kettle black, I am in the same boat .. 2.5 weeks out I stalled for over a week today is 4 weeks for me and I lost 5 pounds. Keep doing what your doing.. It's what I have to tell myself.. It will happen. I also was scale obsessed. I now only weigh on Wednesday, I call it Weighday

I know it's late but I am scared to death. I just had a crazy episode of severe lightheadedness dizziness, shaking feeling like I was gonna pass out I cried I was so scared.. Ever happen to you?? What is it!? How do you fix it?? It lasted just short of an hour.

Cathy I did call my doc! They told me to increase fluids that I was dehydrated. So I did and I'm much better.

My sugars have never dropped below 82 so I don't think that's it

Called my surgeon nurse said to rest drink V8 and extra water make sure I'm getting carbs and protein in, and call tomorrow if continues

Califmomto4 my blood pressure has steadily been around 98/62 all day. I know it's low end if normal but normal none the less. I'm wondering if because my blood pressure was semi high before surgery ... Maybe my body adjusting??

I plan on it, I also have high anxiety issues which inky make it worse.
