Thought I had it under control



Recommended Posts

Well last night about 3:30 in the morning I got up for a CPAP issue and thought I would check out the restroom since I was up. The next thing I know I am on the bathroom floor on all four with a sore head and Water running. My husband came to my rescue to discover that I had passed out and hit my head on the toilet breaking it. While he was attending to that, I stood up and passed out again. I did not even know I stood up. Needless to say, I ended up in the ER and after all the tests it was discovered that I had positive orthostatic vital signs which meant that my pulse rate would drop quite a bit when I stood up and I was dehydrated. I thought I was doing okay with my fluids, knew it was not great, but I need to do more. Also, I have to stop my beta blocker which is the second medication that I have had to stop since surgery, which is a good thing. That should help the pulse rate drop. Blood pressure was okay. A little sore today, must have hit the side of my body against the counter or something, but I am glad that I know what happened and can fix it. Just want all those not too far out to REALLY be careful about fluids and check in with your regular doctor, too, regarding any meds you may be on that may change with your new sleeve. Lesson learned today.

Wow, I cant believe you broke the toilet..with your HEAD...I am glad you are okay. On a side note, my husband would never let me live that down or stop laughing (after he knew I was alright of course)

I know--it does sound funny but it was so freaky to both of us that he has not teased me at all. Wait a minute, he has too. He asked me tonight if I said good-bye to the old toilet that was now outside. I said I did not want anything to do with it anymore. He said "Since you kissed it the other night I thought you would at least want to say goodbye to it" Funny man. <_<

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
