Dr said down 32 lbs since surgery on 11/26 and he is happy. That is somewhere in the 30% excess gone range New issue is BRUISING. I look like I have been beaten up. Dr says it is because I am losing the padding. One word...OWWWW!

I was down 32 at my 6 wk apt too! Way to go!!!!

Weird question but I woke up this am with a rash all over my face I have not changed any of my diet and I guess would normally take Benadryl but can I still do that? I look horrible and it itches big time. anyone one ealse have rashes ?

I had a pretty nasty rash from the pain meds the first two to three weeks. My dr told me to take Benedryl. It worked fine. But you may want to call your dr. Hope you feel better.

I am excited! I got my first comment, today from a co-worker. Telling me that I look great!

That awesome!! I didn't get a compliment I got a woman asking my coworker (the only one that knows) if I had surgery. And so it starts. Lol

Has anyone passed out after exercising? I walked for 50 minutes, went about three miles. Came home, cooled down and ate lunch. The. I took a shower where I got so dizzy I sat down once and fell once. I have a giant welt from hitting the faucet. I made it out of the shower and stumbled to lay down in bed where I passed out for an hour. Is this totally weird?

Was the Water maybe to hot and you might have been dehydrated. I always make sure I drink a bottle of water before I get to the gym and a whole bottle at the gym.

Low blood sugar! I am struggling with it. Especially after I workout and first thing in the morning. Doc said to drink a 1/2 Protein Shake before workout and finish after workout. Dehydration too...make sure you are drinking, but blood sugar is a real issue with the amount of sugar we are not having.

{PS: Anyone else desperately missing bread right now?}

You talk to your doc right away! This sounds to me like you are becoming deficient- these same symptoms were explained to me by doc as warning signs for mineral deficiency. Keep us posted, but I would really call your primary!
