Adjusting to new body...

I've made adjustments and I'm losing weight. I'm down a total of 69 lbs, but the one thing I have noticed is if I turn too quickly or change directions too quickly it's almost like my body isn't programmed to handle less weight than its use to. I finds myself almost falling on my face if I stop too quickly. I don't feel dizzy at all, just a little unbalanced. Anyone experiencing this?

OMG, this totally happened to me around that weight loss mark. I needed to find my center of gravity again. One time I fell over when I was getting up from the couch. I used a little too much "oomph" to get to a standing position and momentum just kept me going forward until I face planted on the ottoman.

I feel silly at times. I'm glad it isn't just me. My husband laughs at me. I'm not the most graceful person to begin with so this must be comical.

I'm still pre op, but I have wondered how long it will take me to break the "suck it in!" habit as I interact with the general public.

I'm like Pavlov's Dog so a lifetime of conditioning is going to be hard to ignore.

And I'm really looking forward to the day when my chest can no longer double as a tray table, or food drop/crumb catcher.
