What kinds of activities did you do to Celebrate your losses? I am currently 6 lbs away from losing 90 lbs. Trying to think of something to do!

Great work! I'm treating myself to a nice spa vacation if I ever get to 90 like you. That's my goal, but I'm still about 15 away. Congrats!

Has anyone gotten any guidance recently from their dr or NUT about what kind of calorie range we should be in right now? I've started tracking again to keep myself honest, but I'm not sure what I should be shooting for at this stage.

1000-1200 for me, still.

Hi everyone. I don't know where to start on this because I'm still trying to figure out what is going on with my body. All my labs are perfect. Except for my blood pressure. I was never on BP meds before surgery because it was never high enough. I mostly stayed in the normal range. Now days it's been dropping anytime I stand up for too long and I get light headed and dizzy. This has been going on for a year now. I have been to an ear nose and throat doctor and everything there is normal. I am currently seeing a cardiologist who swears I'm salt deficient. I've upped my sodium and nothing has changed. Cardiologist has put me on medications (fludrocort and midodrine) to get my BP to go higher thinking that will stop the lightheaded and dizziness. Still nothing has changed. I have my good days and bad. I know when I'm in a pool I don't have any symptoms of dizziness or anything of the sort.. so I guess I might as well live my life as a mermaid hahaha. But seriously, this is getting on my nerves. I don't know what else to do. I've been going to aquatic therapy to get some form of work out and my weight loss has slowed... which I knew it would going in.. but I figured by now I would have the ability to stand up for longer than 5 mins without trying to pass out.

I just needed to vent. Thank you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
