5 months out
Aug 03, 2009
Well, I am five months out since my surgery and I have lost 74 lbs. If you count the 10% lost before surgery, my total is 120 lbs. I have loose skin mostly in my thigh area and all I can say is "Thank Goodness" for miracle bras and Victoria's Secret!! I REALLY needed something to pick those puppies up...I'm looking like my grandma, if you get my meaning!! I have had no problems with my surgery, no dumping or anything. Guess I'm really lucky on that end.Recently I have been feeling lightheaded and dizzy when I stand up. The doctor checked my blood pressure and found that it does drop when I stand. He thinks that I may be dehydrated but I don't think that's the problem. So I am pushing even more fluids now to see if it makes a difference. I have been doing this since Wednesday of last week and so far, it isn't making me feel any better.
I have been stuck at 223 for the past 3 weeks now and it is driving me CRAZY!! I think that I'm going to just step away from the scale for a couple of weeks and just focus on eating right and exercising. Exercising is the hardest part of this journey for me. I have yet to find something that I really like so I just walk with my dog at night.
Thanks for listening and have a wonderful week!
