Topic: RE: 7 month lab results ...
I had the same problem ... off the blood pressure meds and it's going a bit too low. My PCP had me increase my sodium intake slightly and it resolved the problem.

Thats great Terri!
I just had my blood work results too and I am ALL good!! The only thing I need to watch is my vit D is a bit low. I also have to be careful cause my blood pressure is waaay low. Ironically enough, I was on meds for high blood pressure for YEARS before doing this!! I took my last blood pressure pill the day before surgery and have never taken another one!!
My pressure lately has been like 105/70 and I often get the dizzies or the Im gonna pass out feeling when I stand too fast or bend down for awhile and then come up. Does anyone know how to raise our blood pressure a little? I forgot to ask the doc.

You sound JUST like me! WLS makes us neurotic I think!!
I weigh at least once a day, sometimes twice. I knew I was going to the docs the other day, so I made my appointment early in the day so I hadnt been drinking water all day before they weighed me!!
I was shopping at Victoria Secret yesterday (I dont just get happy that I can actually SHOP there) and I bought three new bras in a waaaay smaller size than I wore before. Then I got a pair of the cutesy lil crop sweat pants that have words on the ass.......I bought a M and I prolly coud have gotten the S! When I get home, am I happy enough over those smaller sizes so I dont bother weighing? Nope of course not! I get on the scale and freak out cause there is that extra 2 pounds that finds me everyday at the end of the day!!!
I AM still losing........it just stresses me out because I see the numbers going up each day. They ALWAYS go back down the next morning.........but the daily fluctuation makes me nuts! I know it would be better to not weigh daily or multiple times daily, but Im like a junkie!!
At the docs office this week, he proved to me that I am in fact still losing!! I had gone to see him three weeks ago and my weight was 7 pounds less this time than last.
I see the sizes I am wearing getting smaller, I see my clothes getting looser.........I just stress myself out cause I apparently LIKE to stress myself out!! I think the FEAR of regaining weighs so heavy on me that I continually weigh in to prove to myself it isnt happening (YET)!!!!
Yep.......my guess is WLS does indeed make us neurotic!!!

I stopped weighing myself 2 weeks ago, I'll start again sometime next month for my 8th month check in. Why become dependant upon a scale...i'm doing what i'm suppose to be doing.
