I can eat a whole burrito supreme from taco bell. Is this too much at 7 months out? Tracy

Thats what they told me, but I have read on other boards that for some its a bp or low sugar thing. Best to check. I am at 84 ounces in today, so we will see, but my cycle did end up showing this afternoon. maria

REALLY? It's a dehydration thing? I would not have ever guessed that. Thanks for the information, Tiffany Going to hit the water right now.

Topic: RE: Headrush

I posted a reply the other day but it didn't show. I talked with my doctor about it and they said that it was a dehydration thing. I thought it was a bp thing. It happened today and for the first time I bit the floor. So I have been drinking water like mad today. Its only 1 and I have my 64 oz in, gonna keep going to see if it helps. Seems worse around my cycle, which I wish would show up. LOL! Praise God my tubes are tied. And my drive is GONE! maria

Topic: CENTURY CLUB!!!!

I did it!!!

I did it!!!!

101 lbs down today!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!

I'm about 7 1/2 months out from surgery, and it felt for about the last month like I'd never cross that 100 mark! Now I just have 40-45 more to go to get to goal. I can do it!!!

As promised, though, I'm going to continue cheering for other members of the ACCC (the Almost-in-the-Century-Club Club). I thought I'd never cross that magical 100 mark, and today there it was! YOU CAN DO IT, TOO! You'll get there. Just persevere, my friends!

HAPPY EASTER! ---- Leslie 282/181/135 (101 down, 46 to go! )

Topic: RE: Headrush

Hi! I also have been experiencing this. It seems to only happen when I go from a seated to standing position, but it seems to happen almost once a day. I am concerned that I may pass out. It is a little frightening. I am wondering if it happens when our blood sugar gets low, or if it is a blood pressure related thing.... I hope someone knows, no one else seems real concerned about it!

Topic: RE: peripheral neuropathy??

hey, ive got this same problem, but didnt know what had caused it or what was wrong OR what to call it.. several people thought that I had a mini-stroke and caused this.. i had my surgery in late august and I too could barely get around by mid october.. i havent had to be wheelchair bound and no numbness.. but i do have weird feeling sensations in my legs.. just my legs and lower back...every time ive gone to the doctor about this they tend to find something else wrong to fix that ive thought was less important than my mobility but still the same needed fixed.. its slightly improving but not like it should.. when i walk i drag my feet almost like i dont even know how to walk anymore. DOES this get better??? will i ever be normal again.. im scared to death.. im 24 years old and sit and cry and wonder sometimes if i actually did the right thing by having the surgery since i am less capable of doing things now han i was before.. please help me out what do ya think ?? will i be normal again with my walking?!?!

Topic: Headrush

I have been getting strong head rushes every now and then. When I stand up I will get dizzy and see blue spots and feel like I could loose my footing for a moment. Has this happened to anyone else? Much Love, Shelli

Topic: RE: 4 pounds from my century mark and stalled

Hang in there Viki.

I've been extremely slow the last 2 months myself. I think this might be where we have to really dig in to perservere. I've started eating low-fat pocorn in the evening which I think needs to be cut out.

I've also started weight training.

The trainer says I'm going to be surprised at how much my skin will tighten. I hope he's right. BTW, I LOVE what your grandson calls this awful excess skin. How old is he?
