GREAT 4 month follow up
So I saw the PA yesterday, and I am doing well. My weight on surgery day was 307, and yesterday I was 219...OMG 
, never thought that day would come. My B/P was 119/79, another OMG because before surgery I was on Lasix and 100mg of Toprol XL daily for my bp of 170/110. After surgery they took away the Lasix and put me down to 50mg of Toprol..and about 1.5 months ago I stopped it altogether because I was getting dizzy a lot...I take my bp daily and chart it...just in case, it has been perfect! And it was yeaterday too even after driving an hour to the office in a horrible storm! I am no longer on my Nexium, and she was fine with that...I have been on that for 10 years, and since surgery no heartburn at all!!! And I also took myself off my Lexapro (I know I am bad...) and no anxiety or depression, knock on wood. No more sleep apnea or knee pain either! I just cannot believe this, I feel GREAT!!!
I now take b-12, Biotin, multi vit, and calcium w/D. Thats, only vitimins...something I never took in my life. I know I dont get in enough protein, I just cant stomach the shakes....so I will try harder. We will see what my bloodwork shows...My next appt is in November. I eat the best I ever have, I always eat protein first... and I cannot eat any more than 7-9 grams of sugar per searving or I get sick! So I eat sugar free, and stay away from carbs...altho I can eat the high protein pasta, but only once in a while. I cant tolerate bread either. I am thankful for that. Thanks for all your support guys, I think this is the best thing I have ever done. Oh and I started in a size 24 pant and a 4X shirt, now I am a 16 pant and XL shirt....another OMG!!!
hI added a pic of my aunt, mom, and myself...we have each lost about 87 lbs!!! Take a look!
