Losing balance more?

I've noticed lately that I lose my balance a lot more frequently. It happens at really random times too. I went to the zoo with my family a couple weeks ago and I basically kept tipping over when I'd walk by this protruding rock wall. At work since I bend over, kneel, stoop, etc. a lot I find myself losing balance more too. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just my center of gravity shifting? I don't feel dizzy or like something is wrong, I just tip more than usual.

I wouldn't be too concerned. The first time I rode the subway after losing weight I expected to be able to stand and use my body weight to center me against the trains motion. I was surprised when I was tossed around like a rag doll.

Your body should find it's new center of gravity-- but it may require you to approach things differently, or with less effort than you are used to using to move your body.

I find myself having the same issue now and then. My posture and balance has changed because I'm not overcompensating for pushing around my huge belly anymore (I carried the majority of my weight in my belly). I also notice, because I'm short, I tend to forget I'm not hauling up 360 pounds anymore when I have to reach to pull myself into a vehicle or something, and tend to occasionally throw myself off balance and across the seat lol.

It's getting better, so I'm sure yours will, too!

I've been proactively seeing a physical therapist to help fix my posture which I know will get worse when more weight comes off.

Well first I would say getting a dr's opinion would be best. But, I think as overweight people we get used to walking/bending etc a certain way to compensate the distribution of weight on us. Then we lose weight, but still walk the same but don't need to, so I think slips, trips and falls could be part of the process. In my opinion.

Yup. I think there's a period of adjustment for most people who lose a lot of weight quickly.

I've noticed it too. Ive also had some different aches and pains. From working with the kinesiologist at my clinic, I've learned it's also normal. Some muscles are loaded differently now, and ligaments need time to catch up. And the reality is some fat was supporting my posture, so there are muscles in my low back that are in shock from having to now do the lifting on their own Hahahah

My balance was way off after surgery. I had to make sure I took my time when I would do things. I do have a bad habit of running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

Core stability exercises will help a lot. Yes, this was an issue until I really worked on my core.

This was a problem for me, too. I noticed a lot of people after losing massive amounts of weight tend to walk (and run) like cavemen. I think we walk the best we can when we carry a lot of extra weight, but our center of gravity changes and we need to re-learn how to walk again. I would look in mirrors and windows as I walked to practice. I am confident I walk like a regular person now

LOL; so funny that you said that, Laura. Yesterday I watched a video and couldn't believe the way I was walking, lol. I need to learn how to walk all over again.
