Quick Update

Hi all! I'm still here, still kicking, still losing. Just as a reminder, I had my surgery on May 5th with Dr. Horacio in Monterrey. I haven't weighed in two weeks (doctors orders... only weigh once a month) and I'd lost 60 pounds at my last weigh in. I've lost a ton of inches. I've dropped two sizes in pants. All of my clothes are HUGE now.

Most mornings I find myself frustrated with my clothing options, but a lot of people are giving me clothes and I have them sorted by size so that I can just open a new bin when I shrink out of what I'm wearing.

My blood pressure was 110/60 the last time it was taken. All in all, I feel fantastic!

I hope all is well with everyone here!

That sounds fantastic, Brandy! Though I think your BP is a little low. I experienced the same thing when I lost my 80 lbs. Are you ever dizzy/light-headed? 60s a pretty low #. For me, at least. It gave me real problems until I could get it into the 80s.

I lost 10 inches in my waist and know the joy you are enjoying now! I've plateaued at my current weight and unless/until I can increase my exercise, I doubt I'll lose any more, or at least significantly. I'd love to lose another 10-15 lbs, but I'm FINE where I am.

You are a REAL success story, Brandy! Pat yourself on the back. A LOT! :)

Nope, no dizziness yet. BPs tend to run a little low in my family. My very highest ever was when I was pregnant and preecclamptic. It was 220/180. I felt like my head was going to explode. But, it usually ran fairly normal. 120/80-130/80. Sometimes it dips pretty low. I'll keep an eye on it.

YOU are a real success story and I'm so glad to hear about your loss! I still have a lot to lose, and it's so easy to think that this is going to end at any moment. Thank you for taking the time to respond!
