g'morning... I posted a few of the photos from the giftbook I put together....

I will have to make up a trophy for you

When Christopher and Yvonne mentioned the diuretic I also thought....DUH I didn't even think of that either.

Congrats on your WOW moment with the ring. I think that is great. And I'm sure you and hubby will be off of meds soon. Monday I go back to the Surgeon to have him check if my incision is healing. I'm suppose to go back to work on the 15th and I want to make sure it is healed. I work in a hospital and don't want to worry about MRSA or any other infection when I have an open wound. I also see the dietitian on Monday so I advance to the soft food stage.....YEAH!!!! Right now  milk, water, cream of chicken soup and pureed Wendy's chili is all I can tolerate. I cant do yogurts(reg or greek),jello or protein shakes.Why the chili and not the yogurts beats me. I'm hoping to find more of a variety that  I can tolerate at this new stage.

Big Hugs back....Tressa

Oh I am so happy for you! I am on a pill with a diruetic in it also and never thought about it dehydrating me..DUH..I am down to half a dose and hoping with I see the surgeon on Tuesday with DH that he will take us both of some more bp meds. So glad to hear you went to the Dr and that things are ok..so what do I win for calling it right? LMAO..just kidding girl! Oh and I have a little news myself..I got into my jewelry and found a ring I have not worn in years and it fits me now :) Keep taking such wonderful care of yourself Tessa..it pays off big time. Big Hugs..Katie

Katie you have to know that when you tell me what you got out of my post that it makes it all worth every word.  YOU and people like you are the reason I do this.  It is so much easier when you talk with someone that has walked on the road before.  I'm so glad you are liberated too!  What a small thing that becomes a big thing until you talk about it and it becomes small again!  I love my Wii Fit. It is every bit of a work out.  Like most things it is what you make it.  I'm just soooo glad you talked about it.  So you got any more?  When and if you do, spill it girlfriend!    I like the Heavyweight Yoga2 DVD.  I don't remember if I mentioned it before or not.  Please forgive me if it's in the same post!  I forget where I type things so I'd rather retype it than not mention it.  It's at www.heartfeltyoga.com
Yoga for me is like slow dancing with yourself and it helps expand your range of motion.  Those skinny b's that bend like a pretzel (so I've been called) didn't start that way.  We all start by starting to touch our toes or get as close as we can.  The next day it goes a little further. 

When we lose the weight we also forget to be mindful of how we move and walk.  When I get tired I revert to walking like I did when I was much heavier.  All stuff that I'd love to make videos about.  Some day....right?  You're a cutie and you made me smile....and I really needed it.
hugs, Y

Yikes!  It is hard enough to stay hydrated after WLS.  I'm glad they discontinued your diuretic.

They discontinued my BP medicines the day of my surgery.  I still got lightheaded for several months because of ketosis, dehydration, my body adjusting to the smaller me, etc.  Just keep drinking all day long...  and hopefully you will be able to stop your other BP medication the next time your doctor sees you!

Good luck!

Chris
