Nikkeystar 12 Posted June 18, 2011 I went to the doctors on thursday to see my PCP and my blood pressure was 123/81. Never in my adult life have I had a normal bp reading. I was so use to hearing 140 or higher over whatever that it took me a little time to realize that it was normal lol. He still has me on 2 medications but I'll take that since I started out taking 4 medications before surgery and I'm also on half the dose that I was on starting out. My next NSV is I wore a 5 inch pair of heels to my co-workers wedding last week. I now wake up at 4:30 on the days that I have to work to do a hour of yoga which I would have never done before surgery. Everyday I notice that I do more without even thinking about it, before I would never take the steps over the elevator but now I just do it. I'm so in love with my sleeve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myrori 55 Posted June 18, 2011 Congrats! I was on 5 bp meds before surgery,, gone1 Isn't funny how you start to feel the need for exercise? It becomes a new craving of sorts. Every so often I find myself holding back in my head still seeing myself at 271 pounds and think for a brief moment I should do that, or I wont fit in that. Then I remember I no longer weigh that and go for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to remind myself that I've over 100 pounds and I can do way more than I could do before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a PCP check-up coming up in July and I am actually looking forward to seeing the doctor and getting weighed. Wow! That is a new feeling. Yes and I've never been excited to go to the doctors before now. I would be afraid of what the scale would say and what my pressure would be. Now I can't wait until my next visit lol. I'm sure your doctor will be just as happy to see you and even happier that you have loss weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Candaceshenea I couldn't believe that they were 5 inches and I was able to wear them most of the night. I didn't even know that they were 5 inches until after I was home from the store.
