Hello fellow Junies!

Today is a red letter day. a little over a year ago my company gave us a gift of a pull over warm up jacket. needless to say i could not even get it over my head. it has resided in my closet and it has been a goal that i habe been striving for.

Today it fits perfectly!! words cannot describe how i feel. dreams do come true and this happening at Christmas time is extra sweet.

Hope everyone is having a great day. thanks for being there over the months that have passed and all of the overwhelming support.

Have a great week. stay warm.

Good Morning my June friends!

I want to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your kind and encouraging words over the last six months. I am in a fb group where people cannot feel as free to post when they are concerned or they have eaten something they shouldn't have eaten, without someone being ugly to them. You guys have been the most amazing support group a girl could ask for! I look forward to many more months together as we Celebrate our journey together. Hugs!

I have been having dizzy spells so I sent a message to my dr. He asked about my bp which I didn't even consider. I take three different bp pills a day. I checked my bp and it was super low (89/56). I stopped taking my meds on friday and my bp is still in control. This evening after work which is usually my most stressful time of day it was 107/78. Yay!! Im praying it stays in a healthy range. :)

Yes I do too have this problem, I just take half my med now but my Doctor says that I must continue to take it, but I go back to the cardiologist and ask him how much lower can it get , as of now its way below normal and it scares me sometimes when I get up I feel like I'm going to black out, but I have skip it a couple of time and felt good, but now I just been taking them before bed seems to help but my blood PSI is low

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
