I was getting a little dizzy upon standing a little while back. I am under a PCP's care for blood pressure. Since he have cut me to half dose on my BP meds, I have not had any dizziness upon standing. Do either of y'all have known blood pressure issues?

No I don't have blood pressure problems...I think I eat enough and get my Vitamins so I have no idea, but it's a lousy feeling.

Be sure to update with the results as we probably have the same thing going on

So I had my bloods drawn they think It is my Iron and B12 levels. I was taking B12 once a week now she said take 3xs a week. And I have been put on a daily Iron supplement. Also they think I am dehydrated but I drink plenty of liquids so I dont think that is right. But I will do as they say and see what happens.

I think we're in the slow loser club...I'm at 56 at 4 months...my husband (sleeved the same day) is down 90 pounds! I hear we're not supposed to compare ourselves with others...so I keep telling myself. :)

I don't want to kill myself exercising just to lose the weight quicker because I know I will not maintain the routine once I go back to work (I'm a teacher so I'm off for the summer). Also, I think it will be easier to not snack during the day once September rolls around...right now I'm home with my two young kids that eat every 5 minutes...they're not helping my cause!

      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.
