Week 8: -34lbs and I feel great!

[BlueGirl1920 94]

The pain in my back and hips is gone. I am starting to get my energy back. My clothes are almost starting to get to big. So many good things to report, it certainly outweighs the bad. Speaking of bad, I went a week without laxatives and ended up with Constipation so bad, giving birth was easier. I still have a hard time eating solids without feeling sick. I Thought I was drinking enough fluids but I guess I wasn't. I kept getting really dizzy and almost passed out a few times. I figure low fluids equal low blood pressure. I increased my fluids and I am doing fine now. I am getting used it crunching down 4 Vitamins a day. Not always easy to remember. Every morning I put four on the microwave and that reminds me to take them and I don't lose count throughout the day. Sadly, my weight loss has slowed. Diet want be enough from here on out. I am going to have to start exercising and stop being a couch potato. Exercising will be easier now that I have a bunch of weight off. Overall, I am motivated, excited, and starting to dream again. For so long I decided I would never lose weight and started to give up on some dreams. I see myself being able to do things that were once not possible. This is no cake walk but it sure is worth it.

Congrats! And I’m going to have to try crunching my Vitamins. I feel like I’m losing some of the potency when I crush them since it leaves so much residue.

Awesome!! I’m in my 7th week post op- went back to work last week- it’s been a real struggle to get my Fluid in also!! Very weak today! I feel good but not ya know? I take sub lingual B 12 and don’t see much difference. Oh well, hopefully this too will pass!
