I should have posted this awhile ago. immediately post-op I was feeling great. then I started feeling tired. then more tired, a little weak, and even dizzy.

turned out my blood pressure was too low. I went off my BP meds and have been fine ever since. *warning* going off the meds can cause a "rebound" where your pressure can shoot sky high. be aware you need to monitor it - ask your PCP for sure.

since then all has been great. I started drinking coffee again every day and I had to double the Prilosec OTC I am taking but it's worth it. I love coffee!

Not even sure what my weight is this week - who cares? it's all good!
but I'm down about 30 pounds and am already wearing smaller clothes. I was trying on winter clothes and I am again able to wear turtlenecks - no longer in danger of being choked to death by my own neck fat!

the excitement of blogging has gone away so I won't keep going. very glad I got the surgery and PM me if you have any questions.
