3 Week Post Op Checkup

May 12, 2010

Hello everyone!! I had my 3 week checkup today and my incisions look good and are healing nicely...My labs are all good and my weight is good I have lost 22 lbs. since surgery :)  However they almost admitted me into the hospital for dehydration and was gonna do IV fluids b/c I am stilly dizzy and have feelings of passing out at times but they sent me home and told me to try to drink more fluids to keep from getting dehydrated and help with the dizziness and feelings of passing out...I am trying but I am struggling with it just feels like I don't want to keep drinking but I know it's what I have to do she suggested keeping a drink on my nightstand by my bed at night to keep sipping...I am getting 40 oz. in but for me it's just not enough she said some it will be okay but my body needs the more fluid intake so I will def. be trying to more....I don't go back to work until June 7th and back to the dr. until June 23rd unless I can't get my fluids in then they will admit me to hospital....I am walking just about a mile a day and trying to increase it which is good for me with just being 3 weeks out from surgery they were really proud with that....They said my Ideal weight for me is to lose 75% of my weight which will be 198 I will be good with that but my goal is 140-150 so def. will be aiming for that:) Thanks to all for your support I know I can't wait to go back to Curves and start working out again!! ~Lisa
