Topic: Who's your biggest cheerleader/critic?
Just wondering who your biggest cheerleader and critic was? My biggest cheerleaders are my parents who I see about once a week. They just fuss and fuss over how I look. Also, my asst principal just raves and raves. She was very supportive when I told her what I was doing and started crying bc I would be embarrassed if everyone knew what I did and I failed. She's a sweetheart.

I don't have a 'critic' per se. But my inlaws just don't care enough to be interested. They've never asked a single questions about my Mexico trip or what the surgery is. That just blows my mind that I've been in this family for over 10 years and they don't even know what my anatomy is. Crazy. They also made me mac and cheese when I came home. I guess its the thought that counts. :)

Topic: RE: Dizziness
I actually just posted about this on the RNY forum. I have had vertigo since waking yesterday. The world spins if you close your eyes or turn your head. You feel like passing out if you move to fast.

I had this about a 1 1/2 yrs ago, it was dehydration and low potassium. I'm still waiting for doctor's office to call. Last time I really hurt myself but now I know to reach my hands out and feel along walls/furniture, it helps. I don't know if it's the same thing.

Well, the tests went well. No immediate problems have shown up so unless I hear differently, I guess I'm ok. I was just started on a PPI to reduce stomach acid and maybe that will help. Good news was I stopped and got weighed at the bariatric department and I'm down 29#!! No pain, no vomiting today but I haven't eaten any solids since wednesday....

Definitely follow through with what your Dr wants you to do, but to ease your mind a bit... i was having similar symptoms, and it was really about the timing of my meds. I take a PPI daily to reduce stomach acid. Not sure if RNY does that for the first few months out like VSG. And, I didnt have any burning or reflux... so go figure.

Hoping it is something small like that for you too. Good luck!

Topic: RE: Dizziness
That may be. I was sweating pretty hard and my heartrate was up in the 145 range.... I did cardio for about an hour the night before. I was drinking water while I worked out. Finished 24 ounces while there and drank more at home. But I didn't work out last night. Today feels a little different than that last time tho. Thanks for the input! I called my doctor and am waiting for a call back.
Thanks again!

Probably 700-800 calories, but you should be more concerned with carbs/proteins instead of calories.
