19 Days Post Op

Mar 27, 2010

I have lost 7-8 lbs since surgery, for a total of  26 lbs total since I started this journey.  I feel better, and so far I am off my blood pressure meds.  My BP dropped alarmingly low right after surgery, which I understand can be a side effect of the anesthesia.  As a precaution, I was instructed to not take any of my meds until I could see my primary care physician.  After 1 week my BP was normal, and again for a recheck 2 weeks post-op, still normal.  So, still off my meds, and I have a follow-up again in 2 weeks.  I hope I get to stay off.  That would be a wonderful gift! 
Anyway, I am doing really well.  I am surprisingly not hungry and am eating a fraction of what I was eating pre-op. I worked a full week this past week, and have been exercising on the treadmill at least 3-5 times per week.  I see Dr. Scott again on April 1, and I hope I can get my first fill, and jump start this weight loss even more.
