7 weeks out 54 lbs down

May 08, 2009

It has been 7 weeks since my WLS and I have lost a total of 54 lbs. I've been doing well, I need to get better at drinking more water but I am drinking more than what I was previously. I had blood work done to see where I was as far as protein, vitamins, etc., and all was good. My Iron levels were a little low so I have increased my iron intake but other than that everything else was good. I was surprised because I thought my protein level would be lower  Thank God!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was doing very good with my blood pressure for weeks after my surgery and was taken off of my blood pressure medication, but now my pressure has gone up again and my Dr. put me back on the medication. It's strange because I'm losing weight, eating healthier, exercising, and eating lower sodium foods, I guess it is hereditary, because several of my family members have high blood pressure and they are not overweight. I will just continue to eat better and exercise maybe as I continue to lose it may become lower again.
