252.8 lbs. Not the greatest these last 2 weeks, but every pound off helps. My 6 month surgiversary was yesterday. If I keep losing at the same pace, I should be down about 120 - 130 lbs by my 1 year anniversary. I have been dealing with higher blood pressures these last 2 weeks. I went to the doctor and they discovered my blood pressure is sky high even with the meds I was on prior to surgery. The doctor threatened to put me in the hospital because she was concerned I could have a stroke or heart attack. I have had high blood pressure since I was 12 years old. I've been on regular meds for it since I was 18. My blood pressure has been going up since having weight loss surgery. I saw my surgeon on Friday and he was surprised that my bp was getting higher instead of going down. I think its because my medicine is not absorbing properly. There isn't enough info on the SADI (my WLS) to know if this is true. So unlike other WLS patients, I am now on triple the original dose of my meds. I was told I had to take it easy and miss ZUMBA for a week, but I went back to ZUMBA this past week.I love it. My surgeon told me I need to be eating more protein to speed up the weight loss, although he was very pleased with my progress. So to maximize my weight loss i will try my best to focus on amping up my protein ( the thought of this makes my stomach churn, I am not hungry). I'm going to try the unflavored protein (Unjury) on my food. I suppose I can put it to the test. We'll see what the scale says in 2 weeks. Until next time...peace.
