27 pounds till goal

Sep 04, 2012

My weight has been inching down in the last two months or so. Tuesday is the day I had surgery and it is the day I record my weight. I say record, because I get a little carried away and obesessed and step on the scale at least once a day. This week I lost a lot of weight 6 pounds. What 6 pounds????!!!!! Anyway, I don't expect to lose like that every week, but I hope I can maintain a loss every week. This process seemed like it was taking forever, but I cannot even wrap my head around the fact that I only have to lose 27 pounds to reach my goal weight. Although a lot of good things have happened (BMI is overweight, removed from all meds (sans vitamins), and have 27 pounds to goal which sounds great compared to 180 pounds) but, I have been feeling really sick. I cannot exercise and I get lightheaded and feel like I am going to pass out all the time. I get weak in my legs and my left hand and arm goes numb. I cannot figure it out. I have been going to the doctor and she assumed it was my BP, which I thought at first it was. I am 7 days off of meds and I check my BP daily and it is normal. Which means it is logical to conclude it was low before. However, after 7 days I should be feeling much better. I am now believing that my sugar is low my mother took my sugar 45 mins after eating and it was 85. Which is fairly low for having eatin. I also believe that it is low potassium. This is discouraging because I have had success in eating low carbs, but it now appears that I will have to increase my carbs. Today I added a few more carbs (which raised my calories a little) and I will see how I feel and how it affects my weight and how I feel.
