April 10 Updates

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.
