Doing good on holding the weight.
You have the Queen of Procrastination here on this board.

She loves to procrastinate. So you are in good company.
You are doing awesome. Are you ready for maintenance or want to drop a few more lbs just in case?
Good morning!
On 7/30/24, I had a follow-up appointment with my cardiologist. I was hospitalized on 7/22-7/26, diagnosed with bradycardia and hypotension. He advised me to not lose anymore weight. I about fell out my chair when I heard that! I have never been told that, like EVER!
I, at that moment, thanked God, I have a therapist to talk to deal with the emotional roller coaster I feel I am on.
I was 146.2 pounds that day.
I have been in constant contact with my bariactric nutritionist and bariactric surgical team. I am trying to just maintain my weight the best I can. But it has been hard to not lose weight due to my current health issue.
Long, long story short, I have been trying to get an endoscopy/colonoscopy since 6/20/24 because I have been experiencing severe stomach spasms and burning. But, due to my hypotension and bradycardia, the gastroenterologist would touch, rightfully so. I have not be able to eat much. But trying to prioritize protein.
I have been taking BP increasing meds since my hospital stay and my BP has drastic improved!
The gastroenterologist is comfortable performing the procedure, which will be this Friday, September 6th.
