    Red face 9 Months post-op. :)

    Hi fam,
    Here it is, the very first full comparison photo. (Hardly glamorous) but, the photo on the left hand-side was taken just post op. June'17, I was 508 lbs - I had lost 27 lbs before surgery. My highest weight being 536.7 lbs. And The photos to the right were taken Today, As of yesterday, I've lost 196.7 lbs in 9 months. My current weight is, 340 lbs. Its a daily walk, but i'm keeping at it. Next thing i want to do is take my butt to work. But, I have to get through physical therapy first. which is going great.. Hope things are going well with everyone?!
    Love you guys!
    -K.

    Wow, you are doing so great!
    How do you feel?
    You have lost so much in a relatively short time, no dizzyness or low blood pressure thingies?
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    Mostly i feel good, but i do get dizzy quite often, esp when i bend over to do something. I've had one incident where my blood pressure and blood sugar crashed. My brother shoved a chocolate cake pastry thing in my face told me to eat it. My sugar dropped to 58. i can't remember what my blood pressure was, it was very low, my heart rate was very low. scared the crap out of me. I kept feeling like someone was just squeezing the crap out of me all over. haven't happened since. but i do still get dizzy.
