The fainting and low heart rate is common for those who lose tremendous amounts of weight. You lose heart muscle mass and that's not good. You'll probably find yourself on a high protein regimen soon.

the whole thing about these diets following these surguries are to have 80-100 grams of protein a day.. thats alot!.. Unless somebody has been slipping

just came back from the cariologist, they monitored my heartrate for 24 hours last week and it is just fine. No explenation why it was low the week before though, that's a mystery but I am fine now.

:xxx Great news brother!

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

update. Since the faiting in september I fainted once again in february. They did some extended testing (14 days of monitoring, heart echo etc etc), my heart is fine, it is just low blood pressure and I'm gonna have to learn to live with that.

On the bright side, today I stood on the scale and it said 100 kilo (220lbs) which is a big deal to me, so close to a 2 digit weight which has been a dream for a long time :wo

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

Good to hear your heart is fine brother, congrats on the weight loss!

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

Wow, that's some serious weight loss. Congratulations buddy! Now all you have to do is get back here to Vegas. :tu

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

I should shouldn't I?. I'm planning on Florida again this year, next year I might do the west coast (or Asia, haven't been there in years and want to revisit that beautiful continent too)

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
