    Hello everyone-I am alive

    So sorry to hear you were treated so badly. That’s not acceptable! I hope you are able to get the results quickly from the PA. I wish I could give you pointers on the fiber, but I can’t use it. It sets off my Crohn’s Disease.

    "Bariatric Store"

    I’m sorry you are still having to do liquids only. Your poor body. I’m glad you are getting so much in though.

    B12 what form?

    Nasal or gummy. Hadn’t heard of either. Thanks for the info, Pixx.

    Hello everyone-I am alive

    I hope they figure out what is going on. I know that GI issues suck. I have Crohn’s Disease. It’s in remission now, thank goodness, but I have to take oodles of meds to keep it there.

    B12 what form?

    I have not been taking my B12 and my blood tests showed it. My doctor’s office suggested sublingual form, so that is what I bought , but I’m just curious what everyone else is using. I’m hoping this will help with my energy level.

    Hello everyone-I am alive

    Actually all it took was for me to finally bite the bullet and completely cut out sugar. Have you ever had a colonoscopy? I’ve had 7. They aren’t that bad and can be very informative. If you are having stomach issues, please see a gastro doc. It is so important.

    Hello everyone-I am alive

    Thank you Carolyn. I’ve had a great couple of weeks. I’ve lost 10 lbs, so I feel like I’m back on track.

    4 weeks out from BPD

    After about 2 months I could eat steak and pork, but even now, 15 months out, I still have difficulties with ground beef for some reason. Like Pixx said, just give it some time. I wasn’t even allowed meat at 4 weeks except for chicken and tuna. I think that was a good thing.

    What's your number? Weight Loss

    Hello everyone-I am alive

    Thank you HoJo. That is a new to here picture. I appreciate your compliment. It was wonderful to get below 200. It was actually not something I expected at the moment, so I was a bit shocked at first. Congrats to you on being so close to the end of your pre op journey. Funny thing for me, but...

    Under 170- anybody else willing to share their current weight?

    I’m down a total of 164.2. Weight at 198.8. My initial goal was 170, but I’m finding myself happy with how I look. I’m 5’9” and I’m constantly being told I don’t need to lose any more. I figure I’ll just play it by ear and see what happens.

    Boredom exercise is the best kind

    Wish I got that bored. :p

    Hello everyone-I am alive

    Sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been dealing with some health issues unrelated to my weight, so my focus has been elsewhere. I hope to get back on track. I’m down 164#. My weigh in this morning had me at 198.8#. I haven’t seen the 100’s in over 24 years!!! I am so excited. My goal that I initially...

    BP

    The dizzy spells and blackouts are definitely related. Tell your doctor right away! Sounds like you no longer need the med. Glad your blood sugar is staying somewhat stable. 30# loss in 3 months doesn’t seem too fast. Your body does have to catch up, but should be able to. I’m doing well...

    BP

    Hope you got help as that is too low. Some meds cause low blood pressure and losing weight lowers it even more. I have this problem. How are you???

    Feeling Discouraged

    I stayed in the same clothing size until I lost about 60#. I was so discouraged, but now I change about every 25#. I’m actually tired of shopping! I only weigh once a week to get less discouraged as I have 4 meds that cause weight gain and have slowed down my weight loss. I’m almost 1 yr post...
