Keep taking those vitamins!!!!

I have learned a valuable lesson this last month. I have been at 156.5 for like 4 weeks. I was starting to get mad and depressed about it. Well I hadn't been taking my vitamins (multi-vit and foltrim, which is iron and b-complex) because I switched to my husbands insurance and the prescription plan has been messed up. Well any way.....I went to walmart and got iron and a b-complex over the counter until the insurance is figured out, I figured some was better than none. Now I bought these on thursady and shock shock I was still at 156.5. Well I weighed my self on saturday and I was down to 152.5. I lost 4 lbs in 2 days. I wasn't doing anything different except the vitamins so I truely believe that this has been the biggest cause of my slump. not just that but I was beyond exhaustion because of the lack of b-12 and iron. And I am a nurse I should know better. But I just want you guys to make sure to take your vitamins!!!!!!! 225/152!/120ish (hopefully!) Stacy

That is great you are down 78 pounds. First, my name is JoAnn. I too had the surgery on January 19th. In my beginning months it was hard on me as my system was not allowing me to keep down the foods I was eating. So you know where I was most of the time. It was a bummer at first. But I am now 5 months and around 3 1/2 to 4 months after the surgery my system starting digesting the food. Except I still have some problems with noodles, rice and sometimes potatos, Pork chops no mattewr how thin I get them they will noyt digest for me. Other than that I am able to eat most foods now. I weighed 419 before I decided to have the surgery. I lost 21 1/2 pounds 2 weeks before the surgery. I now weigh 303. I total that at 116 pounds. I was at a 3 week stand still not losing weight and I was told that is normal. I am happy with waht I have lost and I no longer have to take my diabetes or B/P meds. I am only taking Celexa for depression and talwin every now and then for my knee pain. I do take a Multiviatmin with iron,. 1500 MG of calcium, B-Complex every day and 1000 Mg B-12 shot once a month. I am so happy to be off my meds. I have 175 pounds to go to get down to be 130 Pounds. But I will see what I look like at 150 pounds. I think I will have to go down to 130 pounds as I am small bone and I am only 5 foot. I wish you much sucess as you comtinue to lose the weight and I also would love to be your new friend and get emails from you. My email addresss is [email protected] I look forward to hearing from you.Take care and God Bless you. Sincerly, JoAnn
