I'm glad to hear that you are back into the normal range....118 is super-tiny for your height. You better stay healthy, young lady 
. lol.
Yep...I'm praying to the rain-gods that we will actually get at least some of the rain they are forecasting for this week.
It's going to be a rough, dry summer.

I know, I know...You guys thought I dropped off the face of the earth, but I'm still around. I haven't visited OH in awhile, and since I just celebrated 2 years I thought I'd better stop in and say hi to all my old friends.
So
Monday morning weigh ins....I sure miss those
Surgery High 242 lbs
Current 115
Been at the same weight, plus or minus 3 lbs for a year now. Trying to stay healthy, had a rough 08, but am expecting a much better 2009. Ended up with a total of 5 different surgeries for 08...too much drama to discuss, but most of it related to my original gastric bypass and some of it unavoidable.
I hope everyone is well.
Miss ya!

Good afternoon!!!
Well...
after hitting a low of 118 this week I am happy to say I am back up to a healthy 122...
HW 250
LW 120
TW 122
Not quite sure what's been going on with me- my habits usually run the other way... so this has been a little wierd. My BMI was below normal- guess I had been calculating it wrong. Now I'm back up in the normal range so all is well.
Hope you get some rain Suz!!! :)
Take Care everyone-

Good Monday Morning My January Lovelies! Okay, so it's really more like the afternoon...but who's counting? lol.
So...Punxsutauny Phil has decided that we are all in for 6 more weeks of winter. For some that's horrible news, but for those of us in CA it's actually welcome news. We are sooo dry and are in the midst of another drought...rain in the valley and snow in the mountains is what we need.
In other news, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was sworn in this afternoon. The tides of change are moving and I feel great optimism.
Okay, enough current events...on with the stats:
Surgery/high: 251.5
Last week: 142.8
Today: 140.8
My two year (omg???) visit is on Friday. I can't believe it has been 24 months already. On one hand, my life seems as though it has always been this way...on the other, I still have moments of slight panic when contemplating that this is "forever." You'd think I would be completely used to this life by now. I can say with relief that I have no troubles *knock on wood* with maintaining or eating. My only downfall is that I still don't take my supplements as seriously as I should...I do make sure to "catch up" when I am lax...but I shouldn't be lax in the first place!
Okay ladies, and any gents that might be lurking...let's get going on accountability for the week and get posting!!!

Topic: RE: How do you get your iron?
I was really anemic after getting my surgery, so much so that I needed iron infusions for almost 3 months (once a week) to get my numbers high enough for plastic surgery!
I found out I was taking it wrong and that's probably why my iron was so darn low, that plus an IUD that gave me long heavy periods. I used to take my iron with my other viatimins and calcium with breakfast in the morning, which was usually eggs, toast with butter and coffee with cream. Then I learned!!!
Now I take my iron on an empty stomach or with some orange juice or fruit, plus some vitamin C, and copper (2mg), wait an hour or two THEN have my breakfast!
You can't take any calcium or dairy, eggs, whole grains and caffine when you take iron. Calcium competes for absortption with the iron and NEITHER gets absorbed!!!
I take Vitron C, it's over the counter, in the morning and before bed and my numbers are now in the normal range. I also got rid of the IUD, which probably helped too.
