Topic: Pay direct attention to your 6 mon post op blood work!!!!
Hi Everyone,
This is my soapbox speach. Six months post I hit the wall directly hard! I am low on vitamin B-12, B-1, calicum, and vitamin D. Reminder take your VITAMINS please! Lack of B-1 can cause perment nerve damage, heart failure, lack of energy, weight loss to slow (because B-1 converts your foods into fuel)!! I am now giving myself shots of B-1 daily for 2 weeks; and B-12 once weekly! I know we all forget our viatmins from time to time; but I am telling you don't let it become a damaging and dangerous habit!! After all we did this to get well and not to cause more problems! Sincerely, Judy R
Topic: A bit over 6 mos out...
I feel great. Hi wt. 265 Wt now 174. I only lost 1 pound in the past couple weeks, but I had my period in there, TONS of un needed stress, and no exercise.
I started work last week, so I am hoping to get on a routine that includes some exercise. I joined a gym out here (I just moved 6 weeks ago) so there is no excuse, except to go! I have to work it in. I have to buy a new seat for my bike, but I have no money. Now that I started working, I plan on taking 30. out and getting the new bike seat. My work is across the street, so I walk there. (Not much but its SOMETHING!!!) I will take nightly walks in the neighborhood with the kids. But going to the guy has GOT to become part of my routine.
I can only squeeze into 18 jeans, but I have a relly big belly flap that keeps me from getting into smaller sizes. it really ticks me off , but oh well. I'm only 5'3", so that doesn't help that im so short.
Well, Im going to cross post this . Hope you are all well. I can't wait to be in the century club, (Only 9 pounds to go).
((hugs))

Topic: RE: Hair Loss?
Do what I did and just get a nice short haircut...then there's not as much to fall out and you don't notice it as much. Okay, a joke...sort of. But I did end up just getting a short haircut and I don't notice "globs" of hair...just lots of pieces. I used to have long, long hair once so I realize it's a horror to lose part of your anatomy so no mean responses, please! But find a reputable hairdresser and get a cute, sassy haircut until your hair begins to grow out again! Hey...you're thinner! It'll look great!
