Hi Donna, I'm glad they figured it out. That is very scary. I had blood clots that traveled to my lungs - pulmonary embolism with my GB which was very scary. It has made me reluctant to want to do plastic surgery. The risk of a second blood clot is much higher once you've had one. I took coumidin for 6 months. Was in the hospital 11 days. I will keep you in my prayers. Dianne

I'm having awful period issues. I had a miscarriage last month - and I've been bleeding on and off since. Now, I'm having another period, I think. Before this insanity, I got random, very heavy periods. GROWL! -Beth 313/???/goal is still 130ish

Hi Donna. I'm so glad that the doctor figured things out! What a surprise! You take it real easy and let us know how you are doing. God bless. Peg

Lucky for me chicken is one of the few things I can eat. Hang in there. dianne

Hi, yes, I remember you from BTC....I find that I eat different than most folks...sometimes I worry about eating too much, or too often... I have stopped the junk!!! Although I ate terribly for about a week, I did NOT gain even an ounce. But to be honest, I do intend to occasionally eat "junk"....it is a part of normal life, at least for me... I can NOT go more than approx 3 hours without eating....sometimes I can go 4 hrs, but usually not...my bloodsugar goes way to low...sometimes to 40' s and 50's.... Today.... Breakfast...approx 7:30 am 1 slice toast with peanut butter and sf jelly 10:45 half grilled cheese sandwich w/lowfat swiss cheese AND chicken lunchmeat (low fat/low calorie) & and small handful of torilla chips 12:00 ONE small choc truffle and a few handfuls of low fat microwave popcorn 3:00 3/4 sm orange and 3 small/thin slices of swiss cheese and 3 triscuits For dinner...I am thinking about fixing a small ham that is in the freezer...maybe with some fresh string beans.... Since surgery I crave ham a lot... I have two on-going issues since surgery....low blood sugar and low blood pressure...I had both prior to gaining weight...so not WLS related just me....sometimes I wonder if I want the ham because of the salt... I do MUCH better when I am on a schedule...since the week prior to Christmas I have been WAY off my schedule....hopefully after I go back to work on Tuesday I will go back to my normal eating habits...I typically do NOT eat peanut butter but maybe once every two weeks.... Remember we all lose at our own speed...also, sounds like you are not eating very many calories per day....I must get in at least 1500 per day, usually more, otherwise I will continue to lose weight....although I am thinking after I maintain my weight for a while, maybe I will try for 5 more pounds... Best wishes to you...remember, think about the positive....you have lost SO MUCH WEIGHT....85 lbs!!! Very nice indeed... Have you chatted with the nutritionist at BTC? I have phoned back numerous times and have always gotten good advice... Best wishes..and lets keep in touch.... RAE
