Please keep us posted. So many of us have different problems at this stage, hopefully if we all check up on one another we can solve some of these issues............My answer lies in the Ensure. :)

Hi Kim
The ensures actually have literally saved my life. I was losing and losing and was at a very low weight, the lowest being 112 and I am 5 ft 6 ...As far as the sugar content, Yeah, Im sure it is high but the calories are 250 each and at least 2 meals a day they are my meal and a nighttime one before bed. I dont have a problem with sugar. but I still have a few problems with other things, meats and pastas tend to make me sick still. Hope you are well.

Hi Sher,
Sorry it took so long to get back here. One thing after another going on....I have gained back up to 120 now and it looks like thats where Im staying.......My blood work came back normal for the first time last month....Its the ensures that saved me. My doc was so worried about the continued weight loss, she actually told me if I kept going the way I was, I wouldnt be around another year. She was THAT concerned, the blood work was so bad month after month for over 2 years but finally NORMAL now...As much as I dont want to depend on the ensures, it looks like I have to drink them for life. I just cant eat enough food to stay healthy. ............IF I could have anything at all done it would be the thighs and calves, my calves are so bad.............but as I stated before, I look damn good in Jeans. :)

Thanks,

My Dad is doing well and my brother is just waiting for Medicaid approval.  I guess I wouldn't feel so bad, except my Dad has already nursed my mother through he long battle with Breast  Cancer and it really aged him.  Now with my brother living with him it just a real stressor.

Jeanne, you sure have had a lot going on. I hope your brother and father do well with their treatments.

Isn't it a blessing how much better we feel after our wls and losing so much excess baggage.

Hope things go well with you all .

Take care

Topic: Why I've been missing in action!

  Things have a way of happening.  Last month (August) my brother told me that his Lymphoma has reoccurred.  I went to Grand Rapids to see him through the  first session of 3 and to talk to the oncologist abeut the reoccurance.

Then my Dad (with whom this brother lives) decided that he would try to have a heart attack, so I had to go back to Grand Rapids to see him through his angioplasty and stent placement.  He's 89 so it's not unexpected.

My brother came for a consult at Karamanos last week and is a candidate for a stem cell rescue (auto bone marrow transplant).  So after we get his medicaid arrangements made he will be coming to Detroit for about 6 weeks.  So I need to get my condo in shape for visitors. 

Now all of this came in the midst of my Toastmaster Clubs Fall Contest season, and since I am a Division Governor I have to arrange for 2 contests myself and attend many others.

See what WLS does for you.  I don't know that I would be able to handle all of this at the weight I was.  I'd be exhausted, 

I guess my hernia surgery and TT, after I lose another 50 lbs is on hold for the duration.
