Hello....anyone out there? ? ? ??? ? ? ?

Rhonda,
Last night made me realize just how thankful I was for my weight loss. I was at a Bat Mitzvah party. I, and 2 friends of mine, danced all night long. We were dancing with all the kids and kept up with them for the entire evening. they actually rallied around us and had a great ime with us. I have never danced before weight loss, always being way too big. And here I was, dancing, for 3 hours straight. When it was over a bunch of our "groupies" came up to me and said."you are a great dancer and we had so much fun with you." WOW!! Did tht make me feel absolutely fantastic.
It's timeds like this that put everything into perspective for us. Have a good week

Just got home late on monday from a 96 hour str8 shift with working and was great to be working but also dealing with a jealious hubby and I am so sick and tired of his insecurties. He also works as a emt also like me but also has his Real job  as aerospace enginner. But we were so busy at work they also called him into work.Was not my idea. I work with alot of men and also work with john  Q public and We were covering a Phish festival music concert which has alot of OD of drugs etc and we had people collapsing from drug over doses all over the places and we were staging   I was pulled to staging to main event with justin a co worker and  justin was joking with me  becasue men  were hitting on me right and left  and  he was saying I am a freak magnet. I guess I look gorgeious to men under the influnces of drugs  I replied LOL Well meanwhile my hubby was was upset as I was ingnoring his text messages as he was stuck at first aid station alone and I had my phone in my jacket and I was wearing headphones so i could hear dispatch threw the music and we had a huge fight and I told him look I take my job serious and when I work I am  working and I WAS NOT IGNORING YOU I was watching the crowd for People collapsing The night before we hauled out 13 overdoses out of the concert area. I  feel no matter how hard I try to better myself he is there accousing me of flirting or ignoring and I take my work serious and he is pist at me right now as I am not studying  for my  paramedic entrance exam and I JUST LOST MY DRIVE AND I think it was how he behaved and I have worked so hard to really get my self esteem back come on how many of your really felt sexy being morbid obese? or good about your self ? I was this shy interverted person that let people walk all over me and now i have confidence in my self and he cannot accept it and I THIS IS KILLING MY MARRIAGE THE WAY HE IS BEHAVING AND I feel like why bother trying to stay in work force he rather keep me in a pumkin shell. I am so frustrated and I TRY TALKING TO HIM  but all we do is fight and I am just pist with him always competing with me and he has a hard time with me being sucessful. I some times think he wish i was heavy and not thin.I mean come on who wants a woman that is fluffy ?  He now think I am self absorb and maybe I am but hell i worked hard to get where I am. I guess part of me is afraid to become a paramedic because i surely will leave this man.. I am frustated and mad. I am afraid to tell him my hopes or dreams as he will use them againist me.. I am a extreme perfectionist  and tell 2 1/2 years ago i did not have a handle on obesity . My head is not in right place .  Anyone have advice? marriage councelor  was not helpful OK done venting..

Hey Shar,

I am really needing to get back on the ball and stay in touch - go to support groups etc.  I am down to 180 lbs... Recently had another stint in the hospital with an ulcer, fluid around the heart etc.  I am having problems with anemia big time.  Has anyone else here been having issues with anemia?  Ever since giving birth in April, I have discovered that I am anemic, gluten intolerant and I have developed astigmatism in one of my eyes.  I am falling apart it seems? Is this gastric bypass or the product of becoming a mother?  I wonder.

Susan,
I have been anemic my whole life. Since surgery my levels have improved, Probably because I am diligent about my vitamins, iron and B12. Are you taking yours?
I think we have to be so careful of our supplements and slip on them.
