SOMEONE GIVE ME A PUSH!

hi all! still feeling good, aside from the usual tiredness, but i need a push! i'm not complaining because i have lost 6 lbs in 9 days, but then i stopped at 164. BUT...163 will put me in the "overweight" BMI category! one darn lb and the scale is just teasing me! oh well, i am used to losing 2 lbs a week, so my body is probably recouping from my "big" loss last week. hopefully the whooshie fairy makes a pit stop at my house and push me into the land of "overweight"! oh yeah, my 6 month goal is to weigh 150, which hopefully i will be able to do by december 1st. but my next goal is to be able to weigh on the doctor scale and have the bottom bar on the "100". i'm not going to see my pcp til i can! hope all my junebug friends are doing well! hugs~mary jo

OH maryjo...I much rather give you a hug then a PUSH! SO here goes ((((BIG HUG)))), who knows maybe ill squeeze that weight out of ya hehehe Well glad your doing well and looseing well! KEEP up the great work. So there is no idea why your tired alot, have u mentioned this to your surgeon and had your bloods done? I know i personally have trouble sleeping, i seemingly dont need as much as I used to get and seem to wake at 3 or 4 am each day (sucks) Well great to hear from you LISA 310/223/310

thank you sweetie! (((((LISA))))) i hope you squeexed that lb outta me! who knows, i missed breakfast today and then i got a few slices of ham for lunch out of our cafeteria today, but they were SPOILED! so i have not had anything today, except for water. i could go all day without eating, but i do normally eat 2-3 meals a day because i know i have to give my body something! maybe today will do the trick and tomorrow i will be in the overweight category...i hope. i had my bloodwork done last month when i had my appt and i didn't hear anything, so i assume it was all ok. oh well, small pirce to pay i guess! i hope all is well with you, my friend! hugs~mary jo

Mary Jo Do you take Vitamin B1 and B12, If your body is not absorbing enough, then you may want to ask your doctor for a shot. I know when I get the shot instead of the vitamin pills I feel better really quick. I am sure you will make your goal just continue to believe in yourself, hang in there, Tamey

i take trinsicon, which my doc said is an iron and b-12 supplement. but i don't take anything else, besides my multi-vitamin. i have thought about getting the sublinguals to see if those help at all. thanks for the advice and the encouragement! hugssss

Hi Mary Jo First of all, you're doing great!! Secondly, if you really want a push, get a B-12 shot and then supplement witht he sublinguals weekly. You really will feel the difference. Lastly, don't forget how much our weight can fluctuate from week to week depending on where we are in our cycles. Oh, one more thing - I'm very proud of you! My 3 mos goal is to be under 250......I'm getting close.......and 6 mos goal to be under 200 - guess I'll have to start working out and geting my protein in, LOL!! Take care Sharyn

thanks sharyn! i asked my doc about b12 injections before and he said he only would use them in an extreme case, if my labs came back bad i guess. so i suppose i could try the sublinguals. you are such a sweetie, thank you! you are doing wonderful also, i am sure you will reach your 3 month goal! and hey, you never know, you might reach that 6 month goal after all! luck and hugs! mary jo

Mary Jo, Just my two cents, but someone mentioned doing the sublingual B-12 weekly. I do mine daily. You may want to speak w/your doc on that. Best of Luck! Although it sounds as though you don't need it. You are doing GREAT! Be proud! Laura

thank you laura! as of this morning, i am down to 162 and now just "overweight"! only 26 lbs away from "normal"! i think i am going to stop tomorrow and pick up the sublinguals. maybe i will start off weekly and see first if that helps. but i think i will call the dr's office tomorrow as you suggested and see what they say. i hope your journey is going well! hugs~mary jo
