Topic: RE: Little losses
I'm stuck...no loss here! I haven't really been actively "trying" to lose either, so that likely explains it. Well, at least not consistently. I fluctuate around 179-183. I need to get the last 20 off, but it's so danged hard to get my body to budge these days!! I am hoping it's just taking a rest for a bit and that when I get myself in gear, I'll get the scales moving again.

Nope, I'm here. I'm doing the flip flop thing with 3 lbs. from week to week. Which may mean I'm stable (so to speak), or that in another month or two I will have dropped a few lbs. Hard to say. LOL.
Topic: Little losses
Well this far out I have to be thankful for the little losses and celebrate. It's getting harder. I lost .5 of a pound this last month, but I'll take it.
PS where has everyone gone? Have we all moved to the graduates board?

WOW! yes, I said WOW 
what a great accomplishment you have made. I can understand the worry but, you should not feel guilty for doing such a positive thing for your overall health. I have and go through worry over regaining the weight. I think it is the way of eating we have had in the past. We also have to restructure our way of thinking along with the new way of eating. I struggle with snacking and my greatness weakness is crackers. But, I am working on that. Take things one day at a time and I agree this site is a wonderful source of comfort with others that truly understand what we face on a daily basis.
Best to you, Karen

Wow Cindy. You have done fantastic but with all the fast weight loss your mind had not kept up.
You need support. Try to come online when possible. Also try and go to local support groups. My surgery center has one once a month and I try and go when ever I can.
The support will help you deal with body image. You will be with a bunch of people going through the very same thing. All of our bodies aren't perfect but we are healthier. Perfect is unreachable, that's why Photoshop was invented. 
Focus on what you have achieved in one short year.
Money issues well those are always here and now more than ever everyone is feeling the pinch. You did borrow for this surgery to be healthier and that worked. Just do what you can every month to put a little bit back into the account.
You need to step away from the guilt because that will hamper your health.
Don't look back.

Topic: RE: One year check up
I was low on iron. It doesn't bother my stomach. I noticed I'm not as cold as I was before taking the iron either. (this was before summer started too)
I did have an issue this weekend but I think that was relate more to too much cheese than anything else. I'm back to my maintence plan of water, fiber and fruit. No cheese for a while. 
Topic: RE: One year check up
Excellent Heidi! Were you anemic and that is why you started taking the BA iron? Does it upset your stomach or back you up?
