Topic: RE: WEEKLY WEIGH IN!

Highest: 290 Surgery: 265 Last week: 194 This week: 192 Total Loss: 98 pounds Since Surgery: 73 pounds Stayed the same, but that's better than the alternative. It seems like a pattern has developed where I lose a couple of pounds - stay the same for a couple of weeks, then lose a couple of pounds again. It's still going in the right direction.

Topic: RE: H i ,It's been a while...

I'm sorry you are struggling Donna. Try and come to the boards more often. It helps me stay focused knowing others out there are working through the same issues. All is not lost. We all stumble. One day at a time

Topic: H i ,It's been a while...

Hi everyone, I haven,t posted or even checked the site in about 2 months or so. I am so embarrased about my self disipline with food.I couldn't even get my self to check the site because I felt reading about everyone's successes would make me feel like more of a failure.I have actually put about 7lbs back on.It's amazing how those 7lbs feel like a ton! So I 'm trying to convince myself to quit my own pity party and ask for help and advice. I am very proud of all you successes out there.I think we've all come to realize the journey we've taken has helped us and soo many, but the bad choices that got us here in the first place will always be alternative if we let it. Anyway,I'm sorry about my whining ,I just figured if any one could understand where mentally I'm at in this stage of the game,it may be on of you. Thanks for listening. Donna

Topic: RE: HELP!! LOW LOW Vitamin D!!

Vitamin D can be toxic in large doses-- but you have to remember we have malabsorption issues-- and yours is obviously greater than most here, so a larger amount is probably okay. Ask your nutritionist. I take a little extra D every day in my multi and with my Citrate, but add in dry D too, for good measure (as well as Dry A and E). -S.

Topic: HELP!! LOW LOW Vitamin D!!

Help! I had my blood work done a few weeks ago and doc called me and said my Vitamin D is below 4! It should be 80-100. Told me to take at least 1200 IU per day and have it checked again in a month. Some of the people at my support group told me to get dry vitamin D from Bariatric Advantage so I ordered it and it says 5000 IU but while reading online it says not to take more then 2000 IU a day?? Now what? Do I take this capsule whole? or open it and pour it on something and take the powder?? Also my weight loss has stopped big time! I have lost 120 pounds but have another 30 some to go and getting frustrated that the scale isnt moving! It's been weeks since a loss. Any advice would be appreciated! Cathy

Hope all of you are doing well!
