Topic: RE: Please help!Not loosing
Hi tosha. My name is Amy. I am going through much of the same. I am 3 yrs out in September and I am doing the same things. I have to buckle down and do this. I weighed 320 and now weigh 170 but in the last couple months I have gained about 15lbs. I was in a rehab for alcoholism and they served alot of carbs and fat due to the reason that alot of people come in malnourished so foods were a problem. I can also eat olot of things I shouldnt without dumping and sometimes I fell like I can eat more than I should. I am upset but coming back to this website has helped already. good luck I will pray for you! Love Amy By the way I have 35 lbs to go before I hit my original goal weight so pray for me too!
Topic: B12 and Iron problems
I have rocked along great now for 2 1/2 years, lost my 100 lbs and am holding where I want to be, but then I started getting tired and do I mean TIRED. Turns out I am low on B12 and Iron! I have started the B12 injections last week and that has really helped.
What I want to know is how others have managed these things. Do you take weekly injections? And how about the Iron? I have started supplements but I worry about the absorption issue. My doc (family) does not want to to the iron shots. I have upped my intake of iron rich foods but that causes the same question to come up. So anyway, What do you do for these?
I have not posted in ages but I still read from time to time and like to keep up with the names I have come to know. Hope you are all doing well--------

Pam,
That is great. Have you had PS yet? I am dying to have a TT but I can't afford it right now. After my TT, I should be at goal as I have a lot of excess tummy skin.

Topic: Stellar Report
Just wanted to report to all my September 04 buddies that I got a "stellar" report from my doctor yesterday. I had lost 18 lbs. of fat and gained 17 lbs. of muscle over the last 4 months!! DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!! I was amazed and THRILLED!! Although I am "officially" 7 lbs. from my docs goal, he said that I am at a GREAT place and he will not be upset if I just stay here!!! My body mass is 80% muscle and 20% fat which he said was "perfect"!! My metabolism is 129% so that is fabulous too!!! The doctor said "If I had a gold star I would give it to you!" Thanks to all of YOU on this message board who have been soooooo supportive in the last 2.5 years!!!
Hugs, Pam
Topic: RE: Question
Hi Katie,
Have you gotten any answers from therapy? I've considered it, but cannot really afford it... I have only gained and lost the same two lbs for about 3 months now, but I put on some pants the other day and had to take them back off because the waist was too tight!! That's the FIRST time that has happened and it scares the bejeepers out of me!!! Now granted, it could have just been "water", but I cannot take that chance. I also know that I am OBSESSED with eating and drinking and cannot seem to get a grip. PLEASE tell me what your therapist has said regarding this. Thanks.
Hugs to you!! Pam
Topic: RE: Two years and 177 lbs later
Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishment!!! It sure has been a time of fantastic changes these past two years!!
I'm glad you found the vitamins you like. I took pills for only a month, fairly early out, and realized immediately that my energy was dwindling! I went back to bariatric vitamins and voila, I felt better right away.
I love doing the one-stop-shopping thing at BariatricEating.com for vitamins, protein and of course delicious sugar free foods!!! Ya'll should check it out!
Topic: RE: Question
I have gained 15 in the past 7 months...2lbs a month and it just started creeping back up. My vices are sweets and alcohol.
I have cut the booze, and am struggling with the sweets...the key is not having them at the house and trying not the eat them at work...there's always so many goodies in a hospital..
Seriously though, my weight gain has put me in therapy...to see why I am sabotaging myself. I am so glad to see I am not alone.
Peace-KT
