Hi Michelle, I am so impressed with your weight loss. I just decided to check out this forum for Sep 06 surgeries, as mine was performed on 9/29/06. I have lost about 50 pounds. It is so hard not to compare ourselves to others, but may I ask if you "dieted"? I have eaten mostly good foods, 85 % of the time I made good choices. I haven't been to the gym, but I walk a LOT and I try to get my water in daily. How did you lose so much so quickly? I am so impressed and hope to hear back from you. Thanks, Patti

Topic: Does anyone else have low blood pressure?

Since the surgery I have had low blood pressure. And now I'm getting light headed every time I get up. I'm taking my vitamins every day and my diet is really good. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

That is so awesome! Congratulations!!! I am at 92 pounds! My 7 year old keeps telling me "only 8 more pounds and it will 100". I am so excited! Good luck with everything!

Topic: Finally!

Today I made it to the Century Club!!!!! I have lost 101 lbs since starting this journey. Only 9 more lbs till my doctors goal. If anyone out there can make me a card or tell me where I can find one I would be very grateful. The last month has been tough with a long stall and finally I made it to this point. Everyday I keep in mind how far I have come My reward is now being a size 12 jeans and a L/M **** size. I am very proud of myself for that. Thank you to all who have helped me along the way. ~Michelle

Topic: RE: Iron

My Dr. told me to make sure Iron and Calcium were at least 2 hours apart....they "compete" for absorption. I usually take my iron (from Bariatric Advantage) at night, right before bed with a multi vitamin and a few sips of water....I don't seem to have any after taste.
