Topic: RE: Discouraged again....
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the support... a week later, still no loss - but my clothes are fitting better.
I tried switching it up at the gym, taking different classes - adding a mile onto my usual two mile walk.
Physically, I feel great. I can do more, I have energy, I can climb six flights of stairs without stopping... I'm just nervous that the weight loss has totally stopped and i still would qualify for surgery today!
I am low in B-12 and Vitamin D, but have been taking supplements regularly.
I'm going to try to give up coffee (the only calories I drink) and see if that helps any.. wth such limited foods and intake, its harder to figure out how to make a change. I can't give up chips, candy, ice cream, etc because i can't eat them anyways!
I'm trying to eat more protein (adding in a can of tuna a day) and will hope for the best.
Honestly, even if i never lose another pound, I would still have had the surgery and am grateful for it - but is it so wrong to still want more? (or even just some assurance that the weight will continue to decrease)
I want to be able to buy something that isn't lotion or perfurme from Victoria Secret!
Topic: How's everyone doing??
I don't get to get on here much, but I wanted to check in and see how all my September Brothers & Sisters are doing.. It so doesn't feel like it's been 8mths since my surgery... I'm down from 255lbs, to 153.5... I've only got 18.5 till I'm at goal... Wearing a size 10 pants, down from a 24 & I can fit into Medium shirts.. Woohoo... I make it to the gym 4-5 days a week, which I just really got good about doing the last 2 mths or so.. Before work was just super crazy with too much overtime.. Hope to see that everyone else is doing great as well..
Topic: RE: Vitamin B12
I rec'd a shot.
Since then on my own I bought some subliminals. I get retested in another month or so. We'll see what happens then. May need shots more regularly. This is a common problem so I'm not all that worried. Everything else was great!
Topic: RE: vitamins
Same thing. I rec'd a shot & since then I've been taking subliminals. It's a very common problem. Can make you t-i-r-e-d.
My levels will be checked in another month or so. Not much else to be done really. Everything else is good though!

HI, How much Vitamin A did he have you take? I am hoping mine is going to be okay at my next testing.

Topic: RE: vitamins
I have been taking vitamin A since my three month visit. I am to discontinue once my supply runs out. For now I have to take vitamin D, and he has had me start taking an additional iron and an additional vitamin C.

Topic: RE: Discouraged again....
Hey, I've lost appx. 55 lbs. Slow loser. So what? I've also had stoppages. I picked up with the water, increased my food intake, & increased the exercise.
No easy time here. I still have to be vigilant, I just don't have the constant hunger (usually).
You could also consider trying a nutritionist or work out an exercise program that suits you with a trainer.
I figure that it's a heckuva lot more than I would have lost previously. It's also easier on my skin!
Were your vitamin levels checked then? Lower levels could also cause the problem.
Good luck!
