Welcome to Onderland!!!congrats!!!What a great feeling!! Paula

Kay, Thanks for your good wishes..... wishing you all the best as well. Great that your labs are great and you are doing great! B

Jennifer, thanks for posting this... it helps to know that I am not alone... and possibly there are others out there strugggling in the same way. I understand your buyers remorse. I, like you, have also ditched most of my comorbidities, but still wonder if I'll ever be able to get on my feet -- even worse it seems like my thinking is warped.... but already the iron is kicking in and I am getting so much better. Please don't flame me for this, but my doc recommeds Viactiv for us for calcium supplement ( I know this is carbonate and not citrate) but the upside is that it also contains Vitamin D and Vitamin K which I notice you are also low on -- and because it tastes like a caramel it get rid of my "gotta have a candy" blues. Just a suggestion. I guess everyone moves at their own rate --- my surgeons nurse also suggested that I may be one of those people that the doc has to watch to make sure I don't lose too much.... can't even wrap my mind around that one.... but maybe that's the silver lining in this cloud.... that I will eventually reach goal?! B

I'm really sorry your not feeling well. I've had my 3 month labs drawn but Due to the illness of my mother I haven't got to return to my Dr. for the results. But I feel good except when my husband and I make love the pressure of his body on my left side where my stomach is kills. But energy level is high and I feel great. Hope you start feeling better. Kay
