Topic: RE: Getting ready for our first birthday!
I've never been and I have to admit that I'm not much of a mall person. I worked retail for 10 years and that kind of took all the interest out of me! But I'm hoping they have their Christmas decorations up. (This will be the first time I don't complain about early decorations!) I figure I'll spend my time trying on clothes to identify brands and cuts that I like so I can order them later online. There isn't much selection in Sioux City, IA so this is my reconnaissance plan. I just hope I am not too overwhelmed.
Have a great one year anniversary,
Sally

Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I'm a little slow in responding, been on bedrest for my back so I can go swim at the gym this week.

Topic: My Special Wow Moments
Just a few wow moments I thought I'd share.
Went to the Dr yesterday, for vertigo followup, and during my weigh in I weighed in at 260. That means 151 lbs lost in just under 1 yr.
Then today, I went to get my lay away out of walmart from a few months ago, when I put size 18w pants on, and they did not fit, but I knew they would, and I tried it on when I got home, and they fit, closed, and did not even fit tightly. I was SOOOO excited. Also, a leather jacket that I got when I was 17 fit me comfortably. too bad the leather is beat to death. but hey, it FIT.
Well, just wanted to share. Have a wonderful samhain.

Topic: RE: Vitamin question
Hi Amanada,
Here is what I take and though it may seem like a lot I only take them once in the AM and then once in the PM and I feel great so I don't mess with it. My labs were good @ 6 months too. The inconvenience is worth it for me. But it sounds like you spread out the times you take yours so maybe consolidating that part would make it easier.
Total per day..
1 B sublingul
1 B Complex
4 dry A/D's (Twin Labs)
4 dry D's (Twin labs
2 Calium (Citrical)
2 Multi vitamins
2 Biotin (added this myself after the hair loss started)
2 Omega 3's (Orange creamsicle flavored are the BEST!)
I love cinnamon sticks so I use them as a snack food so there is no need for the meds.
Good luck you have done so well so far! Can you believe it? It will be our one year anniversary so soon. THi sure has been one great year.

I'm going to celebrate with my family. They have put up with a turmoulous 1st year, and we will be happy when the health rollercoaster is finished.
I am wanting to go to red lobster for a couple of crab legs. Oh, and probably buy a new outfit (even though it won't last more than a few months).
6 days to surgaversary

Oh, yeah, I'm going away weekend of the 3rd - 5th for a big festival on Orcas Island, so I guess that is one way I'll be celebrating, even if it is a couple of days past my official 1 year mark
Topic: RE: how many calories
I'm probably doing about 700-800 average. only half sandwiches on whole grain bread (dark wheat). I'm also only eating maybe 2 or 3 meals a day. I can't get to eat more until my accomindation is approved at work. So, I do get sick and light headed, dizzy. I would want to think more like 1000- 1200 would be about right for 1 yr out.
Bright Blessings

I got rid of the Potassium, Cranberry, Cinnamon, B complex, and the B6. What a difference, my entire day doesn't revolve around vitamins. lol
