LaRae, Wow, you are looking great! Feels good doesn't it? Keep up the good work! Diona

I just wanted to stop in and say hello and share some photos from my trip to Florida last week. My son and I spent 6 days at Walt Disney World. All I can say is thank God for WLS! This was the most physical trip I have ever experienced and I was able to handle the walking with no major problems. My son had a hard time keeping up with his Mama. My son pointed out the underarm sag while I was holding up my arm on the bus (wearing a tank top). "Mom you have old people skin!" When I put on my swimsuit...I looked at myself in a full-length mirror and roared. He proceeded to point out all of my squishy parts. I did have a slight case of heat stroke from sun exposure and lack of water. The Disney paramedics were mighty handsome...it's kinda hard to flirt when you're The first thing I did when I came home was jump on the scale... I didn't lose a pound. I was disappointed but realize that I have made major inroads with my physical health and stamina. I was on top of the world and am so excited about being able to make plans for the future. :cool http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/chauncine/Disney/Disney-MK1.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/chauncine/Disney/Disney-AK2.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/chauncine/Disney/Disney-AK5.jpg Miz Chauncine aka Tink

I just got back my labs and they were great. I was surprised. I take no iron suppliments and only eat about 35 gms protein a day of real food. I no longer take the protein shakes. I have heard that anemias can cause all the symptoms you mention, however, Call your doctor. See what he thinks. Other things (like thyroid insufficiencies) can cause those symptoms as well. Be on the safe side and let an expert diagnose you. Hope you feel better. sunny
