Off Track... Crap...
I had my surgery April 28, 2008. I have gotten off track in the last 2 months. How do I get back on track? I have stalled with my weight loss. I know I haven't been eating the right stuff, and my hair is falling out at alarming rates. Of course, I'm used to having thick hair, maybe that's why I'm freakin out.
I've heard that taking Zinc can help with the hair loss. I really stink at taking the vitamins I need to be taking. Anyone with any info on how to get back on track with my eating habits, exercising and which vitamins I should be taking, feel free to message me. Or you may write me @ [email protected]
Thanks,
Frankie
Girl, do I need to come slap some sense into you?!?!?! LOL
Read my lips, CALL THE NUTRITIONIST (Kelly) RIGHT NOW and then call Dr. Chae. Don't you have a 6 month checkup coming up? Don't even tell me that you're not going and that you're not having a blood panel done. By not taking your vitamins like you're supposed to you are messing with your LIFE. Losing your hair will the LEAST of your problems! Let me know if you need Dr. Chae's cell phone number.
Where the hell is your brown booklet from Kelly? That will tell you EXACTLY what you should be eating and what vitamins to take.
Don't make me come hunt you down!

I haven't been able to make it back down to see Dr. Chae. He did call back in August though. Told me to quit eating jerky lol, which I did. Honestly, I have no idea where my book is from Kelly. And I haven't been taking my vitamins at all. I've taken calcium and zinc and that's about it.
I've been going to school, working, taking care of my house, and not paying enough attention to myself. I don't have any idea when my 6 month visit should be. I told them that I would make it back down before my year was up. I didn't have insurance to pay for mine, I had to pay for mine out of my own pocket so I've been busted ass broke. I can't take the calcium from bariatric advantage, it makes me barf lol. They are nasty tasting. I really do need to get back on track. I know I have my book from Kelly here somewhere, but honestly, I couldn't tell you where. I'm going to see if doing the liquid diet will help me regain the upper hand. My resolve has been just aweful. I need to put my foot down about what kind of food comes into this house. I do try to get plenty of protein every day though, I do have to say that. For some reason, I can still eat and drink, just not very much if ya know what I mean. I wonder if I get my head out of my butt if I can still turn things around before I ruin everything and have to have a revision surgery. Crapola...
Hey Jana, thanks for waking me up, now I will have to take some time to find my ... What did Kelly call that book... There's a name for it... Frick!! You know, the brown book.
Thanks a load,
Hugs,
Frankie

Please, please, please call Kelly! You don't have to take Bariatric Advantage vitamins, there are a TON of other choices out there. Lots of people take vitamins they get from Walgreens...but you have to know which ones. You need a good mulitvitamin, B1, B12, IRON...I'm surprised you have energy to get out of bed. When my B12 or Iron is low, I'm shot.
Kelly is in the office with Dr. Chae on Thursdays and Fridays. CALL HER TODAY - or I'll nark on you, I will! You need to have the blood panels done, hon. This is the only way they can know where your body is at and how much damage has happened.
You went through a lot to get this surgery. Remember, you're going to be paying the finance company for this surgery for a long time. You really want to screw this up? You are on a dangerous road - you had the surgery, you're not doing what it takes to keep yourself healthy with the vitamins, etc., you owe a boatload of money for the surgery and what if your health fails? Then you can't work, can't go to school and you're sick as hell and in some cases, fighting for your life. Not good.
Call that office TODAY!

Jana,
I e-mailed Susie @ Dr. Chaes last night and I think we are going to make an appointment for December. She hasn't gotten back to me, but I'm sure she will.
I have had some B-12 shots since the surgery, and I really do feel fine for the most part. I am mostly struggling with eating crap like crackers and chips. When I get the urge for sweets, I usually get some breathsavers which aren't to bad, they are supposed to be sugar free, but you know how that goes, there's probably sugar in them somewhere.
What do you think about keeping a food intake diary/vitamin diary until I meet with Dr. Chae? Let me know.
I have to get my buns to class, before my a** is grass lol.
Hugs,
Frankie
