3 month update...

Hi All.. My 3 month update appointment was yesterday, the bloodwork was OK, low iron, low calcium, seems the vitamins aren't working that great, will have to change something..  I am tired because i am anemic but just a bit.    I had lost 34 before surgery, most of it in the liquid diet, and have lost 47 since, for a total of 81..  I am in a stall now, but he says for a sleeve I am doing great.  That is 40 percent of my excess weight in a little over 3 months..  I am a slow loser so i didn't know if I was doing ok or not, but I am doing the best i can.  There are days when i let the carbs creep up too high but i am trying to not do that, it is not all the time.    I have also lost 50 1/2 inches and have gone from a size 32 pants and shirt to a 22/24.  Amazing, i can't wait to see what the next 50 brings :)  I am SOOO happy i did this and SO grateful to all of you who have supported me.    So many things have changed, i can sit in any booth i want now and not worry if i will fit.. i can be so much more active than i ever thought i would be again, I can fit in any car i want without my stomach resting on the steering wheel.. :) Blessings Cindy

Hi Cindy.  Wow!  It sounds like you're doing great with your weight loss.  Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm on the loser bench.  I can't wait.   Congratulations Girl!  Give yourself a ((((BIG HUG)))) and a pat on the back, you deserve it.     (((Hugs)))  Angy

sounds like you need to add an extra iron pill and you do know that you cant take your calcium within two hours of your iron or the calcium doesnt work well?  Did your doctor put you on more or diferent or what?  you are doing great with the weight loss. take care that you dont get more anemic as you can get really sick with that ok? Are you doing protein drinks?  So happy for you that you are doing so well keep up the good work.  Sometimes when you stall it is because your body is taking a time out to adjust. how long have you been stalled? after about two weeks if you dont pick up again, Up your protein drinks, up your water and up your exercise you will start up losing agin. Use the Tool that was given to you. Good LUCK.

WOOOO HOOO...Girlfriend I am so tickled for you!!! You are doing great!!! Aren't those wow moments FANTASTIC!!!  Hope to talk to ya soon....Keep up the good work! Luv & Hugs...Tammy~ammy
