Stand tall!!!

Hey all you happy losers!! I want to share w/you an interesting experience on my weight loss journey (MINUS 192 LBS!) As I have lost weight I have seemed to lost my balance and had some near falls. I shared this with a nurse friend. She gave me something to think about. THE CENTER OF BALANCE HAS CHANGED DUE TO A CHANGE IN POSTURE!!! HUM? I AM STANDING STRAIGHTER. My belly is not under my boobs anymore , it has now droppped (uh oh) lower. I have become more conscious and able to try to stand taller and keep my legs and knees straighter (less fat between them) and all this has improved. And for pre-op friends--- I had a minor spell with menopause after my surgery (hot flashes and tingling up my back) due to hormone changes. This was short lived an a minor thing to endure. I had not had that problem 2 years during menopause. Everyone is different. Please let me know how many of you from other DR.s ( beside Whitehead) are on B 12 vitamin shots. I got a weird response when I called Jackson. Oh well-- the teacher in me wants a informal survey. WILL YOU REPLY? [email protected]

Why cant us Dr. Whitehead patients answer?? I'll tell ya why---I havent started my B12 shots yet---I will start after my next visit in Jan. How are you doing???

Christine--Hey doll!! No offense intended. At the seminar in H'burg Dr. Whitehead said to me that "all my patients get B12", so shrinking me assumed..... but you know the work assume can make an............... of me. HE GOT MY ATTENTION IN A BIG WAY ON SUPPLEMENTS AND THE RISKS FARTER DOWN THE ROAD.

OOPS!!! THAT WORD SHOULD BE "FARTHER" MEANING DISTANCE ... NOT A BAD SMELL. That's what I get for not proofing better.

I know--I was just messing with you... How are you doing???

Congratulations on your weight loss!!! I can't wait for my surgery so i can start losing.....I have been taking vitamin B-12 shots for almost a year....In the beginning, my levels were so low that i had to take one every day for 5 days straight....now, only one per month.....They really make me feel good for a few days afterward, but they wear off fast.....Dr. Salemeh, my surgeron, said that i would have to continue taking them after surgery too.....Well, keep up the good work!!!

Hi Glenda, congrats on your excellent loss! Wow! I'm merely down 100 but I am aiming towards another 100 I'm not getting B-12 shots, I take daily sublingual B-12 as well as two chewable Centrums a day and my energy level is excellent. I hear the B-12 shots aren't fun. Maybe find out if the B-12 sublings are an option? I get mine at vitalady.com, they're tiny little tabs and they taste pleasant, so they're easy to deal with Have a great weekend and happy holidays !! ~~ Andie ~~ (334) 305/233/140
