For those discouraged or fighting keep up the fight
I just love when you go to the surgeon's office when you step on the scale they are able to print out all of this information... I want to share this with you because if I can do it you can do it...
Now these are my numbers when I went in to have weight loss surgery:
Weight 277 lbs.
BMI 49.1
Pulse 76
Blood Pressure 130/74
I had to do some more hanging out at Vanderbilt this week. I don't feel good when I eat sometimes. They did a CT scan on Monday just to make sure there was no inner hernia that could possibly be up against the intestines. The CT scan came back perfect... YAY... So now I have to go back and start to re journal anything and everything I put in my mouth to eat or drink. It must be something that I am eating that possibly I could tolerate once and now am no longer able to.
Did my labs while I was hanging with my buddies at Vanderbilt. They came back super. I do have an issue with B 12 which we are gonna up my shots and I was low on Vitamin D and Iron for which is not uncommon is WLS patients. I have a prescription for both of these...
For those of you that are fighting, keep up the fight.... It is well worth it.....

Erika hun,
I want to tell you the same thing I told Rebecca...
Don't get discouraged hun... I know that is easy for people to say.. I have been right where you are right now and it was the most miserable agonizing time of my life.. (well it felt like that anyway)...
I used to look at the before and after photos on OH and I would cry because I felt I could never look like those after pictures.... But then again somehow they kept me motivated that I could make it happen. And, I stopped at nothing to make it happen....
You know Erika, if you are having difficulties with hunger and controling your eating during the 6 month diet, maybe you can talk to your PCP about giving you something just to help get you through this time. My PCP gave me something and it made all the difference in the world...
Keep going Erika, you can do this..... Trina

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I really think I am going to have to depend on you guys more than I ever thought I would.I guess that makes since so, since I finally have people to talk with *****ally know what I am feeling like. Most of my friends/family are NOT overweight, so a much as they try to enc me, they really don't have a clue. Thanks
Rebecca sweetie,
