Hi Janice!
 
Please further explain your passion.
I know this may be hard to do but what is your favorite Jill Scott song? 

Hi Faith..........

I was reared to live my life to serve others, and that all my needs will be provided in abundance for my service.  So to that end, I believe everything in life revolves around finding an opportunity to give to others throughout my day.  In that giving process leadership is often a requirement as well.

My favorite Jill Scott song by far is "Crown Royal"...with "Good Morning Heartache" with Chris Botti.

 @ I was reared to live my life to serve others, and that all my needs will be provided in abundance for my service.  So to that end, I believe everything in life revolves around finding an opportunity to give to others throughout my day.  Thank you for making a difference.

Thanks Faith..........

Thanks again Janice!

How is dating at 160lbs vs 290lbs?
How is maintenance mode for you?
Any rough patches during your journey?
When was your last labs?
Any deficiencies?
What's your vitamin regimen?
What did you do for your surgiversary?

How is dating at 160lbs vs 290lbs?
Vastly improved!  For me, it's a "re-visit" to my former life.  For the 1st 30 years, I was slim and average.  Then marriage, baby, divorce, stress, menopuase...yada..yada...added on the pounds.  The next 20 years were spent as a plus size and dates were a whole lot less frequent or fulfilling.  Now....oh baby!  Being average again has opened up a whole other pool of men who wouldn't glance at me at 290.
How is maintenance mode for you?
Maintenance is good.  I embraced this entire process full-on and have stuck with it thus far.  My portions remain small, and I still keep up with my protein daily.  i had always enjoyed fitness and exercise, so that comes easy.  I was an emotional eater, but eating now is uneventful, and i do it to live now.  Not so much for enjoyment.
Any rough patches during your journey?
The hair loss has been devasting.  I struggle with that more than anything.
When was your last labs?
Labs were on 08.18.10 and all was well and normal.  I've had subsequent labs also dealing with problems and pains unrelated to the wls due to an earlier injury.
Any deficiencies?
I had an excess of B12
What's your vitamin regimen?
Multi-vits - vitamin D - Calcium Citrate - Biotin
What did you do for your surgiversary?
Worked, and had a great workout!.....I'm so boring!...
