How is everyone doing??

I'm doing well. I hope everyone else is doing well also. Where is everyone at? C'mon August Sleevers!!!!

Greetings all....I went on vacation for 10 days and managed to lose about 5 pounds.  Need to update the old ticker!!!  Love my sleeve, but sometimes miss not being able to eat more....like Caribbean lobster....it was so yummy (and expensive) and I could only eat less than a quarter of it....Doc said I could have a drinky or two, so I did....but wowser, it hit me like a rock....did a lot of snorkeling and hiking....things I never would have done pre-sleeve.....

Hope everyone is doing well!!! 

that's awesome. A 10 day vacation would sound really good for me right now LOL. Good you're doing well 

I'm happy to hear y'all are doing well.  I'm not there yet, been having the hardest time complication after complication.

Still not where I need to be with Protein, water and vitamins.  Then found out I have really low  iron  and vitamin D  levels.

It's been crazy for me I currently have to take daily  2-multi-vitamins, 1 b-12, 1-vitamin c,  3- calcium 3 iron and 1- high unit vitamin d three times a week.  Plus 1-ppi, 1- lasix and pain killer and Zofrane as needed. 

I still have trouble with food.  My surgeon is worried and set up a test, but had to cancel due to blizzard.

I know it sounds like I'm complaining, but that's not what I'm intending.  Just telling it like it is for me right now.

I'm happy that I did this plus I've lost 75lbs so far.   I'm just going to have a harder journey than some and maybe easier than others.  I believe it's going to be all worth it once I get to goal.

I'm happy to see some activity on our group.                      Jenn D. 

Jenn:

How are you doing?  Did you get the tests done that the doc ordered?  Does he think you have a hernia?  Let us know.  Hope you're feeling better....

How's everyone else?  Did y'all fair well during the holidays?  I certainly wasn't as diligent and didn't lose a thing over the last two weeks.  I'm OK with that since I've never really hit a plateau.  

Let's hear from everyone!!!

Lenita

I have the test Jan,15      He wants to make sure that he didn't make the sleeve to narrow or there's no stricture.                      

   As for the Holidays I did fine but we celebrate quite different than most so there wasn't a lot of temptation to begin with.             I don't know if I lost anything or not haven't weighed yet.  Going to tonight or Tuesday so well see.                                                                                                                                                                     

Well it was nice hearing from you and thank you for the concern.  I'll let you know the results when I hear back.
