Hi group...

Today I went to a batiatric surgeon...confirmation is always a blessing. I told her I was back on track as of the past two weeks and what I was doing to get to goals. I'm proud of myself. This takes determination so she said not to get discouraged for several weeks or even months. 

I quit smoking six months ago and with all the exercise I'm doing, im glad I did. She said my biggest hurt was no vitamins in 9 years. Oh dear...I started them today. 

Please offer some atta-girls, or what I can do to seriously kick this into high gear.

i need help.

Thanks

I also did not take any vitamins for at least 7 yrs post op.  At least we are now. :-) Congratulations on your journey back on track. 

Thank you soooooooo much for the reply. Yes, it's good to be back on track. I'm glad there are others who share this journey. I see we have about the same amount to lose...how can I encourage you????

Congratulation of reset and starting BOTT,,, it is a really hard work... 

I hope you are planning to get a very detailed blood work+ hopefully bone scan.. 

If you have not take any vitamins in 9 years.. ugh... I sure hope you did not cause serious damage to your bones or nerves... 

low energy can be caused by low proteins, low Vit D, low B1, B12, etc etc...  Low B12, B1 - can cause permanent nerve damage... and when that happen - it may be too late to reverse it...

Low iron - again - low energy, depression, RLS.. etc. 

Low B6- can cause severe problem in fat & protein metabolizing..too high...nerve damage...

and so on... 

Hi..

i do know that neuropathy has developed, along side of fibromyalgia. Being ten years out, I'm not so sure it can be reversed, but slowed and health forward. I want to regain a sense of self. I'm not so sure why I'm doing this other than the fact I deserve better than this. I owe it to myself to give it the best I have. I try not to look at the deficiencies of possibilities, because that alone is enough to throw anyone into a depression. I am going to try to get the scale moving, but I need to get my health into focus first. Thank you ever so much for your comments and concern.
