Topic: 6/2/11 Weigh-In
It is that time of the week again. Argh!
I gained 1/2 lbs this week, not happy at all. I've started taking a whole lot of vitamins and noticed that I seem to always be hungery, and no matter what I eat, it doesn't satisfy me. I can't explain it, but it is driving me crazy.
I now take my prenatal vitamin (multi-vitamin with high folic acid content), B12 Sublingual (which directions say to take daily), Vitamin D (4000 UI) and my fish oil (1000g).
Are any of those vitamins, ones that would cause you to be hungry all the time?

I'll be at PB on 6/1 but not at night-I'm meeting with the surgeon, Dr. Rumsey. The info meeting is nothing we don't know but I felt like most of the people there had no clue. Talk to you soon.

Hi Deb-
So nice to hear you are on the site now. It is a struggle. We are all in various stages in the process. I will meet with the surgeon tomorrow and will be happy to share any info I get. Teh appointments happen very quickly once you get going-one stage per week for me. Talk to you soon.

I went to the premier protein website this weekend too and saw that they finally released the strawberry flavor!! WOOHOOO....I was getting tired of chocolate, and funnily enough, I'm not too keen on vanilla. I hope in the future they will release a banana flavor too, then I would be in heaven!
I've already attended the PB information seminiar, and I think you'll find that there isn't much that is covered that you didn't already know. But of course, it's still a requirement that you have to go. Hopefully Dr. Tanaka will host it, cause he's kinda funny, in a dry sense of humor way.
I'll be meeting with my surgeon on Thursday (June 2nd), and have my schedule for all three consultations (clinician, surgeon and psychiatrist). Fingers crossed that all goes well and I'll have a surgery date very soon!

Topic: Weight since class ended
I too have struggled with staying on an eating plan. I have been up and down the same2-3 lbs for about 6 weeks. I met with Dr Ray the other day and got my clearance to do the fitness and whatever other tests I will need. Has anyone from class had their appt with the surgeon? I found out have some health problems i wasn't aware of and now I will be getting one of those darn CPAC machines, but consideing the damage to your heart that can be happenig from not sleeping and getting enough oxygen I am glad to do it. Fortunately Dr Ray thinks most of my problems will be lessen with the weight loss.
Anyway just thought I'd check in, Oh I weighted 322 which is up 2 lbs from last class but up 10 lbs from the lowest I got while in class. Very dissapointing. Deb
