I’ll be there the 11th-17th.

Anyone that see's you walk down the street would never believe you weighed 322. You look fantastic.

My 4 month follow-up was yesterday. I'm down just over 50 lbs and (according to the numbers) have lost 33% of my excess weight. It's a good feeling, especially when combined with wearing clothes that wouldn't fit at the beginning of the year. Fortunately, my dog keeps me active, even in the lock-down. I do miss going to the gym though, and I'd just gotten into a good workout groove when everything came to a grinding halt. The people I see at work keep telling me "you're melting away" and my wife is very encouraging as well, so I've got plenty of support thankfully, but I know I've still got work to do. The biggest goal I have right now is to get under 250. I'm only about 7 lbs away. That will be a big day for me. The only real struggle I have post-surgery is the uncomfortable "heaviness" feeling that comes when I eat beef or chicken. I'm told this is a normal thing and could last a while, so I'll continue to put up with it and/or avoid the steak and chicken breasts. Hope ya'll are all doing well.

Congratulations and welcome to the ride... along. The only advice I can think of (not that you asked 😂) is to let your husband pursue his goals, you pursue your (separate) goals and then find some goals in common to keep you connected. Good Luck ❤

I’m so sorry. I hope it opens soon. I’ve seen others who are getting their surgery this month.

Do you know what your trigger food is? I've been dealing with acid reflux for 30-some years and it took me most of them to figure out that too many CARBS triggers my reflux! Now that I'm aware of that, I eat way fewer carbs and definitely not within a couple of hours before bedtime. If I slip a little and feel the reflux starting, I take an Omeprezole, otherwise, I leave it in its bottle, and I'm down to a TUMS every once in a while instead of several times per day. Maybe if you try cutting back on certain things to see how it goes, you might be able to determine what your trigger is, too. I hope your reflux gets reduced/resolved soon.

Prayers for those of you who are waiting for your surgeries. My hopea are for everything to take place in it's time.

I would think the amount in the bariatric multivitamin wouldn’t be cause for elevated levels. Unless you have other concerning symptoms or your doctor expresses concern than likely you have nothing to worry about.

I had this once not sure how high my number was but redid blood work 2 months later and levels were back in normal range Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

We’ll likely miss each other since I’m flying out in the morning.
