No change this morning. Still 175. Being depressed ain't helping!! Lol
Hoping for a better week this week.

I'd like to join too. Haven't been here for a while and need a kick start.

Thanks for the info summer rain and proudgrammy. I guess I will have to add my two cents more often! And I love me some fage and blueberries, Proudgrammy.

I was wondering if anyone is having issues with being cold and tired all the time? I am 15 months post op and am cold all the time. Also I am tired all the time even after going to the gym. Wondering if it may be a thyroid thing cause my weight has not budged in months. Anyone else have these issues?

Haha, CGJ, I'm hawt and cold too! I got thick wool socks for Christmas, a cashmere robe, silk long johns, and gloves with cashmere lining. I layer it up with a tank, long sleeved shirt and sweater. It's really got to be in the 80s before I'm comfortable in short sleeves. However, late at night, I warm up and sleep with just the sheet, the heater turned off and the window cracked.
Not sure about why you are tired. I have more energy than I did pre-op, probably because I'm not lugging around more than 100 extra pounds everywhere I go. I agree with others that it may be thyroid. Another few things to consider are an excessive amount of carbs or not enough fluids or Vitamins.

Hey Georgia we may no longer be HOT all the time but we are HAWT...HAHA

As a Vet, (hint hint I am ALWAYS cold also!!! I was always an extremely hot natured person prior to WLS (or at least I thought so!) I am not so much tired, although I can tell a HUGE difference when I allow myself to eat more "junk" and not cleanly.

I am prone to getting cold now. I keep my house warmer and my kiddo came home for spring break and complained heartily so I am wearing sweaters this week! I also learn from my skinny friends - don't be afraid of long underwear, layers etc. I think this is pretty normal.
Tired all the time... I would check two things, no 3 things first. #1 hydration - are you getting plenty of Water everyday? #2 adequate sleep and #3 nutrition and supplements - Vitamin B family deficiencies can happen with the sleeve for example and make you feel really tired. I do the drops under the tongue a couple of times a week.
If all that checks out - you should be evaluated. I have so much energy these days it should be bottled and sold so I don't think it is due to losing weight...

I have thyroid, and this could be the cause of your symptoms, it could also have something to do with anemia, Vitamin defficency or low blood pressure. You may want to schedule an appointment with your dr and have them do a CBC and a chemistry panel. It is in your best interest, your body will thank you.

I'm always fuh-reeeeee-zing. Tired? Only because I have to get up at 5am to get the kiddos to school on time and usually don't find my pillow until after 10 at night.

Cold. ALWAYS.

HI!
I am from NEPA (Hazleton) and just had my 8 mo. follow-up. I am pleased to say I lost a total of 103 lbs. And my blood work was good, also. i am thrilled. I had my surgery at Lehigh Valley Hospital in December. Great experience there.

hi everyone
i guess i'm here to just vent a little bit. i am a little sad and depressed lately cause i am at a major stall for the past two months. i have tried a little of everything to try to break it but my body just dosent want to budge. i am 10 months out and 96 lbs down witch is really great but i so desperately want to hit that 100 lb loss. there are many mornings that i really just want to turn over and not go to the gym but i mostly push myself out of bed and when i'm done i'm glad i did. has anyone had this happen. i have to say that i haven't been this weight since high school so i guess my body is rebelling!! oh well this too shall end. sooner or later.
thanks for listening!

Just wanted to see if anyone else has or had the same feelings.
I am 5 monthe post op and am thrilled to be down 79 lbs. already. I went shoppinf this weekend for some new cloths to get me thru the next couple of months cause everything is too big. I bought a size 14!! (from a 24/26) Everything looked great...until I took off the cloths and saw what a mess my body is! I know this was going to happen and I accepted it in my mind but every time I see it I get depressed.
Hopefully in a year or so I will be able to have surgery to help get rid of some of the skin.
Anyone else ever feel this way? If so how did you get through it?
Thanks for letting me vent.

today is the one year anniversary of my joining this site..i have to say that i am so grateful that i found it. i started to read all of the great posts and everyone's stories really inspired me to make the choice to have the sleeve done. well it saved my life and i am just thrilled with my success this far.
if anyone is out there reading these forums and trying to decide what to do i encourage you to read as much as you can so that you can make the right choice for yourself.
thank you to all the great folks out there who share their stories, good or bad.
