  1. Happy Saturday! I'm in a big time rut lately. Hit the 199 mark and since then haven't seen it again. My weight fluctuates up as far as 204 no matter what I do. I've tried liquids a day, eating very healthy, and no snacking. Nothing seems to work. Cant wait to see the nutritionist so i can pick her brain. Wantednto lose at least 30 more and hope this isnt the end. Wish i could do some hard core exercising! Should have my year follow up appointment next month, but I have to wait to see what the spine surgeon says on Friday. Don't want to schedule appointment if I'll be having my second spine surgery. Been having a lot of pain again, and was up all high last night. I want this to all be over so I can get back to being me. Hope everyone is doing well!

    I had to post pone mine also. I'm having eye surgery Thursday. The shyt never ends.


  2. Hey all. Had my test and appointment yesterday. Am having some good pain today as well as a massive headache. Need to spend the day laying flat except for eating and toilet. Yay me! Found out that the spine is fusing nicely however the nerve is being fused right along with it! Will need another surgery in about 2-3 months. ; (

    He will then take the hardware out and a big chunk of old arthritic bone as well. This will open up the way for the nerve to breathe and hopefully stop the pain. The fusion has to be strong enough to stand without the hardware; this is why the 2-3 month wait. In the meantime I have to see the pain management dr for an injection. The surgeon doubts he will be able to fit the injection where it needs to go because of the angle of the slippage but he wants me to try so I get some relief. Another long journey ahead but hopefully he thinks that will be the end of the pain. No work for me for a long while yet.

    On a great note; I weighed at 200.6 lbs today!!! So close to joining everyone in ONDERLAND! ! Happy weekend all!

    At least you have some answers you can do it!!!


  3. Thanks! Don't know what I'd do without the support and kind words from my friends here!

    So sorry to hear about your back. Between my neck and back I could scream. Therapy two times a week and my surgery was in 2011. If I work with anything above my shoulders my neck seizes up. I may be looking for another job soon because of it. Grrrrrrr.


  4. How are you all doing with the Vitamins? Are you still taking Bcomplex or B12? One of my coworkers said she only did it for the first year. I still do Protein shakes, but I am trying to get most Protein from real food. I think that is one of the problems, I want to eat regular food, but can't eat much of it, so I can't get a lot of protein. Today, we're snowed in(2-3 inches), so I'm making chili. That will last a month! I guess I'll freeze it.

    RNY's take Vitamins for life.


  5. I'm still losing alot if hair I'm almost bald I have had a few complications I had to be opened back up in December they had to remove scar tissue and a couple of weeks ago I had a colonoscopy I have this same stomach pain for awhile and they pretty much tell me I'm crazy

    I think my hair issues is from my thyroid (which I always lose a patch in the same spot when its off) and alopecia. I have big smooth bald spots all over my head.


  6. when in April was your surgery? Mine was 17th.

    Not much bothers me either - so I thought. I avoided most sugary things such as I never ate icecream nor cheese doodles. Then I tried them and boom. Then I tried the carvel once more just to torture myself :/

    LOL

    April 11th. I pretty much behave all the time except during Christmas I ate my Carmel's I make and the gut of my cheesecake. But a bite of other things here and there. I really thought the candy would of done it. I haven't tried chips or anything like that yet but I do drink wine every once in a while and no effects there either. I did try coconut milk ice cream once but it did not bother me. I just want some payback I guess so I don't go nuts with the bad things.


  7. I thought for sure I would but nope. I keep fluctuating between 210 and 208. Can't seem to break it. Wish I could do more walking but we have too much snow and I don't need to fall!! Tried my walk away the pounds video and just did the walking and not all the other stuff. Did it 2 times this week and went good so maybe that will help! ;)

    I'm in limbo also. Seeing a dermatologist weds to see what we can do with my bald spots all over my head. If they keep getting any bigger I won't even be able to get hair extensions!
