Because of the spacing of my calcium, I never get them in and yet my calcium levels were good..whew!!

I have been taking an iron supplement daily, and not realizing my Bariatric Vit also had iron in it, as well as putting Kale in my protein smoothies for my eyes....I had labs done last Monday and all was good except my iron level was high, which can be fatal......Be sure to monitor yours. I did not even know there was a possibility

I think you are probably right. I also have been on Hormone Replacement Therapy but I don't think that is the issue

I didn't handle meat well for about 1 year or more.....it just kind of stuck and felt heavy. Do you like cottage cheese? That goes down good and is excellent protein. Are you taking all your necessary vitamins? Drinking your water???/

I hit my goal, 110 pounds, snazzy sz 12 and got over confident. I guess I stopped taking care of myself and also traveled a lot which made it harder. Now I have gained about 30 pounds. I am struggling to get back on track. I know my pouch still works cause I cannot eat much. I celebrated with too much wine and have cut that out. I am NOT happy wit myself....... I meant "With", not wit

Yes, I have slacked off the exercise too.....I am having a Boudoir shoot done in March...incentive...

I know my pouch is still good because I still cannot eat much......Eating on a cruise with all the food in your face was hard. I still put Protein first but a couple of times just threw up because I was so miserable..I finally asked for smaller portions and that helped but I just have started putting in too many calories

I am 23 months out and after three ten day vacations, and a ten day cruise, with holidays I have gained 15 lbs back. What do I do??

Thank you!!

Does anyone have a recipe for a green smoothie??

My doctor has released me and I had to pay for my nutritionist , who wasn't all that great...my doctor was awesome but he left this all up to the nut. I am only concerned because of the eye pigment and these eye vits cost me over 30.00 a month and they say the pigment could still be higher. Thanks for the info. That chart would be helpful

I do take my vitamins faithfully.......but just wondering about this

I was at one year for gastric bypass on Feb 26, 2015. I have been very successul with 110 pound wt loss. My question is this. For over two years my eye doctor has been monitoring the pigment in my eyes that makes me at risk for macular degeneration. I have been consistantly low and have to take daily vitamins specifically for that. Before my bypass, the pigment increased by eating lots of green leafy veggies. I am curious since we cannot absorb vitamins but can absorb protein...if I make smoothies out of green leafy veggiess, can my body absorb the nutrients from that more than it can from just eating them???

Thank you everyone

Thank you!!!

Yes I do and thank you

amazing, simply amazing

Oh SHMILY, you look great!!! If no one else will say it, I will

This photo was taken of me on my one year anniversary date to surgery. -110 lbs and over 80 inches. Here is the before photo as well

I wear my boots very often, love them!!! My legs and arms are so skinny......we are doing Alaska this summer and I am taking my boots!!! I just noticed I started out 60 lbs fatter than you.........I hadn't realized that

I don't have a standing photo since I reach goal but here I was holding my granddaughter. You can tell by my face and skinny legs...I will get a better one soon...(over 80 inches gone)

Just about 2 weeks from my one year surgery date and I hit my goal.....I feel awesome.....

I am not in single digit and probably never will be, but I am not in plus size. A large will fit good and sz 12 jeans. I feel awesome...and pain free. Yes I bought some new clothes but just enough to get me through the season, some at thrift shops and Christmas sales, until I get to where I finally settle wt wise...

102 lost only 11 to goal...

Thank you!!
