  1. I have blocked two people on here just today. I can only assume that some people are just hangry and come here to take their anger out on other anonymous internet users.

  2. I was tardy having my 18 month blood work done by almost 3 months. The good news is, so far all of my labs are coming back great! I will say my thyroid was low and we just adjusted my levothryoxine down again for the 3rd time.

      well done on the excellent labs despite being fashionably late (i prefer that phrase!)...it just proves that you're doing a fabulous job!

      please tell me that "hangry" isn't a typing error and it actually describes that state of anger that arises from being too hungry. cause, i know from personal experience, that really is a thing!

  8. I was talking with a friend last night and she told me her weight while she weighed herself (she is trying to gain weight) and I realized I have lost more than her entire body weight, and while she is small, she isn't tiny. It is crazy to think I this time last year I was walking around with an entire person on my back. No wonder my heels are so comfortable now.

      lol girl, my sister has 5 (left in the house, 3 gone), and she said the best thing she did was get a job in the school system right when the middle ones were starting middle school so she could finally be on their schedule.

  15. Today, I am 9 months post op! I'm down 148 since surgery and 203 from my highest weight! I "only" lost 7 pounds this month, which is less than half of my average, so I'm thinking I am leaving the honeymoon phase. :'( 7 Pounds is still 7 pounds, and my life and health are both really great. So, no complaints here!

  16. Feeling very dizzy today....hmmm first time for that.

      early on, dizziness was for me a sign of dehydration.

  19. I saw some of my family last night whom I haven't seen since Christmas also. I am not down that much more since then, but everything has shifted around a bit and the last 20 or 30 pounds really make a difference! My baby brother (10 years younger) said he had never seen me at this weight in his entire life. He is 38... That was hard to hear BUT he said it with such love and admiration as did everyone else. It was at this same birthday event last year that I told everyone I would be having the surgery. (Surgery was June 4, 2015)
