had to go up on my acid reflux meds. one in the morning and one in the evening

I take Prevacid 2x daily - morning and bedtime and also a Zantac in the evening. It does seem to help.

I take a Prilosec morning and night and a Zantac in the afternoon. This helps a lot!

I won't get any blood work done until the 6-month mark. (I don't have any co-morbidities, so maybe that's why?) In any case, that is interesting that you are so "high." My NUT has me on so many vitamins! It looks like a geriatric pill-taking time in the morning when I take most of them. Keep us posted about what they tell you since this is the opposite outcome than what we expect.

Did you gain weight during your stalls ? For the past two weeks my weight fluctuated from 267 to 269 I'm going to insane . I exercise everyday I drink Water and I am good with my Protein and my calories are between 500 to 800. I am still still not losing

Yes I went from 257 to 261. It is crazy frustrating when your in a stall.

So my BMI is still in the obese range, but I think I am officially back in onederland. Very excited. I don't think I have been under 200 lbs in 7 years. (The reason I say "I think" is because I was weighing myself on the scale at the gym which is more like the doctor's office scale...It said I was 198 1/2.)

I was told to discontinue vitamins for 24 hours before my blood draw. If you had taken them too close to when your blood was drawn, that could explain the elevated levels. B vitamins are Water soluble though. That means if you take extra, you just pee them out. Vitamin D is fat soluble so you "could" take to much and have it stored in your body fat. I doubt however that you are taking a dose that would cause this. I would still take your vitamins until your doctor tells you otherwise. Especially b12 since we are missing the part of our stomachs that absorb it.

Sorry wrote 1 too many 0 - 5000 still way out 900 is the top of the range at least that was what I was told.

Lets have a positive thought day today!

List the positive things that have happened since your surgery!

For me, my knees don't hurt much, neither do my feet, I have a desire to exercise, lost quite a bit of weight and down 3 pant sizes.

I know we get frustrated with the stalls, when we get stressed our bodies tend to hold weight, find a way to destress. I sip on tea and exercise to help

Cheers!

Rsmnd, great idea.

Plus': I don't get winded when walking thru airport terminals anymore. I've lost 17 inches, and one pant size. I feel wonderful, and have more energy.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
