I found a school nurse to give them to me. In your Arm.

Thanks for the suggestion! ;) Spoke with my doc today and she said for me to take 10000mcg of my B12 daily & that would be the same as getting the shots once a month. So I will try that first. I'm only taking 50000mcg right now. Wish me luck!

Hi guys. August 10th was three month mark. So here I go with the stats:

When I decided to have surgery my weight was 289

Surgery day 275 down 14 lbs

end of June weight 253 that made 22 pounds in a few weeks

end of July weight was 244 down another 9 lbs

end of August weight 234 down another 10 lbs

September 10 weight was 229 that means I am down another 5 lbs.

Total down from surgery is 46 lbs and total weight loss is 60 lbs.

I am now 5 lbs from my half way goal. YEAH!

Way to Go!!! Keep up the good work....:-)

That is awesome you have lost 47 lbs . I completely agree I feel the same way some says and at times realize that unless you have gone through or are going through this journey you can not know what we go through with the "new me" I use the Internet for different shake ideas it really does make a difference since I can't seem to tolerate a lot of food but I'm working on it

Thanks I'm going to try that and good luck on your success. I'm so proud of us all

Congrats sister! You are doing awesome! When was your surgery date? Mine was June 24, 2013. I'm exactly 3 months out today & had my check up with my surgeon. Here are my stats.

My heaviest weight recoreded at his office was 287.5 lbs. My highest weight ever & was my "ohhhh to THE helllll no" moment was 301lbs!

Two weeks pre-op weight 282Lbs.

Day if surgery weight 273lbs.

Today I weighed in at 232.0lbs.

So, 51lbs. Since day of surgery.

Here's my pics at 287.5 in purple & todays weight 232 in black.

I've lost 38lbs of fat mass & 17lbs. of muscle mass the dietian said. I'm not really sure how they figure that one out?

That means 55lbs not 51lbs. From the "recorded" weight she wrote down. Anyone understand how they figure that out?!

I wish I could see a bigger difference in my head, but really thrilled to see the numbers going down.

Can't wait to see what the next 3 months brings us.

Continue on your success!

Congrats. ..we are almost identical. 6.25.13 surgery date 265 today 226.4

The ups and downs can drive you crazy but it's definitely worth it. I saw some parents at a fball game on Sat that were like you've lost weight and you look really good. What an awesome feeling soooo worth it...

My dr gives me a print out after I weigh and they gave me a handout that explained how all those #s are factored. It is like x*y/z= whatever. I can't find my handout, but maybe ask if they have that so you can see how those numbers are figured out. I can ask for one when I go for my 6 months (Jan) and put it on here if you don't get anything from your dr by then. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
