Called me a success today!!

I'm not at my goal but I guess I made some kind of goal for him because he said I'm good, that I look great to him!

my blood work is awesome (Well except that damn iron) I'm a success in his eyes

I know it's kindly corny, but it felt good.

I wanted a certain number going in there today and I didn't hit it and I have been down a bit about it..

It's a stupid number as was pointed out to me (thanks m2g) this morning and I'm going to take the victory lap for now and just keep trying to Work on myself.

Shameless selfie

Eh?! How comes my post was 'edited' by you?! Whad I miss?! And it's okay, I have no desire to languish where I'm not wanted!

Because in my giddiness I clicked the wrong button. Quite a power to change others words though... MUAHAHAHAHA

S'okay, don't worry.. I have neither the time nor the inclination

Not to mention, I don't need to put words in your mouth!!

'Course you don't. We all know if I 'went on one', you'd be clearing it up in teams for at least 48 hours

Congrats! You are a success and I love the selfie! At this point, it's all vanity pounds, but I know what you mean about getting there.

I take Ferrimin 150 when I need it. My program recommends ferrous fulmar ate Iron. The Ferrimin includes a stool softener because iron alone can be pretty binding. I take it right before bed because you're supposed to wait 2 hrs after taking Calcium.

Yep. That's why I don't like taking it... I've been boarder line anemic for years. So it hasn't changed since before surgery but he wants me to do something about it now so he emailed my pcp. Because it's due to girly problems. Fun fun!!

Oh is that iron prescription??

You know Jane his approval meant so much to me too.. I guess I feel a bit of a god complex for him

I was in the waiting room and there was a few People in there two were there for their one week out and I thought to myself what a wonderful journey they have ahead of them!

I had to stop myself from talking like a fool to them!

I will go back in six months again and I hope to be even more healthy then.

I so relate to this. I wanted to carry in a lifesize poster of my before pics...and tell all the scared people in the waiting room... "see, see... this really does work!"

Another funny that happened to me is that while I was there waiting at my one year (or was it 18 months?) one of the ladies that worked there was talking with patients, and sorta eyeing me. I didnt want to rudely interupt, but she was one that talked to me alot about my presurgery jitters and reassured me. As I was leaving she said "Jane, I didn't even recognize you - oh wow, how you have changed" she remembered me as the nervous nellie that I was!

Anyway, I am a sleeve evangelist I guess and really want to show people that it can be done. I can remember how much that helped me preop and also... that I sorta didn't believe it. When I saw thin people I assumed they started out pretty small so I guess i want to expecially show the higher BMI people that there is hope since I remember how hopeless I felt.

ANYWAY - congrats again, you are an inspiration Laura!

Laura.....can we ban Rev for this? We need to ban someone so the rest fall in line.

Congrats Laura, you look wonderful!

I have a difficult time not talking a strangers ear off in my dr's office. Maybe because I know we are all in there for the same thing!

We can ban her or wait a little while for Alex to do it

Points funny how we like to show ourselves off to our surgeon. I like being a success and I hope the docs are proud too. My daughter is having her surgery this Friday so I get to see my MX surgeon one year exactly from my surgery. I'm excited.. Plus hopefully it's warm down there compared to here
