Yes I don't like food much either. Dealing with nausea but my energy is good. When was the last time you had your Iron level checked? I take Biotin daily so no issues with hair. Good job on your weight loss and I hope you feel better soon

I havn't had any blood work done yet. Go back to see my surgeon in 3 weeks so we'll see then what she has to say.

So my energy levels have been good but I've been having almost like cramps in my shoulders. They're always tense and I have some numbness and tingling. Anyone having this issue? I've been going to the chiropractor to see if that helps some.

I got my 6 month blood work back today, and it wasn't great. Let's just say I haven't done a great job remembering to take my Vitamins. So I went and bought some new ones, and got a bottle to keep in my desk and some to keep in my purse and I'm going to do better. Hopefully that will also help with the shoulder issues.

I've also been trying to up my Fluid intake the past few days because I've been hungry all the time and it's seemed to help a lot.

I can so relate with the tingling and Vitamin situation. I wasn't the best at taking my vitamins and gradually day by day my legs and feet and toes were very tingly and even got crazy numb like a going to sleep feeling and it has stayed liked that going on 3 months. Little did I know I developed a vitamin deficiency to b1. So now I set alarms to remind to take my vitamins lol bc let me tell ya I wouldn't wish this feeling on my worst enemy. You never realize how much something means until you don't have it and let me tell ya it's hard to cope with the fact that I'm only 28 and at one point was having to walk with a walker for support. So needless to say I will try my best to NEVER forget my vitamins again lol .

I always forget mine as well. I am trying to get better. My main issue is energy to get through my work outs. I get my labs checked in three weeks so I will get it together before then dont want any problems. They already thing I may be anemic becasue of my energy and I am always cold like always. I am very happy with my progress thus far and wish everyone luck.

2012 to today. And yes, I actually completed my first walk. I couldn't run it, it was 4.5 miles uphill, but I did it!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
