So I just left the hematologist. I had my 3 month bloods a couple weeks ago and it came back that my Iron is low, of course cuz it always is. He didn't want to start on the intravenous iron yet, he wants me to try 1 pill a day and see how I can tolerate that. We also discussed B12 shots in the future, he says that taking b12 orally is pointless because our stomachs don't have the binders that it needs to hang onto and transport the b12....and I didn't realize how sick you can get if you are seriously b12 deficient! Kind of scary!

So does anyone else feel like they can eat more than we should be able to?? I'm getting nervous cuz I'm not getting full when I should be :( I can easily eat a half cup and still be hungry!

I went to the surgeon on Thursday and he is very pleased with my labs. Makes me happy!

I have to take my B12 supplements every other day now instead of every day and other than that, he thinks everything else is fine. I still have some concerns about a couple of the markers and will follow up with my regular doc and possibly an endocrinologist. Just want to be sure! Oh...and my cholesterol is better than its ever been! I am sticking with strict Paleo and I'm really happy with my results.

Anyone else get your labs yet?

When I went to my 3 month, the PA said that they don't do labs until 6 months. As much as I hate having blood drawn, I was looking forward to hearing about my levels. Still curious.

Well I tested my pounch really well this weekend. Last night I ate 1/2 hamburger bun and all. And a handfull of fries. No problems. Today I ate a few Cookies and cupcake for my grandson's birthday, no problem! Now mind you I do not intent to eat like this except for rarely. Not sure that I like the fact I have no restriction and don't seem to dump!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
