Hi everyone who is having surgery in October 2014. We can start a new topic for those of us who have had surgery already.

This is the spot were we will all end up, were we'll share our stories and recovery. It will be a new dawn for so many of us. Let's stay close as united we will conquer anything that comes our way!

BEST WISHES GLADIATORS

Carbs are so hard for me to say no to, so I don't have any at my house. And I have done very very good!! Until now, today was easter; hummus with Nann bread, and rosemary olive oil bread for turkey sandwiches..... I still got all my protein in but I am positive I won't be loosing the half a pound I wanted to loose this week. And if I do it will be a miracle.

^{Hi Everyone! I was away for Easter visiting the family... I was reading all of your stories, news and other stuff. Sounds like everyone is doing well! Keep it up!}

^{I maintained my walking regime while at home. And, did very well on food choices.}

^{I had been wondering why everyone was loosing so much faster than I am.... then I realized that most of you had GBP versus sleeve. So, now I don't feel so bad. My process will be slower.}

My scale is moving slow and I had bypass. I'm feeling a little timid about posting as so many are so much further. My B12 and vitamin D are very low. I'm exhausted and waiting for this fog to lift.

My scale is moving slower than yous! I also wish it would go faster but now that I've lost as much as I have I"m satisfied as long as it doesn't stop! I don't have the energy that everyone else raves about also. Hopefully it will come!

@@misstvb We are all on our own journeys. I'm going slower than some others, too. I'm just happy that I am now "just overweight." I haven't been this weight since junior high, so whether others lose more, lose faster, or not, I'm focusing on what my own journey, rejoicing with those who are having fantastic results, and sympathizing with those who are struggling.

The only reason I mention this is that posting helps me. If it helps you, then post, and don't worry about comparing your journey with anyone else's. We're just here to support you.

Peace,

The scale finally moved! 3 pounds. Yippee!

The picture is from Easter. I am standing between my brother and my nephew. They are both 6 ft 6 in. They kept calling me "Tiny" the whole weekend. I love it!

I hadn't seen them since Christmas, so, it has been quite awhile. I guess I look in the mirror every day and don't see any difference. LOL! Besides, we are our own worst critiques some times.

Tuesday's are my weight in days, and I was soooo praying that I would have lost my last .5 pounds to hit my 100 pound lost mark. But I didn't ???? it ruined my day and PMS had me on a pitty party train. I was sooo frustrated at my bad decisions and could not see the path that is behind me. So I went to bed at 7;30pm so I wouldn't eat and self sabotage.

I woke up to a huge amazing weigh in!! I am so happy and feel so silly for being so emotional yesterday.

@pinkpolkadot, CONGRATULATIONS, AWESOME, NORMAL BMI BEST THING EVER!!!!

I have my six month follow up today. They will also review the labs that my primary reviewed with me. I hope they have a little more insight as they are the experts with bypass. Just taking B12 and D3 has not cured this exhaustion.

Pink! Way to go! Keep the faith. It's a journey; not just a step on the scale!

I really like that, "It's a journey; not just a step on the scale!"

I hope that's not copywrited, cuz I wanna use it!

spring break!

spring break!

gorgeous Bronx!

Dr visit went okay. I got a b12 shot, prescription d2 and a slew of blood work ordered. Also I'm back on a protein drink a day.

Bronx, you look great.

Hi everyone, I didn't vanish. Just been a little depressed. Turns out I have not lost any weight in so long (3 weeks) and I don't feel as good as I used to. I run out of energy way too quickly and even exercising gets me so tired I think I am going to pass out. I have blood work next week and the 6 month appointment at the end of the month. Let's see what they say. I think I have lost muscle mass because now I can hardly carry anything. I am sad. I thought the worst was behind me. Perhaps it was my fault I didn't exercise as much as I should have early on but I just could not. I think when I lost 40 pounds I felt amazing but since losing 80 lbs I feel worst. Now I can only do anything physical for short amounts of time and I have to take a break. One hour of gardening is all I can handle. I do look good though. I am wondering if it's a low blood sugar thing or low Protein. My blood work was fine at the 3 month check up. Not sure what to do.
