This year of 2012 I have no regrets, I lost 125lbs, I gained friends,   lost friends , Got an promotion, my social life has been at an all time high, and I have gained so much more confidence in myself than I have ever had!! My marriage is at it's best, and our love life is just off the chain!! lol!! So far this year I had low protein levels, my iron level was slightly low, and I got H pylori uggghhh!! But I raised my protein intake, and that problem got solved, I took more Iron, and that helped alot, and the antibiotics solved my H pylori situation, so besides these minor issues I have had no serious health problems.

Hello my OH family, I have been missing in action! Lol! Since the last time I blogged on here, I was having some stomach complications! I was burping Alot, and my tummy always felt bloated, so I went to the Doctors, and she ran more blood work, and I be dam I tested positive for H pylori...uggghhh so I had to take a serious round of antibiotics, and I am on prescribed acid reducer meds, and I feel much better now! H pylori is a bacteria infection in the intestines that can cause stomach ulcers if not treated! So let's pray that the antibiotics helped cleared it up. I will find out around the end of the month when I send in a stool sample. My iron level was slightly low, so I take more iron and it has went up, also my surgeons office told me my protein levels were low Geesh, so I upped my protein intake! So now I sometimes drink 2 shakes a day, and 1 of my shakes equals 35g of protein so if I am having one of those days when I eat 1 spoonful and I am full I just drink 2 shakes, but I always drink at least 1 a day! Now for the past 6 weeks I have been stuck in the 220's I go up, and come back down! So I think I hit a dreadful stall! I am 5ft 11in tall, so my weight looks good on me, but I am afraid that I am finished loosing, but I was told that I wasn't! So now I have to up my exercise routine, I already upped my protein, so let's see what happens! My appetite has came back recently, and I can eat more than what I used to, and that is scaring me too! I never dump, I wish I would dump, so I can eat sweets with no problems! I admit a chocolate chip cookie is soooooooo freakin good,and it calls my name sometimes! Lol! I know I don't have no business eating it. I just have to get my but back on track! The good thing is I look good and I feel marvelous! Ok I think I have talked you guys heads off enough. I will keep you all posted on everything. I have a NSV.... MY 19 YR OLD SON SAYS THAT EVERYBODY KEEPS THINKING, AND ASKING HIM IF I AM HIS GIRLFRIEND LOL! SO HE TOLD ME TO DON'T WALK BESIDE HIM WHILE WE WERE IN THE MALL, BECAUSE I AM MESSING UP HIS FLOW WITH THE GIRLS HAHAHAHA, I AM LOVING IT!! Until the next time loving my RNY!

Hello everyone!!! Wowwww that is all I can say!!! Everything has been going so well for me, but not well for my haters!!! My job has been stressful...The girls that work with me are always constantly talking about weight loss, I guess due to my wls, these girls are so obsessed about my weight loss, that 1 female co worker is always throwing smart remarks about my weight loss, my height, and my looks!! Uggghhh I really dunno what is up with this chic!! I really try to ignore her!! I have so many people at work that are constantly saying how good I look, how pretty my hair is, how good I look in my clothes, and than here she comes with....I am glad I am not that tall, oh my god your neck is way to small, and so many other different remarks that it is just sickening!! Well like the saying says "Make your haters your motivation". I have been so stressed at work that I switched my shift to night shift, I guess I will see how this goes, wish me well OH family! I am still taking my vitamins routinely, my eating is doing well, and my social life is going great!! I do need to up my exercise activity, but I think that I will be able to get in my physical activity really soon! I am now down to a size 16, and it is great to be able to wear clothes that I thought I could never wear! Me and the family have been doing so many things, and I have been truly busy, thank God that I have the energy to do all of these things!! Well wish me well OH family, and until the next time LOVING MY RNY!
