Kind of late putting this post up...I had a busy morning running errands, and then came home and started to clean out my closet. What a mess! Food was not good yesterday. Oh well. Today looks better... B: toast L: chicken wrap, cottage cheese, small apple D: chicken breast, stuffing, sweet potato (I know, heavy carbs, but I'm trying to get rid of some of these things that are about 10 seconds from being pitched) S: vegetable soup (eating it now, actually), protein shake (another something that needs to get used up, even though it's disgusting) Exercise: who am I kidding? Well, back to cleaning. Now I'm headed towards my bathroom. It's even worse than my closet! Cheers! Pamela

Hi Teah!! boy were you missed!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! What a beautiful bride you must have been!!! That is one lucky guy you got there!! Please let us know when you post pictures! As far as the weight goes, I think our bodies find a certain weight that they are comfortable in. I seem to hang around 170. I'm not complaining either, but I'm going to try and get down to 163.... Hope we'll hear from you more often - we missed you!! Hugs, Nancy

Hi Everyone, Its probably been more than a month since I last posted. How is everyone, I was trying to do little reading to catch up on what's been going on. I'm doing well. I got married in las vegas during the time I was vacationing from the board. I have some great pictures from the wedding, but I've been slow about getting them online. I will soon I promise. I missed you all! I had some good days and some bad...but guess what I'm still at 183! Can you believe that? In all the walking and water drinking and other activity , you would think that I'd have gone down some, but nope. Still holding at 183..I've been holding at this weight for a very long time now. I'm not complaining, I think my body is very comfortable here. My two year anniversary is tomorrow. It seems like another lifetime ago thinking about before the surgery. If I had to go back and do it again, I would. My expereince has been great.

HI Traci, My bloodword was similiar to yours....all well except for low end of the average range for iron....and I am always tired....the nurse asked me yesterday when she was giving me my B12 if I noticed a big change....well I have been on the shots monthly now for a year and "on paper" they are working...but my energy level is shot....I am just tired......she said many people say that they notice a big difference the next day after the B12 shot but I just laughed.....if she told me it was red cool aid in the syringe I would beleive her because I don't see any improvement. I am sure you will be fine....I will certainly say a prayer that your follow ups are all fine. Hang in there.... Hugs Karen 299 - 163 - 149

I hope that nothing is seriously wrong, and that you'll be feeling better soon. I haven't gone back to my surgeon yet...probably won't, because he always sends me to my regular doctor for blood work and says "keep up the good work"...so I figure I'll just see my PCP this fall and save myself the headache and expense of heading to the city. Thankfully, my doctor has several bariatric patients, so he knows what to look for. Good luck with your retesting...I hope everything magically returns to normal! Pamela
