The gym is paying off. I have only lost about 6 pounds in a month but I am down 2 pants sizes so I'm at least firming up and losing inches. I wish I could break that 200# mark. It is just mocking me whenever I get on the scales. So close...
Hope you all have a great week too!

Topic: RE: Hypoglycemic?? god this isnt good....
Hey !
So I've had low blood sugar since I was a little kid and after the surgery it stoped for about 3 months. I am six months out and I have kept my hypoglicemia under check most of the time and here's the secret... eat every 2-3 hours. I am the queen of protein shakes and bars. Not only do I get the required protein intake, but they also have just enough sugar to keep me from these episodes. Another thing that seems to trigger mine is having too much sugar at any point of the day. Within a few hours of having too much sugar I feel hypoglicemia coming. So try eating just enough every 2to3 hours to keep you straight. And please, be happy for what you've done as so many people would love to be on your place.

Topic: RE: 6 Month check up
I didn't start taking it regularly until 3 months out. I just couldn't tolerate much in the way of vitamins at first - grouchy pouchy. So I concentrated on just keeping the multis down and getting in calcium when I could.

Topic: RE: 6 Month check up
Thanks Jennifer, I've been taking my iron every day with a calcium citrate...and all my other pills. Guess I'll have to take it later in the day.
Tammy, Did you take iron for the last 6 months or are you just starting to take iron now. I was told that we would always have to take supplemental iron because we don't absorb it correctly any more.
