Topic: Weigh****chers
Has anyone joined weigh****chers? I did again yesterday and am very excited about it. This is my third time. I know (well the ones I went to in the past) talked negatively about the surgery. But I feel I need to be there as I have to be held responsible for every morsel I put in my mouth etc. So I hope I reach goal with their assistance and support!

Wow, I cannot believe that. You have come sooo far. Honestly when I look in the mirror I don't recognize myself anymore either. I feel like my whole being has changed. I ran into someone from high school the other day and she didn't recognize me at all! It was awesome sharing the new me. Good Luck!

Topic: who are you ???
Have you gone through the "Not know who you are faze"? I put on my profile a couple weeks ago I waved at myself because the person was staring.... I was looking in a mirror in the mall. Since that time I have taken full body shots that keep with me so I can look at them regularly. But I am still catching myself off guard. Granted I love the new me..... but how long will this faze last?

Topic: RE: Vitamins . . . Again!
Hi, Sandy!
Sorry so slow to respond to your post but I was "pondering" something...
YOUR vitamin regimen includes much more than what I take. Truly, at first, when I read yours, I instantly thought, "Oh my! I'm not taking enough compared to Sandy!!! Maybe I should _________ (fill in the blank)"
This journey is so unique--and so are each one of us, our specific surgeries and our physicians. Our surgeons have been watching the labs from their post-op patients long enough to know what works for their patients...
I waited to post this as I knew I was going to have some labwork done...and my labs are all fine. What I'm doing is working for me but it may not be what someone else needs.
Isn't it frustrating this whole vitamin/supplement thing seems so complicated and too many gray areas??? But when you think about it, nothing in medicine is completely black and white!
Take care and let how you feel and your labwork be your guide!
