Topic: Welcome to Tuesday, Feb 17, What's new with you?

What's your day going to be like? I will be typing and answering phones for my DH's company. I will take a break to go for my daily walk, of course. I hope to get some time to ride my bicycle since it's going to be another beautiful day here.
So, talk it up, I'll check back in later to see what's going on.....
Big Hugs,
Pat A

Topic: RE: m really worried

When I was fresh from surgery I didn't lose either. I even called my doctor in a panic at 6 weeks because I thought I was doing something wrong too. However, after a few weeks more i started to drop pretty quickly. I am post gastric bypass and I am down 74lbs and 6 pant sizes! It will happen. I am curious, since I am new here, you can eat 3-4 oz? I have been extremely rundown and having trouble taking in all my protein, I can eat maybe 2 oz at the most. I wonder if I am not processing my nutrients well because i am unable to eat very much.? That was food for thought. Anyway, keep on chugging along, you will start to lose shortly and will be amazed at how quickly you need new clothes! Take care

Hello. I am post gastric bypass (8/7/08). I have lost 74 lbs, 6 pant sizes and would like to lose another....60lbs to be early 20's weight. Although i feel fantastic for losing this much weight and wearing a pant size I can buy anywhere now, I feel SO VERY rundown. Getting out of bed is really hard let alone exercising and functioning. I am 32 years old and have children that rely on me, not to mention a wonderful husband who works 6 on/3 off outside the home! I cannot even think of cleaning anymore. I didn't start feeling this bad until about 2 months ago. Is this normal? I know that I have a lot of trouble getting my protein because I am NEVER hungry but I try very hard. Could this be the problem? I have had issues with depression for the last almost 7 years after losing my mother to breast cancer (she fought for 12 years!). So, I am no stranger to syptoms of depression and suprisingly feel very upbeat within. The best I have felt in almost 7 years. So, If anyone could give me some insight or suggestions I would be forever grateful. Thanks so much!

Topic: RE: Question

I had a consult with a wonderful doctor here in Colorado Springs, he does lots of Bariatric patients, his name is Tad Heinz. I also know of one in Arizona, his name is Dr. Gitt....sorry don't remember more about him, but I met him 2 years ago and an Obesity help event in Phoenix. You may want to post on the Arizona board to get the particulars, and if you PM me I will give you Dr. Heinz's number.

Yeah, snow is what they're talking about for tomorrow. Ugh, we got spoiled with 60 degree temps and so this cold weather again is for the birds! Thank-you for the excitement. We sure are about the upcoming major changes to our lives. Its wonderful that there are some amazing docs out there that help fight the battle over the horrible disease of obesity. And I had a great time with my girlfriend thank-you. She weighs about 100 lbs and said she will gladly be my walking and work out buddy. So, now I have somebody to be accountable to which will really help! Anyway, hope you have a wonderful night!

Yeah, 2 days is all I will have to do too. My aunt went through RNY on Dec.30 and she had to do 2 weeks of liquid. Wow, that must've been hard for her. Glad I only have the 2 days! Anyway, thanks for the great posts and livening the CO board up! :)
