OT...IT"S ME with a word to all WLS patients

First thank you Lisa for posting last week for me.  What she said was true about the vitamins and the calcium.  At the rate of bone loss I have going on right now, I am in need of getting on some kind of meds for my osteoporius (sp)  I mean my good looking doc doesn't even want me to wait till Dec 1st to find out, he wants it done yesterday.  So people, please, besides all the prayers I need to keep me sane and calm during the next 5-6 wks, please do not let yourself think you know more than a doctor.  TAKE YOUR VITAMINS, don't wait, don't think you are doing good by what you are eating, it doesn't work that way any longer in our bodies.  If you know what makes you dump, don't ever eat it, dumping is not an easy way for weightloss. (if that is what you are thinkging) it just depletes your body of all your nutrients (sp)vitamins.

Do what the doc said, and don't be stubborn, even if you are Italian, I have certainly learned my lesson and things will change for the better with me.

Thank you one and all for the well wishes and the love shown on my suppor page, I was overwhelmed. 

Love 2 all, Diane

(((((((Diane)))))))) So sorry you're having a rough time. You're so right about the vitamins, but don't forget the calcium and B-12 too. Those a just as important as the other supplements that WLS patients are required to take. And Diane, if I have to, I will call you everyday to remind you to take your vitamins and calcium...lol I love you hun and only want the best for you. I will call you later. Sending love, big hugs and loads of prayers. =)

I am being excellent about taking them all!!!!!  I won't be home, therapy....ULGH!!!!  Be home all day Wed and Tue tho.

Thanks....but please no kicking my butt, there's nothing there but loose skin now!

Hugs, Diane

Ok, no butt kicking...lol I'll call tomorrow...or maybe I'll just show up on your doorstep...lol Love ya!

Thank you Diane for the good advise.  As a newby, I have to say, I was slacking a bit on my supplements.  But NO More!  I will be faithful taking them from now on.  Thank you and I will keep sending the positive vibes your direction.

Diane,
So good to see you posting. Now go rest the shoulder. Thanks also for the reminder on taking vitamins. It is a constant battle for some poeple. I think if we have always taken vitamins (before surgery) it is not hard to remember. It is funny to me how we also follow some suregon's rule to a "T". And other rules, not so much. We have to all be diligent about the vitamins. We cannot 'afford' to be slack on them. It will come back tenfold in later years.

 
I have my calendar in Outlook at work remind me 2x a day to take my vitamins!  It works!  I take them now and don't forget.  Weekends are a bit harder, need to work on that part.

Thanks Diane, now go lay down, lol :)

Oh Diane,
    I have been down with a bad sinus infection / UTI infection- and just pure running lately- I didn't reealize this was all going on?  Were you not taking your vitamins?? Wow I can't belive in that amount of time it got that bad.  You and I have had our share of surgeries- so make this your last one huh?  I feel so bad for you- I am going to call you soon....

                              sending lots of blessings, Chris R

Diane,

Please take care of yourself. We all want you to be happy and healthy.
Also, as I have learned in my support group, we should be taking calcium citrate because with the other calciums, we only absorb 50%; but with the citrate we absorb closer to 100%.
