Finally out of the 300#'s

I am finally out of the 300's I was so excited when I hit 299 now I am down to 294 and I started at 352!  It is exciting to see the scale move downwards when your so used to it going up, and up, and up...... Sometimes when I feel like giving up cause of all I have been through with my surgery I get on the scale and I see that I have lost more then the little cloud goes away for a little while and I get to have something to feel happy about.   Thanks everyone for all your support and prayers.

Bev that is great about the weight loss We are all proud of you.....I would think you are far enough out now to be able to swallow pills...I was taking all of mine by pill for by 2 months. and are you not doing protein shakes???? girl you will have to do lots of protein and water to get over being anemic.  I dont care if they dont taste great or not you need to find one of some kind that you can tolerate and get it down at least 3 or 4 a day....This isnt something that is ok if you do or ok if you dont , It is a must do .....I dont mean to come on to hard but honey you wont ever get to feeling better till you do this and get some body building protein in you. When you dont get enough protein in the weight you lose after the fat stores will be muscle and you will feel even more tired and dragged out. Please please dont wait on this, start right now.  Dont make me come up there.lol Love you too much to see you sick like this but you are going to have to push yourself. really really hard.   

Thanks Jan, I know I need to push the protein drinks it's not that I don't like them it's just that I can't drink very much of them so I end up wasting a lot of it.  I use a few different ones like high protein slim fast (use this when in a hurry) then I have ON gold standard whey protein I use that one when I want to mix in frozen fruit and have time to make them or feel up to making them I should say!  When I just need a little something I use carnation SF instant breakfast drink.  I'm going to ask Dr. H today when I can start swallowing pills I think I also may have a b1 defeciency?  I have tried to crush up the b1 or even the b complex and it is so nasty I throw up.  I will start trying to get in more protein shakes and build that up. I knew that was important but maybe I didn't know or realize just how important it really is?

You go girl, and listen to our Momma Jan. Those protein drinks are what keep us healthy and full of energy. Also, I swallowed vitamins early on. Keep on working on protein and water and you'll lose even faster.
Hugs and congratulations.

Woooo Hoooo!!!! Girly I am so tickled for you!!! I started at 474 and I remember how I felt when I steped on and it showed I was under 400!!! Now I am at about 303 and waiting for that same exciting feeling when I get on and it shows I have finally made it to twolander!!!!!  Keep up the good work....And on the protien drinks...Use the powder mix so you can make smaller amounts...The protien will make a world of difference, even in your energy level.....And you can start the B12 on your own...Use the sublingual and then you dont have to do the shots or take pills..They just melt away.... Keep up the good work!!!!...Tammy~ammy
