I lost 4 pounds since 8/10. I'm sure I broke the stall now!  Only 4 more pounds until Onderland....... 

finally I lost 3 lbs. this week. Maybe I passed the hump! Yahoo..... 

I only lost 5 pounds this month. It doesn't seem right at all. Don't know what I am doing wrong but something is wrong. My surgery was a pbd which leaves the pouch a little larger than a rny but, I experience less absorbtion than rny, so I don't get it. I tend to be hungry all lot. Drink and eat plenty of protein, very little carbs.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. My ability to exercise is still dimished due to the cronic arthritis and fibromyalgia, but I do walk in the pool.

It has been slow going compared to some people, probably due to my disabilities which make it hard to exercise. I'm down 41lbs. in 3 months. Only 11 more to go to be in onederland, boy it's been so long since I've been there. wonder what it will be like!

My 11 year old grandson was in the hospital today for a spinal tap to determine if he has Lyme disease and if so Lyme Meningitis. Well the results just came in positive in both cases. He will have to get intravenous antibiotics for the next month. They will put an outlet in his chest so he can get these meds at home with the aid of a nurse.

Be careful out there, these ticks can get you without you even knowing it. I just pray that this medication takes care of it without any residual physical problems.

Well since last Wens. I've been dealing with migraines. More med adjustments, lose one then it creates another problem for which you need another med, UGH... Sorry I'm kinda down with this, feeling weak again, more Dr calls and appt's. More importantly food in general doesn't smell good or taste good and I don't know why. Toast and protein, noodle soup and water are as much as I can get down. All the rest of the plumbing works, have to call Dr Roye too! 

Enough of this, gotta run. Don't want to strain my eyes

Wow, I didn't realize it has been so long since my last post. I'm feeling a lot more like myself these days. The illness I was dealing with over 3 weeks time seems to have past for the most part. My thyroid meds had to be increased, blood pressure meds decreased, fibro and arthritis meds were adjusted and I think the body takes a toll with all those changes.

I have a routine with my vitamins and meals and that has helped too.  Adding more fiber has eliminated the constipation problem and going up and down the stairs has gotten a lot better. Once the pool water increases in tempurature I can start walking in water for my exercise, thankfully.

The plans for my daughters Wedding shower are almost complete, except finding someting to wear. That worries me a lot but it is to soon, 5 weeks away can make too much of a difference for fit. Need 2 other outfits for other weddings coming up in July and August and then my daughter's in September.

That's about it for now, Anna

OK, Hi everyone,

I need help! My daughter's wedding shower is late July and wedding is late September. My surgery was April 20 this year, from then to now I have lost 29lbs. I was wearing a size 2x/24. Now am almost into a 20. My height is 5' 3". Hips are 14" wider than waist, l lost 10" in my waist since March. Present weight is 222lbs from 251 at surgery.

Can anyone tell me their guestamations (is that a word?) based on their own changes in sizes what size I might be wearing for one/or the other event or both?

Thanks Anna

My pcp said the blood work came back  a little low but still in normal range for the thyroid. He wants me to wait till Friday of this week and do over. He wants to see if there are any differences. Then I will see him next week. I'm not happy about the wait. I'm having trouble getting out of bed, or anyhting else. Do you think it is reasonable to wait till Fri for the next set of bloodwork?

I also see my surgeon on Fri, he will follow up on any deficiencies with vitamins.

Such a busy summer, I've got to get back on my feet. So far I've had 2 bridal showers for close family. June there are 2 surprise birthday events, along with regular family birthdays, July there is my son's b-day, my daughters wedding shower and 1 family wedding, August is another family wedding, my anniversary, and September is my daughter's wedding (out of town).

Its true when they say all or nothing! thanks for all your kind words.

Hi, It has been well over a week now since I've had these symtoms that make me feel sick and unable to accomplish my daily living stuff. I do have hypothyroidism and have been taking meds for it for 27 years.

Dr took blood and said I may not be absorbing enough of that dose, but wait a week and redo to be sure. In the meantime I am exhausted the minute I get out of bed. Symptoms are: shortness of breath, dizzy, unsteady on my feet, flushing (had surgical menopause 9 years ago), very cold shivers, and general malaise. 

Is this familiar with anyone? Any ideas?
Thanks all, Anna
