Really 10 years have passed...wow...

So here is the scoop...I am back up to 230...so 100 up from lowest...yes it is a drag...

Also, I went years having a B12 deficiency and not knowing it...almost lost my marbles in 2020 not cause of pandemic but because of Mega Mania (enlarged red blood cells) from B12 deficiency. Even though my serum B12 was normal I had increased MMA and MCV and have been on shots since discovering this. Things got better and then this year I started having muscle and nerve issues again...think I may have SIBO now. Ugh ...Also learned that the reason I was losing my teeth was because B12 def cause you to have less Saliva and your teeth erode. At least that has slowed down for me. 

Tired of constantly having to think of vitamins etc...but this is just the fact now. I am going thru deficiencies and not absorbing protein and I have to try and find a balance.

Truly now regretting a lot and wish I had known more ...but I did the best with what knowledge I had at the time. 

Now we have Ozempic etc...wish that had been around in 2004...may start that journey too...cause I really would love to take some weight off again.

Love to all on this WLS path.

 

Wow 3 more years passed...crazy!!!

I got pregnant 2 times and lost both at the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011. Very sad because I really wanted to be a mom. I am now around 60 pounds more than my low but damn am trying to stave of anymore. It is hard! I am about to start protein drinks again...I feel weak and foggy and dump still to this day sometimes. Blood sugar issues and anemia still...oh and have Ostopenia of my hips...so yes I have some issues. But even in the face of that am still grateful. Oh and I was losing my teeth but discovered giving up sugar and getting a water pic and using Myrrh has helped me immensely!

Good luck to all others on this journey ...my love to you all!

 Wow...six years ago I took this journey...I had lost 160..now have regained 40...my iron and calcium are low but what is new? That is to be expected...trying to get back on track....I would love to get back to my lowest again someday...have given up wheat and have a bunch of food allergies that I didn't have before...so eating has been a real challenge...but I am would do it all again...no doubt! :)

Hard to find a doctor who knows anything bout the challenges I face especially being anemic etc...and I still don't know many others who have done this...would really like to connect with more people in the future about it...it is kinda like a club! I just need to find mine! Well at least I have OH!

Love to all wherever you are in your journey!

 Don't know where to really start with all that is going on with me....I have started back on my multi vits and calcium and D no iron just yet...have had a few panic attacks...and felt like crap for a few days...but a bit better the last 2 days...guess we shall see...

I think I have candida and am gluten sensitive...

Well another sign of what gastric bypass has done...bone loss...and cavities! Poo!
I have like 10 cavities in my mouth...and my bone loss is a definite problem...damn I really don't know what to do at this point....
Gonna start with cavities...but ouch! Hate dental work! 

So I started dousing myself with as much iron and vitamins as I could and guess what I got sick...started having liver probs , itchy hands, reactive hypo, hives etc...felt awful for most of March...then I stopped and felt better almost immediately. Haven't taken anything for a month...having blood work done tomorrow including liver panel ..need to figure out what is going on! 

Well my Ferratin went from a 6 to a 9..at least that is up a bit and my other levels are all normal...still don't know if I should infuse...I still feel like crap...and am thinking that until ferratin is up higher I won't be feeling better....not quite sure what to do...being infused is risky and all but damn I want my energy back!

Anyone reading this? 

Got blood drawn yesterday...waiting for results... I am so hoping that my supplementation is working so I don't have to be infused. But I just know something else is going on with me ...like fibromyalgia or something...too many other symptoms...too many muscle pains...and pin prick feelings and panic attacks...NO FUN in other words.

Anyway will update when my bw comes back!

39.5 today it was 67.9 I am trying to look at the bright side. :)

I am 5 years out and it is true what they say that that is when the vitamin probs begin...I have to admit though I was not dilligent in my vitamns till now...kind of half assed it...well no more!

The big one IRON is the first issue for me...Ferratin is a 4 and my over all is 28...not good at all...supplementing but will probably have to go get infused...

The 2nd is I am going thru bloating and weight gain...35 pounds up from my low...my rashes have come back that I used to get..and I am also going thru something like celiac, fibromyalgia or something like it cause I don't know with all my symptoms which are so many what is going on...I am going thru jaw pain for the last week and teeth issues again.

Still yes I would do it all over again...I knew what I was getting going in...and I have had Disneyland...and loved it...so now it is more like legoland but I will still take it! :)

Mwah!
