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!
Six Years!

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!
Oh why oh why...

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!
