Wed weighed 226 thurs 229 today 228. A fellow bypasser says it's just water weight fluctuation, I prayer so. On my 6/4 check-up, I weighed 238 my Dr. said for my next visit 8/4 I should be down 25lbs. I really thought it should be more then that, but now I don't even see how I'll  lose that much.  I was telling my bypass friend that I see the before/afters where people lost 70-80-90lbs in 6-7-8 months and I don't see me even coming close the way I seem to be losing so slowly, she laughs and tells me it's not a contest.  She is past her 1 year anniversary, lost over 120lbs but she's been having a lot of issues lately, very anemic, she's had to have another blood transfusion, she had one last year too. She's been looking at all the risk with WLS she wasn't aware of, hernias, gallstones, anemia etc, I was aware of these things so I wasn't surprised. See she did not have the surgery simply by choice she had 3 forms of heart aliments going on and she had to lose the weight or risk assured pre-mature death, she chose the surgery and never concerned herself with the other risk. She's so awed now with the risk that she's starting a website. I did think it was funny that a few days before she learned all the risks I had this dream that I kept getting hernias all over my abdomen they just kept popping up even where I didn't have an incision. Lately I have been concerned with malnutrition issues down the line since I'm having a hard time taking  my vitamins. I get nauseous whenever I take them and whether it's  before or after I've eaten doesn't seem to matter.
