Week 6 update.
As for the surgery stuff, so far so good! Got my first labs back. Prior to these labs I had been taking all vitamins with the exception of iron. Well, I know why the iron made me sick. My iron was on the high side already so I think when I started with the supplement it made me sick...All other stuff looks great. All by B levels were high so I have stopped taking them for now.
Big news is that I have been promoted and am now back in the states as of last week. My family has to stay in Germany, so I am on expense report for the next 3 months. Fine DS dining at its best! I am totally addicted to sashimi at a nice sushi spot by my hotel.
So now I need to find a Dr/ PCP to take over my care.I will be living in Eastern Connecticut. Any Ideas???

Hi: I'm a newbie! Read about what you had eaten and your gas problem. Please know that Onion Soup may be
the culprit. Onion is known to cause gas. I can't eat onion at all! Hope his helps you.

I'm glad we are all so different when it comes to things like this because I would be a lost soul without extra onions on everything! LOL |

Just curious because so many people do have difficulties with them. |

Just curious because so many people do have difficulties with them. Raw Red Onions were something I started adding to my un-salads (and other stuff) pretty early out. I'd say maybe 3-4 months?? I have really good tolerance of most veggies actually but don't really eat a huge amount. But everything I cook seemingly starts with butter and/or oil and garlic & onions...and ends with onions to boot. Lol Now, carrots? They definitely *don't* love me. No bueno!! |

Just this past week, I have been unable to tolerate onions! And I've always been a fan. Another week, another adventure.....

A couple days past 2 months. Since my first appointment, down 75lbs. 57 since surgery. Last couple weeks have been good. I saw my surgeon yesterday and everything looks good. They did an ultrasound and labs. Not much else to say, just plugging along in clothes from 2008!

Still weird that I have to remind myself to eat! Hey there, so good to hear from you, I've been wondering about you too! You sound really good, and I LOVE the analogy of weight loss=carrying around your 8 year old daughter Thanks for checking in and hope to hear more about your experiences and victories! |

Still weird that I have to remind myself to eat! Congratulations on your remarkable loss! I have been trying to minimize my life and I came across an old 5 lb. weight set. It is amazing how heavy an extra five pounds feels when you are lifting it with your hand. When you are lifting your daughter, imagine carrying her 24/7 going through daily life. It is amazing that we even made it out of bed each day. |

4 months down. 117 pounds down. Have not been at this weight since senior year in college and I am now 20 pounds from my "playing weight"!
38 waist, XL shirts. Wow.
Food has been ok. Still eating out on expense as we move back to the states so it has been pretty easy. Turned out to be great timing. Lobster one night, sushi the next!

It's great to hear from you, was just wondering how you were doing. Food has been 'ok' indeed, hello, lobster, hello sushi! Throw in a steak and I'm down! Isn't it something to be in the 30s for your waist size, and only TWO letters in your shirt size?! Any chance we might get a full view in photos? *hopeful* So you're back here now then in the US? |
