I finally talked to my doc’s office. They said my B-12 is low normal and it’s a good idea to add a 1000mcg supplement every day. Some part of my iron is off (I forget exactly how she explained it) and I need to add 50mg each day. It has to be ferris fumarate - [...]

Thankfully, my weight didn’t go up after the reunion. I didn’t eat much - just munched on some stuff. I had about 2 glasses of diet coke which is a lot more than I’ve had at any given time since surgery. I also had a couple sips of a friend’s drink (sex on the beach) [...]

I did it - I weighed in at 199.2 yesterday. Today was the same. I don’t have power at my house, so I’m at bro-in-law’s place right now to shower, etc. I’ll take pics later and upload them when my power comes back on. Woohoo!
Only problem is, that my HS reunion is tonight and [...]

My mini-goal is to get under 200 before my HS reunion Saturday. Looks like I just might make it.
I started today off with a Dannon Light & Fit Carb & Sugar Control Strawberries ‘n Cream smoothie. I added 4 small strawberries and a scoop of Unjury unflavored protein powder. It was less than pleasant. I [...]

I was reading the January message board yesterday and saw that several women have tried this 4 day liquid diet to bust through their plateau. I decided to take the idea and tweak it a little for myself. First of all, I’m going to lose weight this week anyway just because of the schedule my [...]

I’m at a big plateau right now. I saw 203 two weeks ago, but then went back up to 205 and have fluctuated around this area since. Today, I was at 204.2. Ugh. I haven’t been trying all that hard though. There were a few days that I did everything right and the weight didn’t [...]

Yesterday, I went to a birthday party. I ate like I normally do at a party - some chips, part of a burger, couple bites of a brownie, things like that. I felt fine and had lots of fun catching up with people (it wasn’t an in-law party (yay!)). When I got home, we watched [...]

I went to my 6 month follow-up appt today. They said I’m a little ahead of where they expected me to be at this point. That’s surprising considering so many people on the January message board are going faster than I am. I weighed in at 206.5 with clothes on.
My bloodwork came back fine except [...]
