Weird problem - tongue problems - I had an RNY Dec 2011 and have done very well.  I work hard to get in my protein, but am not terribly successful.  I do take all the vitamins, take double B 12 and B complex.  M...

Skewed lab results - I'm six months out from RNY and got my lab results yesterday.  My iron and vitamin D are both less than half of normal.  How common is this?  I know I have to add both to my pile o...

Gummy vitamins? - I was told not to take gummy vitamins because they don't have enough of iron (something, but I think it's iron).  Does anyone know about gummy B vitamins?  I've tried the sublingua...

Onederland... I finally made it! - I haven't lost much weight in the past couple of months.  I discovered my sleeping pill was causing me to eat at night.  I didn't believe it for a long time, but eventually had to ...

Work and other issues - I found out about three weeks ago that my entire department is closing down.  (I'm theER  nurse manager for the float pool of a multisystem hospital and my staff is being divided u...

Hiccups - I'm almost four months out from an RNY and I hiccup.  This has strictly been a post op thing.  I don't think I've had a spell last more than a minute, but even when they're not fre...

Drugged night time eating - So as it turns out, Ambien really can make you eat in your sleep.  I've had significant insomnia since childhood.  I remember getting ready for school in the morning some days afte...

Consignment store in San Antonio? - The only consignment store I can find through the internet doesn't take clothes from Penney's (where I get most of my clothes).  I guess I'm not hip.  :) Anyone know of a consig...

Onederland, here I come! - I'm down to 208 pounds.  Wow!  I gave birth at 212 (25 1/2 yrs ago), lost 40 pounds in the hospital (had pre eclampsia), went home at 174 pounds.  Within the year, I was over 200 p...

The agony of de feet (yes, I went there) - So, as I have been whining on the forum, I had to say goodbye to fifteen pairs of shoes today.  (A moment of silence, please...)  Nothing I could do, nothing I could shove into my ...

Mourning the loss - I'm down by 53 pounds and three dress sizes.  That's wonderful.  What's not so wonderful is that I had to pull 15 (yes, FIFTEEN) pairs of shoes out of my closet that no longer fit....

Down another decade! - I'm under 220.  Hooray!  I haven't lost in a couple of weeks, but this morning I'm at 218.  I was at 212 when I gave birth, but I lost 40 pounds in the hospital.  (I had pre eclamp...

So am I normal? - I'm 7 1/2 weeks out from an RNY.  My surgeon said I could start eating when I got hungry, usually 1-2 weeks post op.  I got hungry early, about four or five days out.  (My husband ...

Poopy stuff - I have never had constipation issues.  I was constipated once, when I was heavily medicated after Glen's death.  Two days ago I had a hard, hard stool that I could not pass.  I use...

Big loser - I weighed myself tonight, yes at NIGHT, and am down.  I haven't lost any numbers on the scale for several days, but my clothes continue to get looser.  People at work have been tel...

Whine alert - Yesterday was a difficult day for me.  I started out with a headache.   Actually, I started at the gym.  I've been trying to go some, but I'm not nearly where I was before the plan...

Whine fest - In the interest of full disclosure, I've just finished the period thing (sorry, guys, it is what it is).  I have a loooong future of that ahead of me.  My mom and grandmother went ...
