Thnks that's interesting. I am reading about it online and when we are deficient and are anemic are appetite is low. When we get the b12 shot, our energy levels go up as well as our metabolism and the appetite also goes up. But it doesn't stay like this for a long time. Everytime I get the shot, my appetite goes up, I work out better and I get my period.

Thnks but I am talking specifically about b12 shots not pills or sublingual. The shots are high doses of b12.

Let me ask you guys something....I don't have much of an appetite and I know I am anemic and low in iron but once I get Vit B12 shot, my appetite increases tremendously. I have more energy but I end up eating more too. Does this happen to anyone here? Please let me know. Thnks!

Yes come and hangout with me. I love meeting new people and making friends. I bought a nice bottle of Chardonnay for the evening. Will just have a glass for the night

I love the gnc total lean 25 and muscle milk. It does the job for me and the flavor

The other day I had a sushi roll that had brown rice and had a hard time getting it down. I ate the first 3 pieces and it was not comfy and then half hr later I worked on the last 3 pieces and it was hard getting it down. So now I just don't bother with it. Bread rice pasta potatoes are hard to get down. It feels so uneasy and I just hate the feeling. I took a bite of the udon last night and I felt really uncomfy. So I just stick to things that work and not experiment much. I also had RNY. But I would say best to not introduce rice if you don't have to you know what I mean?

I would say best to get a grill and a slow cooker. I don't eat rice and don't want to so I never use my rice cooker that I bought before surgery for my ex. Invest in something you will use for long term. You can steam your veggies on the stove or just get a steamer. Good luck!

I def don't drink any carbonated stuff. I had a RNY so alcohol hits quicker than for sleevers due to the shorten intestines. So maybe sleevers end up drinking more to get the buzz. I have one glass of white wine and I am buzzed. Before surgery I would need couple of glasses.

Dr. Fielding was my RNY surgeon and he was awesome. He would see me everyday after my surgery and I love his team. I love NYU but then I am a little bias cause I did my nursing school there lol. I will see Dr. Fielding this month for my 6 month follow up. Am down 60 pounds. I was 210 and now I am 150.

Interesting how people gain weight when they drink. I have been drinking every weekend for the past 2 months but just on Fridays/Saturdays. I drink white wine or light cran and vodka. I end up losing weight the next day every time I drink. But then again I don't eat a lot of food that day either. But I have to tell you the buzz feels awesome. It does get me in trouble though where I am getting hit on by men all the time lol. I hate to say it but I enjoy drinking and before surgery I would rarely drink. And I am not addicted but like the buzz lol

I have only tried 3 inch subway flat bread with turkey and I was desperate for food. Other than that I don't eat any fast foods. I don't know if I would ever try it cause we have options in NYC that are far better than fast foods and healthier. But if I had to choose I would eat chilli at Wendy's and if I had to have McDonalds I would have grilled chicken sandwich minus the bread. Hope this helps!

I can finally wear heals for long periods of time and be able to walk around in the city and not get tired and look sexy. I can actually make my foods last longer than ever after the surgery. I am able to cross my legs cause my thighs are becoming thinner. I couldn't even cross my legs before.

Thank you so much for the kind words. You are absolutely right, there are a lot of rude people out there and they will put others down to feel good about themselves. And best for us to stay away from unhappy people. And you are right, I need to be proud of myself and think positive. At times I just feel I might not get to my goal and have set such high expectations, instead I should be proud of myself and be thankful to God and this forum to get me through this process.

Thank you so much for the kind words...I am so glad that I get to come here and let it all out and I have people here who understand me and get what I am going through. You are right, people don't think before they say stuff and they just say it. You are right, I should have politely said something instead of just laughing it off cause I would never say such things to someone else. I would actually encourage the other person to continue doing what they are doing and tell them your happiness is really important. You are also right about changing the state of mind and feeling hot about myself vs. the body size. Thank you so much for your support..it means a lot to me!

You are absolutely right, I need to disregard the negative crap and drop these negative people from my life cause after all they are not adding any value . This guy who made a comment to me about my weight is having some serious issues with his marriage and his own weight and I feel sorry for him cause he has to put someone else down to feel good about himself. Isn't it sad that people have to put others down to feel good? I have never been like this where I would put someone down to feel good about myself; cause for me, making myself feel good is all dependent on me and taking care of me. It has nothing to do with others, you know what I mean? Why are people like that? why do they need to hurt others to feel good? I guess I will never understand that cause I have never been like this...
