Ballermom 803 Posted August 12, 2013 Im so excited. Hi all, Just want to say thanks to all here on this forum. I finally made it to Onderland and not without you guys helping me. Some of you may already be familiar with me, because I'm the President and CEO of the slow losers club. And guys, i had to rethink my position. lol So, i finally got the break I was looking for. I did the 5 day pouch test that was originally designed for gastric bypass patients. I was out of control with you guess it slider foods like that darn, popcorn. It work to get you back to basics and that it did. Happy dance here! No more popcorn for me after following the program And as an added benefit i lost down 5 pounds. Yay Thank you, because we share more in way of encouraging each on this Journey than sometimes with others.

jacee 183 Posted August 12, 2013 Awesome! We are sleeve sisters, we had our surgery on the same day we are about the same age, and our stats are so close! I screamed a couple days ago when mine said 199, I love the weight loss and the compliments, but I am soooo fatigued. Going to get my blood drawn to see what my Iron levels are. How is your energy level? 1 Ballermom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ballermom 803 Posted August 12, 2013 Hay Jacee sleeve sis. Well congrats on your Onderland too! So, yes I suddenly feel really tired. Had to take lots of things like B12 and herbal things for energy thinking about getting labs drawn too. You reminded me to do that this week. 1 jacee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is your energy level? What are you doing for energy? I know my Vitamin D was low. Didn't finish my prescription but will work on that this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jacee 183 Posted August 12, 2013 What are you doing for energy? I know my Vitamin d was low. Didn't finish my prescription but will work on that this week. I am taking sublingual vit b and d however I have always been anemic, and this surgery has not made it any better in fact worse. I bought some Iron to add to my Water, but I just got it (walgreens) Getting my blood drawn to check anemia because last time had it checked it was so low they asked me how I had the energy to get out of bed in the morning, but I really felt fine at that time. Now, I am just dragging, I feel like that is the problem.. 1 Ballermom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
