devint 162 Posted January 9, 2015 Hi everyone, I did get the 6 month results back and all were normal! I've never had normal blood tests my entire life, always bad chol and triglycerides and Vitamin d deficiency ever since I was a teenager. So cool we got the green light to try. We've been looking forward to that news for five years. AND while I was there my doctor called me out on not doing strength training as well so he made a point to "clear" me for all levels of lifting and strenuous exercise In terms of being cold, I was already cold before surgery with low blood pressure. Now I've lost my protective blubber layer (it shouldn't be funny but really it is.) Now I live in Antartica-land-coldness. Luckily, the heated blanket and the heated mattress pad I got for christmas does help too! I've started to wear thicker/more socks, gloves more often, covered shoes, and I drink herbal tea all day long (good for hydration and antioxidants too.) I've also tackled coldness with more hot soaking baths, which is a refreshing way to take care of myself, something that "big me" never made time to do.

Monte0828 46 Posted January 21, 2015 Hi everyone it's been awhile since I've been in here. I am going well SW 208 CW 148. 8 lbs to my goal dr says 135 would be ok too. I am finding myself ALOT colder than I used to be. ( no more flubber, I guess lol) cleaning out closest of size 12 pants now a size 10. Constipation is a battle dir to our diets with more Protein. fruit will help I do the squeezable fruit packets they are a great size for us. On another blog I am a member of Smooth Move herbal tea was suggested. I tried that and it worked fine. I take the occasional stool softener too. I really see a difference when I add fruit and increase fluids. I still think in my mind I am fat. Maybe that will always be the case. As far as exercise goes I try to get 10,000 steps in daily and go to the occasional kick boxing class. As far a sex drive mine has stayed about the same. I just seem TIRED ALL THE TIME. Not sure if it my traditional seasonal depression due to no sun or what? Or the newer job working three nights a week. Hope this finds everyone well Including and updated pic from Christmas. Happy new year everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niquee 43 Posted February 1, 2015 I have a question....are your ass hurting too? I guess it has to do with not having a plump butt anymore. I can feel my tail bone, and if i dont sit correctly, it´s uncomfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
