So I just left the hematologist. I had my 3 month bloods a couple weeks ago and it came back that my Iron is low, of course cuz it always is. He didn't want to start on the intravenous iron yet, he wants me to try 1 pill a day and see how I can tolerate that. We also discussed B12 shots in the future, he says that taking b12 orally is pointless because our stomachs don't have the binders that it needs to hang onto and transport the b12....and I didn't realize how sick you can get if you are seriously b12 deficient! Kind of scary!

So does anyone else feel like they can eat more than we should be able to?? I'm getting nervous cuz I'm not getting full when I should be :( I can easily eat a half cup and still be hungry!

I went to the surgeon on Thursday and he is very pleased with my labs. Makes me happy!

I have to take my B12 supplements every other day now instead of every day and other than that, he thinks everything else is fine. I still have some concerns about a couple of the markers and will follow up with my regular doc and possibly an endocrinologist. Just want to be sure! Oh...and my cholesterol is better than its ever been! I am sticking with strict Paleo and I'm really happy with my results.

Anyone else get your labs yet?

When I went to my 3 month, the PA said that they don't do labs until 6 months. As much as I hate having blood drawn, I was looking forward to hearing about my levels. Still curious.

Well I tested my pounch really well this weekend. Last night I ate 1/2 hamburger bun and all. And a handfull of fries. No problems. Today I ate a few Cookies and cupcake for my grandson's birthday, no problem! Now mind you I do not intent to eat like this except for rarely. Not sure that I like the fact I have no restriction and don't seem to dump!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
