Yes I think you are right. Its just easy to compare ourselves to others.

I feel the same way aboutr the weight loss. It seems slow to me too. I keep wondering if I am doing something wrong. But I too am happy to be losing, I really can't complain.

I really like the bariatric advantage vitamins...except for the iron..I can't wait to be rid of those...

Last week that was me for the weight loss. I didnt loose anything. Tomorrow I will be one month out and i have lost about twenty pounds. It seems a lot slower than most people loose in their first month but I am ok with it. Its better than nothing!

I am taking the celebrate vitamins, the orange multivits are too sour and the calcuims just dont settle well. I like my iron, its grape and has a bit of an aftertaste but not too bad!

Hey !!!

So how have you been doing, My scale is finally moving! But on a negative note I am having trouble getting my chewable vitamins to go down and my protein sucks. I try to drink it but it just makes me so sick. I cant wait until i can start taking regular vitamins itll be so much easier on me!

hope all is well with you! talk to you soon!

I am having the same problem. I gagged down a chocolate BA shake with a little banana this morning....It did stay down, but I didn't really enjoy it. I have to have at least one a day I figure. Our stalls will come to an end....I hope real soon for both of us.

Hey Laurie - thanks for the comment! :-) I appreciate your support soooo much. Hope you are doing well - you are in such an important and exciting time!

Hi Laurie! My support group leader is Patricia Patton. I know that she runs another support group, but I'm not sure where that one is. She runs a good group...I enjoy going. Definitely come to ours anytime! She brings in some interesting people for presentations...we've had a nutritionist, Dr. Wilcox, a Bariatric Advantage supplement representative, plastic surgeon, etc. The speaker at the next meeting is going to be from Dress for Success...basically giving wardrobe/clothing tips for our shrinking selves.

The meeting are the 1st Monday of each month, at 6:30. The next one is August 3rd. They are held at the Fayette Home Care & Hospice Building, which is right off the Connellsville St exit of Route 119.

I'm crappy with giving directions, but Pat could do a better job at that. I'm going to send you her email address & phone number in a private message. (I don't want to post it here for the whole world to see, lol.) Just tell her that Sherry passed along the info.
