Last post I mentioned that I was at 209 and stuck. Well, I weighed today and am at 202. I haven't been below 200 in over 20 years and it is almost surreal.
What else is new for me? Not much really on the gastric bypass front. Except to say that my suits are not fitting. Even the ones I bought after losing 50 lbs are not fitting. This sux. Now I have to go back and buy for the second time. I guess that is a good problem to have.
I need to go back for my 6 months visit with Dr. Clements but I haven't.

Weight is Constant, Taking Vitamins, Marital Problems
I had the surgery on 12/31 of this past year and I started at 270lbs, I now weigh 209 and I am stuck at that weight. I stopped losing about 6 weeks ago and just can't seem to lose anymore weight. Not sure why, but that is where I am. I am able to eat a fair amount of food but am hungry ALL the time. I eat dinner and an hour later, I am hungry. Not just normal, I want a snack eating. But, ravenous eat everything in the house type hunger. But, I can only eat a little bit, then hang out, and then go back for more.
Vitamins are another big thing. I was able to find some chewey gummy bear vitamins in Wal Mart that makes it easy to take the vitamins. So, problem resolved, I now take my multi's. But, still struggling with the calcium.
Craving milk in a big way and ice cream. Oh, if I could just eat a tub of ice cream and a gallon of milk!!! I think that it is the calcium deficiency making me crave milk. Not sure but that is also intense.
Wife and I are not seeing eye to eye at all. Just having lots of problems. She is jealous and says that she feels like she is married to someone new. That my personality is totally different and I am more laid back. I don't know, I am just me.
Still haven't gone back to see Dr. Clements at UAB. My brother did tell me that one of his friends died from a rupture in the stomach because he didn't go back for follow ups. I really am not ready to die, plus I have made it through the gastric bypass. I'd hate to die because of a lack of follow up.
