Default Just checking in.....

Hi, guys! Sorry I haven't been around much ~ life is just too dang busy lately - but it's all good. I have been getting used to my new job and hours, plus with all the end of school year happenings, graduation, etc and camping...... No wonder I'm so tired! Things should start easing off now

Just thought I'd give you a short update ~ I officially hit "normal" as it relates to my BMI anyway ~ LOL. I am feeling really good and have tons more energy than ever before. Still having challenges with getting in fluids and remembering my vitamins. I realize that when I buy the tastey chocolate or caramel chews I remember them better than when I take a pill. I tried the Citracal chews ~ not too yummy but I can choke them down. I just wish the Viactive was Calcium Citrate!!! Sometimes I buy them anyway especially when I crave candy.

One of the biggest differences I notice now vs. a year ago is that I don't sweat buckets like I used to ~ this is a very good thing! When we went camping on Memorial Day weekend I loaded the camper, set up, the whole nine yards and never broke a sweat. I also used to keep yeast infections, especially under my breasts and belly ~~~ no more!!!! Here's a tip for any of you struggling with this, I bought white washcloths at WM and placed one, folded in an upside down V, under my breasts so that my bra would catch it and hold it in place. This absorbed most of the sweat and helped to control the infections from becoming so severe. Yes, I sought treatment for these infections but nothing ever worked until I controlled the heat, moisture aspect. I really didnt expect the weight loss to affect this but it has completely alleviated this problem! If this is one of your challenges, this will give you something to look forward to.

Sorry, this is so long ~ will try to get back more often ~ take care everyone and have a happy summer!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
