Hi all! Just wanted to get reacquainted (and newly acquainted with some). I'm meq815 from the other forum. Went with Millie this time, bc that's the Grandmom name I plan to use, so trying it on for size. No rug rats in the near future, however.
Anyway, my 1 yr surgiversary was 4/29. I happened to have my follow up with my surgeon -Dr Gintas Antanavicius- that very day. He was quite pleased with my progress. I have lost 100% of my excess body weight, and labs are all good. He also gave me a script for Creon, if I'm unable to slow the weight loss on my own. I currently range ~136-141. I am 5'7.5" tall, and my original goal was 160.
After a rough year -I had virtually no complications, I just didn't feel good until about December-I'm finally starting to see the light. With such rapid weight loss, some hair loss, and such a huge lifestyle change, I guess depression was virtually unavoidable. The clouds are lifting, spring has sprung, and the clothes are amazing!
So there's my intro, and just a little question- barley. Anyone experience negatives with it? For the second time in about 6 months, I indulged in chicken barley soup, which eventually came back up. I was miserable. Felt like a newbie all over again. I can eat most carbs, like rice and white bread, without difficulty. Go figure.
Thx for the add, and look forward to following all along in this crazy journey!
