I've lost 55 pounds and it hasn't been easy. Up until a week or so ago I threw up everything I ate, I wondered if I have done the best thing and but now everything is good I can eat normal, just smaller amounts. <br><div style="margin-top: 5px;"><div></div></div> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/419695/2-months">Comments(1)</a> 419695 Sunday, December 7, 2008 00:07:23 Gastric Bypass http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/407383/gastric-bypass <DIV style="MARGIN-TOP: 5px"> <DIV><STRONG><IMG src="/thm/images/mooeditable/msn/shades_smile.gif">I haven't been on here in a long long time.

Its been over a week. Its as if this past week never happened. I couldn't open my eyes long enough to know who I even was. It was bad. I tried to excersize today and after 20 mins I just couldn't do it anymore. I haven't been taking my pills because I don't want it to affect my stomach anymore. I'd just die if it got any more painful. I was 280 when I started all this, this morning I was 259. I am so excited it. Its been a little over a month. </p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/290488/still-sick">Comments(1)</a> 290488 Saturday, December 1, 2007 22:05:22 Sick http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/287612/sick <p><b>I've beeen sick the past few days.

I've been taking what I thought was Phentermine 37.5, I don't know maybe it is, I just don't understand why they give it to me with out a script and why does it have the doctors name imprinted on the side of the pill, It doesn't seem to go together for me. I took Phentermine for 2 months before and it worked for me, this time I just feel like I could eat my foot. I am akways hungry. I will give the doctor 1 month to see if I see any results. I ordered my own b12 shots to give to myself at home because if I don't see results I can just give my self the shot because thats the main reason I went to a weight clinic, my doctor says b12 shots don't work, I know they do because I can tell a big difference when I get one. I also like to get one every week and I don't plan on going to the doctors every week becasue its too expensive. </b></p> <p><b>&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b>Maybe I am just upset because I haven't lost any weight and I've lowered my calories but a ton and I've add 2 hours of working out on top of it and nothing is happening. </b></p> <p><b>Idk. </b></p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/283950/day-six">Comments(1)</a> 283950 Saturday, December 1, 2007 23:02:16 Day 4 and start of day 5 http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/282984/day-4-and-start-of-day-5 <p><b><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">I got a call from the nurse on saturday, I am border line diabetic, it could still go either way, what I don't understand is if I have it or not, my new understanding is that I don't have it yet.

I am still hungry, at least I think thats what it is. My stomach is making all types of noises and just a whole lot is going on in there. Do you think it has anything to do with it dealing with the pills and is getting used to a 1000 calories instead of everything else I ate before? It uncomfortable. </p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/282266/day-3">Comments(3)</a> 282266 Sunday, December 2, 2007 00:09:17 day two on Phentermine http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/281932/day-two-on-phentermine <p>today was a lot better than yesterday. I was sick to my stomach for a while. I ate 859 calories. I plan on going to Mcdonalds in a few to get something to top it off. I just prolly shouldn't eat this late, I just can't go to sleep only having 859 calories, I had 1290 yesterday and I got really sick. Before I would guess that I would have had 3-4 thousand a day. I didnt care what I ate or about the calories. So I think the dr is nuts when she said 1000 a day, I never heard of it. I am trying but I cant and wont promise 1000 a day.</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/devonklotz/comments/281932/day-two-on-phentermine">Comments(2)</a> 281932 Sunday, December 2, 2007 00:08:20
