Topic: RE: PMS questions!
Hi Angela'
Sure it can happen this way with quick weight loss. Your hormones get effected and your weight loss also affects the iron in your body even with the supplements and therefore the bleeding may be affected either heavy or light. I was always regular and now and finding that things are getting a little off. I a week ahead of your surgery date and what you are describing is a lot like what I am dealing with. As far as the mood swings I find that adding some St. John's wort...an herbal supplement that promotes well being helps me...it was okay'd by my nutritionist and nurse practitioner. Congratulations on the weight loss...keep up the good work.

Topic: RE: Extreme Hunger and Gall Bladder???
Kathy,
My attacks have been horrible pain. The pain is usually right under my ribs in the middle (sometimes a little on the right side). It usually happens right after I eat and feels like labor. The pain is why I called my surgeon, he ordered an ultrasound of the gall bladder, and they saw the gallstones and sludge with the ultrasound.
Hope that helps!

PMS questions
Ok my period has been regular since my surgery March 24,05. It shows up the same time each month and last the same amount of days. It has been heavier since surgery but normal. Ok, my period was supposed to have started a couple of days ago. By this time last month I was already bleeding pretty heavy. I know I have been expecting my period for week now because my breast have gotten tender and there have been a few times I have felt slightly nauseous. Also, the mood swings lol! Since it is impossible for me to be pregnant, I am thinking that since I lost 12 pounds in the last 8 days that might have some thing to do with my period being late. I spotted a little when I wipe but then nothing is showing up on my pad. Could losing 12 pounds in 8 days make my period late? I know I am not pregnant, hubby had a vasectomy 4 years ago this December and if I am pregnant he and I are going to have a small chat with his Dr, lol. I think its losing 12 pounds, my weight loss was going pretty slow then I started doing exactly what my surgeon told me and boom 12 pounds fell off since last Thursday. Thanks for any imput on this!
Hugs

Topic: RE: Marchers with hair loss?
My hair too has been falling out in clumps everyday, in the shower, floor,sink, everywhere. I have pcos and had thin hair before, but this is over the top. One of my patients in my lab suggested NIOXIN to use.She said she has used it for 2 1/2 years and has a head full of hair. She swears by it. So i went to the hair salon inside of walmart and they sell it. It's kinda expensive but i feel worth it. When I got to the register i was tickled to see it on sale. I got the 10 oz cleanser and 10 oz scalp therapy both for 20.00 (reg. was 30.00) . I hope it works for me. I am 40 pounds from goal and would hate to be bald!!! started 327 as of today
215 pounds
Topic: RE: Extreme Hunger and Gall Bladder???
Ok... stupid question.... how do you know you have gall stones (and sludge)? Is it horrible pain? Where? All the time or just on and off? In the same place... just wondering. Sometimes I feel some small pain in the area I think the gall bladder is but it goes away and is not that bad and not often. Also feel the same pain in other places.... gas??
Thanks... kathy

Thank you Myra.
I look so different it stops people in their tracks. No one can resist saying something to me. I proudly tell them I had surgery.
Hugggs,

Thank you Linda. You're not far yourself. Does it irk you that men lose faster than women? Isn't it hard to get enough protein as a vegetarian? What will you be having on Labor Day?
