5 more lbs, 5 more lbs, 5 more lbs

.............. until ONDERLAND This is killing me. Scale seems to really be moving right now but when I am on it every day it takes forever. So so so bad. All my advice to others to toss that scale in the closet and I am totally addicted to it again!! lol I promise to put it back away when I hit 199 (ok well for at least a little while) Side note - hormones are still so wacked out. I'm on day 19 of my period. I'm even getting hot flashes. It really is messing up my whole system. I have an appt on the 14th again to see my OB/GYN to figure out a plan. I'm pretty sure she is going to want me in for a D&C. My surgeon said he has seen this happen to other patients as well but only a few. He suspects my estrogen levels are just very high and have not adjusted to the weight loss.

Stayce, hang in there! I have not had a period for 2 years then I have surgery then in August I had 2 that month talk about not being prepared..... but now back to nothing I wont complain...lol hugs, Anna

Thanks Anna. I rather not have a period at all!! I had a 1 day break in all that time. I was on Premarin for 3 days and it stopped then started again. I wonder how long a person can have a period before it becomes dangerous? Does it ever become dangerous to bleed so long? I guess I need to ask my gyn that when I see her on the 14th.

Hi Stayce Oh you poor thing. I know what it is like to have a never ending period. All our hormones are crazy after this surgery, apparently. I had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago.( before WLS) because I bled for three years straight and didnt matter what I did it wouldnt stop. I have been told that hormones are stored in fat so when yu lose a lot quickly, every thing goes nuts. Give it time, Im sure it will even out. WOW you are so close to the onederland mark. I cant wait to get there either, but have a bit longer to travel, yet hugs from down under Helen

Hey Helen - Your message was exactly what I needed tonight! I tossed the scale back into the closet. Last I checked I was back to 208. I know its all fluid so ignoring it. Monday at 1pm is the appt with the ob/gyn. I'm hoping she will just book me in the OR sometime in the next week or so and do the D&C. Maybe that will help. I bought some tea today - Raspberry Leaf. Someone told me it might help. At this point if someone had magic beans to sell to get my period to stop I probably would buy them... lol Thanks
