Change of life

Hi Donna, So sorry you are having to go thru this. Some of us go thru it sooner than others. I started it back in 2000, however mine was surgically induced when I had a total hysterectomy. I was put on hormones while still in the hospital, but it took us nearly a year to get my meds right, but once they did, everything was much better. Now at nearly 21 months out from the WLS, I am no longer taking them... finally. I hoped that I would be able to come off of them at sometime with all the talk a few years ago about hormone replacement therapy, but I figured I would have to be one of the ones who had to take them the rest of my life. But now that I am off of them, and have been for 2 months now, I feel pretty good. And the Dr's were already in process of taking me off of my thyroid meds, so I quit taking those as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all will continue to go well in that dept. Get you some hormones, take them religously, and in no time you will feel better, and realize your not crazy after all. Sounds like as early as your mother went thru the change that you were also destined too.... There are are good things about the change.... Just think of all the money you will save on monthly supplies, birth control, and eventually no more pms.... it really isn't all bad.... I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as things level out for you now that you know whats wrong. Hugs, Susan

I'm hoping it's just my hormones. I had a hysterectomy over 10 years ago but they left one ovary in so I was still getting my horomones. I'm just wondering why my calcuim, Thryoid, PTH and Vit. D are all off and even my liver. Makes me worry. It's funny I do much better on the weekends when Ron is home as he keeps me moving as we go out walking to the malls and flea markets but I'm so tired when I get home I got keep my up. Hugs Donna

Hey, Donna! If you don't start eating regularly, I'm gonna call Dr. Koren and Mandy and tattle on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your so cute Mary LOVE YOU!!! I did something really bad today. I cancelled with Dr. Koren on Monday. My sister is trying to help me through this but she is in Anchorage, AK. Bless her heart Mary. I'm really thinking of asking Dr. Koren to admit me to the hospital in Easton. Even if it's for two days to get me back on track with eating. My pouch is now rejecting EVERYTHING I eat. MY FAULT!! I told my sister I would try REALLY REALLY HARD TO GET MY BUTT OUT OF BED!! Hugs and Love Donna
