When Hormones Go Bad...

Hey my new parts are fine.  I watched the entire surgery and saw all those titianium (sp) being placed in my knee.  It was pretty awesome to watch.  Then when the doctor was pumping my leg up and down like he was using one of those old fashion pumps trying to ge****er, I figured, hey it can't be that bad.....WRONG!!!!!!!!!  I am trying to do more and more, even cooking today for the first time.  Well I tried Sunday, but it put me back into bed.  I am working slowly today and doing a little at a time.  Will be nice to have some of my food.   By the way I am working things in my head for a fun post, so look for it.  Thanks so much, hope you are doing good. Hugs, Diane

Hi Monica... great meeting you at LB coffee btw...

Aunt Flo has been dependable here... only I get migraines during the first couple of days... and a GREAT side effect... I feel like I'm in my teens and early twenties... wink-wink... not bad for someone who's 45!!!

I hope your doctors figure this out for you!!!

And Janine, if you're an 'old hag' and menopausal (your words)
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THERE!!!

Monica...everyone has given you GREAT feedback to your issues, so I'm just being redundant, but, wanted you to know that the hormone fluctuation related to Weight Loss is to be expected...

So is, in my opinion, the way you are feeling...losing the layer of protectiveness around us, and the comfort zone of "fat", and the comfort place of "eating" is HUGE... change is the word of the day! It's all some major getting used to!!

There is a Discovery Seminar coming up in May at church...have you done that one yet? If not, it might be a great tool to "discover" some things about the newly emerging Monica...

Also... on the medical end of things...keep on top of this w/your docs...let them help... try and try again to find the right balance of things that works for YOU.

love you...glad you shared...
