MONDAY WEIGH IN!

Hello, from the wacky hormone lady. I only went down 2lbs this week. I just started the week when my body prepares for the period that never ends up coming ( can we all say "welcome to menopause"). I know I'm retaining some water so I'm not worried, just ticked off that this happens still. The worst part is the depression that i****ting, where I can't find anything to feel good about. Being out in the world among others isn't helping to lift it, and since I can't bite into a great big sandwich or pizza anymore, I'm going to stay home alone, cry, and watch a movie. It won't make things better, but it beats trying to explain to anyone why I keep bursting into tears for no apparent reason . Oh, and if you need any judging done, let me know. I am being judgmental beyond all reason . Here's my stats: Pre-op: 414 Surgery: 373 Last week: 328 This week: 326 Loss this week: 2 pounds Total Loss: 88 pounds -Wacko Julie

Julie I feel ya...I am pre-menopause and during that time of the month I could kill you and then cry all day because I miss you. I swear I could divorce my husband every month. I want him to leave me alone then I am made because I don't get enough attention.  It's funny this week. Last week it was REAL serious.  It will be over soon. Until then go rent Terms of Endearment.....you get a litlle of everything from that movie...comedy, drama, and tears.  

Tricie, thanks for giving me the only thing I have been able to laugh about all day. You example of how it feels at times like this couldn't be more on the mark . -Julie

Hey, Wacko! I'm going through the same thing.  My body keeps revving up for Aunt Flo, and then she's a no show.  I feel like I want to cry all the time, but I'm not a crier, so I don't cry.  I love Tricie's description of how she wants to kill you and then cries because she misses you!    That describes me to a T these days.

HEY WACKO JULIE,

HUGS MARGE

And the roller coaster continues... surgery weight: 371 last week's weight: 173 this week's weight: 169 I cannot figure out this body of mine - I have no idea how I lost the 3 pounds I gained last week, then an extra 1. I'm not complaining just having a hard time figuring out the best way to balance everything. I am eating exactly the same each week, so go figure.

HEY PJ,       GO FIGURE... WHEN YA DONT CARE IF YA LOSE OR NOT YOU LOSE... WHEN YOU ARE CHUGGIN UP THAT WEIGHT HILL WE DO NOTHING... TEASING I TELL YA.... HUGS MARGE

Midstate NY has us shivering at night time but the daytime temps have been decent...mid 50's and sunshine. I'll take it. I like the cooler weather (makes me less sweaty) I pray to God that this surgery allows me to shop in a store without coming out wringing wet from pushin a damn shopping cart around! Sheesh!  Anyway...updates on me...went for my Echocardiogram today and the tech told me everything looked fine...nothing to hinder surgery, only a VERY SLIGHT heart murmur (that anyone could have as they get older) Then I went to the Pulmonary MD And eh gave me clearance as well.Sooooooooo, now my MD's office has all my clearances and will apply to the insurance company. Should have an answer within 72 hours. I am scheduled for one week from tomorrow, so NOTHING better go wrong now!  Thank God I am over with all the MD appts and tests. They delivered my C-pap machine today. The mask is way different from 11 yrs. ago. Its not nearly as restrictive, actually only a bit more than like oxygen they give you in the hospital , so I guess I can live with that. (like I have a choice LOL)  Is there ANYONE here who did NOT have a hair loss problem???  Also, did any of you have to deal with an infection post surgery?  The idiot that delivered my C-pap made a point to tell me to be careful because he's known people who died from WLS due to infections blah blah blah.  Scared me!  Hugs to you all.

OOPS...forgot to give my stats: BEGINNING WEIGHT:  284 WEIGHT STARTING MEDIFAST 10/1:  276 TODAY"S WEIGHT:  250 1/2

I KNOW YOU HAVE TO BE SO HAPPY FOR ALL THE TESTS AND CRAP TO BE OVER WITH... NOW ON TO THE PARTY LOL.... YOU HAVE DONE AMAZING WITH WEIGHTLOSS. I KNOW ITS HARD WHEN YA STRESS OVER THINGS BUT KEEP IT UP... SO WELL WORTH IT IN THE END...I DIDNT GET AN INFECTION FROM WLS.. DONE GREAT... PLASTICS WAS ANOTHER STORY.. BUT THE ONLY CULPRIT I HAD WAS NAUSEA AND YES IN THE END I LOST HAIR... BUT I WAS LIKE DORA THE EXPLORER ,.. I HAD PLENTY TO SPARE.... LOL.. HUGS MARGE
