glad u are feeling better.  Migraines suck.  I have been suffering from tension haedaches.  Started seeing a chiropractor.  So far so good.  One headache in a week.. not bad considering I was a living headache!

Good Morning. Been lurking around lately. Havent really posted much about my progress. Stress is full force right now. Maybe I will see relief by the end of the summer.   Nost of it is financial, thus the reason why I have been working extra hours.  I will be so glad when I can work less than 48-50 hours a week. 

Finally saw a positive change in the scale this week. For 2 weeks I was gaining and losing the same 4 pounds despite what I did to change things up. The biggest issue has been that I have not been exercising. Been 6 weeks. The first 2 weeks was because I was sick, the next 2 was b/c I had no energy (B12 was low), the last 2 weeks I just have lacked motivation. I was also having this unexplained pain to my lef lower abdomen. The pain has been pretty much gone the last 2 weeks. No hernia, thank goodness. Now it is just TIME TO GET MY butt into gear.

I have also been noticing lots of changing in my body. I am losing inches still. The skin is beginning to sag BIG time. This is bittersweet for me. I was always self concience about my body, now it seems that I am more so. I hate the loose skin of my arms and inner thighs. So in a way I have been a little depressed about it. it does Not bother me everyday.

Moods have been more stable.  I have not been to the psychologist in 3 weeks.  I need to schedule an appt.  I am seeing a chiropractor due to having recurrent headaches.  I was not sure if it was because of my B12 being low or if it was my herniated discs acting up again.  The herniating discs was the cause.  Started seeing a chiropractor for that and so far it is helping alot.  My neck and shoulder muscles are less stiff and tight.  I do think that I am gonna make an appt with PCP and ask for flexeril to take at night, just to help more.  I will admit how bad of a post-op I have been.  I have taken Ibuprofen about once a week the last 2 weeks.  Tylenol just did not take it.  I am taking nexium twice a day and carafate a few times a day at well (CNP thought the pain I was having was due to increased acid and a thickening of my stomach lining).

Hi Kathy,
    No husband but an awesome sister who has been with me every step of the way. she prepared the drinks/ food that I needed for the stage I was at. She grocery shopped, did dishes and laundry, Made sure I took my meds and supplements. She was so organized and a real blessing. I could have her send you a PM of her experience if you want.  Take care, Mag
