What the Heck

Well, sheesh its been 8 weeks today since my hysterectomy and I have lost about 15 pounds or better. I am not even doing anything differently either. I started taking Lexapro as well though, and maybe that is curving my hunger. Whatever it is, I'll take it. I have been watching sugar and carb intake though.

I also have been dating this new guy and he keeps me pretty happy so I am not feeding sad emotions any longer.

Tomorrow is turkey day.... that means FOOD FOOD FOOD...YIKES... I am going to tell myself that all the homemades breads were made with something awful like... well.... POOP.. that will be enough for the gag reflex to kick in and not let me eat it...LOL 

Guess Who's Back

Well, its been about 6 weeks or so since my surgery (hysterectomy) and I am feeling GREAT! I am losing weight without even trying!!! I had to stop taking the phentermine it was effectin gmy sleep habits and I was only getting 3 hours a night. My doc put me on something else for anxiety to get me sleeping and that seems to be what is suppressing my appetite and its makes me WAY HAPPY all the time! I made some other changes too in the last 2 months with my personal life and that has lifted tremendpus weight from my shoulders alone! LOL

So all and all, things are great and I am back this week at the YMCA excercsing and drinking tons of water again. Its does stink coming back nto work though..  I was really digging being home and running wild all day!! LMFAO

OKay well, good luck to everyone else that is trying to shed the weight, if I can be of any support gimme a HOLLA!!!

Atlast

Well TOM is over & Aunt Flow packed her bags and left for another 4 weeks. HOPEFULLY she wont' come at all next month, she really wore out her welcome this time around...LMFAO...I am having the hyster.. on the 27th of September so HOPEFULLY she won't come!!

Well since she left I did drop a pound or two. When I weighed in today  the nurse said I was down 3.0 lbs from last week, but I have been tracking on here and I think that nurse may have been a little off in her math.. she got me all excited, and then I did the math... I STILL LOST THOUGH, so thats GREAT!

 

SURGERY

So, my Dr. called yesterday to confirm what they already felt was going on with me. Cervical cancer, early onset stages. My white blood count was slightly elevated, while the red count was just a smidge below normal. We had already figured that because of the pre-cancer cells they removed last year in surgery. Now  they are taking the Unit out. I can not wait. I am scared, but also relieved that this is extremely early in the game and can be nipped from the get go.

 

 

To top it off I call my ex-husband to see if the kids can stay with him while I am in the hospital for 5 days, he asks why, I tell him (and I am upset mind you) and the MOFO hangs up on me. My 17 yr old son about cried, he was apologizing for his Dad. I looked at him and said, “Don’t ever apologize for the man another day in your life!” I will never again call that man for anything. Not anything!! I guess the judge gave me full custody for a reason! I was so upset, so hurt, like my existence was nothing… it was weird, my husband and I had been together for 17 years…. SEVENTEEN YEARS… and he hung up. Wow, speechlees…..

 

 

So now, I a, wondering if I should even start on the 6WBMO because I have so much going on in the next several weeks, with tests, PAPS, blood counts, pre-hospital visits.. then 5 days of hospital food. I am just stressed out about everything else (like how I am going to pay bills with 6 weeks off and no income), its just CRAZY right now, and do I want to start this program and have an emotional windfall take me off track and then give up, OR if I should take care of all this other stuff and then start that 6WBMO after surgery???? A little help here People!!!

 

Stayed the Same

Well... Aunt Flow arrived and I weighed in and I did not gain since my 1 lb gain last week during PMS week. SOOO that was uplifting. I did ask the nurse if the meds or shot could mess up my TOM and they said when ever you mess with hormones it can change things.

On another note, I seen my Gynie yesterday and I have to have a hysterectomy on Sept 27. Seems my cervix has some bad cells and my endometeriosis has gotten real bad and my uterus is serverely enlarged. So I am thinking that is why my period is all jacked up. My Gynie said I would see some weight loss after the hysterectomy as well.

AND I got my 6WBMO in the mail Sat. I have to watch the video tonight and go shopping and stuff, because the paper work says to start on a Sunday. Sooooo I am looking forward to that at least.

Well I have depressed myself enough for the day, I am going to get some work done.

Thanks for listening!

Side Effects

I am currently taking phentermine and getting vitamin B shots, and I was wondering if anyone had "girlie" problems once they started the shots? Reason I am asking is that I am typically on time with TOM, and I began the shots a week or so before my last period in July, and this month I am late by about a week, and in horrible pain. I have endometeriosis as is, but its never ever been this painful. And the PMS part leading to actually starting was horrible. I have taken 8 vicodins in the last 48 hours, thats how bad I am cramping. So I was wondering if the new meds or shots have this effect on woman parts or if the timing is just bad?? Anyone experience this??

Water Intake

I have days where I can not force myself to drink all that water….. does anyone have suggestions?? I inquired about adding Crystal Light to my water, but no one seems to like me and I didn’t get one response…. L   

 

Medicine Switcheroooo

My Dr moved me from Phendimetrazine to Phetermine HCL 30, I was starving big time. Well I did gain a pound back.. DAMN it. But it could have been much worse I guess. So I will get this pound off and MORE damn it!  OOOOO this poor roofer came into my office yesterday and asked if he could take vacation in September and I went PSYCHO! I was like, “ I DUNNO CAN YOU? DID YOU FILL OUT THE PROPER REQUEST FORM? DID YOU TURN IT IN TO ME? DID I APPROVE OF YOUR TIME OFF? DID I SAY YOU’D GET PAID?”  He was like OMG Dani I am sorry I meant to ask for the form…..  I apologized to him and said that Aunt Flow was coming to town any day and that I am stressed out and craving potato chips. And he literally said to me, “well have her stay at the Holiday Inn…”  I about died from laughter! He had no idea that Aunt Flow was T.O.M. He was so embarrassed afterwards that I even bad for breaking it to him…LOL
