One Month......please hold!

My official "One Month" post op date was July 2nd (yesterday) but......I am not weighing for a couple of days this week.  Hormonal, bloated, and feeling yucky so will wait till that TOM passes.  This is my first TOM since surgery and it has been a rough 2 weeks with it all. HORRID! Constant cramps, SEVERE back pain, nausea, etc etc.  Oh and quite irritable!  Like CRAZY stressed feeling.  Kinda scary and I didn't like it.

I didn't take my "homone helper" (the pill) this month since I was trying to keep as much medicine out of my new tummy while I healed. I've been having major irregularity and hormone issues for a few years now.  I was put on the pill a while ago to try to help my hormones/cycle regulate.  Body is starting to not function quite correctly and the mere mention of early menopause by the doc FREAKED me out.  All my docs kept telling me it could be weight related.  Not sure it is but could be and there is plently of research out there to indicate the correlation between obesity and hormone issues.  So......another reason for the weight loss surgery.  Beside needing to get healthier this was the second main reason I wanted to have the surgery.  My OBGYN and I have discussed several times about me having a hysterectomy because the hormones and cycle have gotten so horrible.  YES!!!  Taking out the plumbing.  I was very close to doing it this summer. At age 40 without any children....that is a big decision.  So, I decided having weight loss surgery was a much better option with A LOT more benefits.  May not fix the female issues and I really don't know if I want to have children but won't matter because I will be healthier regardless!! However, I am soooooooo happy to get back on the "hormone helper" pill this month. 

Sorry but not weighing this week.  I haven't weighed since Saturday (June 30th).  That means as far as I know I am still hanging in at a 29 pound loss.  I am sooooooo hoping for good news when I do weigh later this week. 

I will take pics too.  I have GOT to find someone to do my measurements so I can keep up from now on.  My pants are literally falling off of me.  That means the inches are melting.  Hard to tell how I feel right now because I feel like female, hormonal crap!! 

I am going to see spend 4th on July on the lake tomorrow with one of dearest friends and her family.  Really trying to decide what I need to take to eat and what I want to attempt to eat.  This new lifestyle really really requires planning.  I will find something yummy, cute and fun to take!!
