15th wk post-op: V-Day, Doc Visit, "the Piercer" & PMS
Feb 20, 2010
Hello everyone,As you can read from the title of this blog, A LOT is going to be discussed so let me get started:
Valentines Day <3
So in order for you guys to understand why this day was eventful, i have to give some background info...
1st off it is important for me to mention that i am a newly wed but i dont live with my husband. In fact, we only shared a couple of hours before and after our wedding (maybe 6 hrs total) and before you go making any crazy scenarios in your head, I will explain:
I am a very impulsive individual and while normally i don't mind it, this time it got me married. Yes, i married because i thought for one second that it would be a great idea. My husband (i'm still not used to saying this) lives in Mexico and during my vacations there about a month ago, we got together. We had been a couple before when we were both younger and ended up staying as friends but now when we met again some sparks flew and we got married "Las Vegas" style. We went to a townhall, picked up some witnesses on the way there and signed a paper. This was on Jan. 14th 2010.
SO on V-day i recieved a package with no return address only my name and my address. I opened it and inside was a BEAUTIFUL diamond engagement ring. Since my husband and me have been in communication through the phone, we had talked about the situation we were in and mutually agreed that maybe we had rushed into things and he had started to file for an ANNULMENT of our marriage. For this reason, i didn't believe that this could be his doing. But later on that day i received a call from him and he said that we wanted me to wear the ring and think about giving "us" a chance. We talked a bit more and it is a fact that we are getting our marriage annuled ASAP but we would still give each other a chance at having a relationship. Maybe it will work out for the future <3
Overall, getting a ring from him wasn't what shocked me the most but the fact that he wants "us" to work at what we could have is really something that was meaningful to me because i know that he cares enough to respect my wishes and loves me enough to not give up
Doctor Visit 2/17/10
I had my 3 month post op visit with my doctor and was weighed in....drum roll please: I am still 190lbs. I have been stuck between 190-195lbs for the past 4 wks. So i wasn't so happy but overall i know that i am doing relatively well so i will try not to concentrate so much on the numbers on the scale but on my health. I also got some blood work done in order to make sure everything is in order and i will be getting those results next wednesday.
Overall, the doc said i'm doing great, to get some more excercise and continue putting in the effort. Yey!...
"THE PIERCER"
The thursday after my doctor's visit, i decided that i wanted to go get another piercing (impulsivity!!). I asked my mother if she wanted to come along and surprisingly she said yes (she normally doesn't encourage so much "body art"). There really isn't anything more eventful about the piercing other then i love it but here is the interesting fact: The piercer was hitting on me!!!
I'm not the kind that has a low self esteem, but i was kind of schocked when the piercer looked me in the eyes (as he was about to put the needle through my lip) and said "you know, you are really pretty. You should call me sometime." I said "sure" while i was really thinking, if anything i'll call for another piercing but oh no, his plans were otherwise. He gave me his number and asked me to call him so that he could have my number.
So we sealed the deal and i went home and after and hour or so, he texted me. At this moment, all im thinking is, he must like the "bigger" women and i told my mom as a form to make conversation and she told me, "NO, maybe you are just not as "big" as you think yourself to be". And oh my god, she is right. My mind still hasn't caught on to the fact that i am smaller then i was before. I'm not stick-skinny nor do i want to be but i guess, everytime i look in the mirror, i still see the old me, the 250lbs me. I guess i have to start thinking of the new me and let the old me go!
PMS
Before surgery, i rarely got my period. In fact, i would get it once every 3-4 months. After surgery i have gotten it in Nov. twice in December, none in Jan and now in Feb. it came with vengence!!!
So i got my period on the 16th and for 3 days straight, i have been bleeding very heavy and have horrible cramps. It got to the point where i didn't wan to be outside in fear that i might over bleed onto my jeans. Honestly, i have never had such bad cramps.
LUCKILY, today the bleeding has decreased by half and thank god because i was about to head over to the emergency rm in my hospital. As a result from my PMS, i had to buy some new jeans and was greeted with the nice surprise that i now am a size 11 in jeans!
Also i stepped on the scale and it finally said something other then 190...i am now 185lbs. So i lost 5 lbs in 3-4 days, maybe it was all weight in blood or because i wasn't really eating since i was in pain but the fact is i am down from 190.
Finally...the conclusion
I will end my blog here because i realize it has been a lot but i will be back during the week just to update on my blood results and maybe post up a pic of my ring!
I knew life would change after WLS, i just hadn't thought about how big the changes would be!
