Topic: RE: Finding my knees
Hi Heidi,
I understand exactly what your saying. All of a sudden I have bones sticking out in weird places.....lol. The other night my boyfriend was rubbing my lower back and all of a sudden he says "OMG... whats that lump?" He scared me for a minute..... then we figured out it was my tailbone....
Who knew I had one!
Have faith girl.... you will be wearing a mini skirt before you know it!

Topic: Water Pills?
My surgeons office told me if I wanted to try a water pill like Diurex this time with my period I could. They didn't say it would be guaranteed to make keep losing while my monthly visitor is here, but it could help. I started it today. I took one after breakfast this morning and notice that I seem to be going to the bathroom a little more. If this is going to help with the water weight gain, bloating, etc when should I notice? I usually weigh when I get up in the am. I weighed this morning and if this works I hope to have lost a pound or two by in the morning. Is one day too soon for it to help?
Thanks

Heidi,
I was bummed about having them so close together but it has worked out. I feel tons better now. Before I was bleeding and in pain 20-25 days a month and had terrible migraines along with it. Now no bleeding and no pain and just one migraine in 5 weeks. Thanks for the support~

Topic: RE: Sudden case of the stupids????
Heidi-
Of course I am laughing at myself-I have the funniest life of anyone I know. Your talking to a person who got stuck in a hot tob when I leaned back against the recirculating drain-I had a 4 in round hickey...lol.
I am glad I am not the only one going around like an airhead forgetting I had surgery!!! It seems bad enough when I pull on my comfy pair of sweats and they immediately fall back down around my ankles, or the time I stepped back from a door thinking someone was coming out-only to discover it was my own reflection...hahahaha, but to order something LOADED with sugar without thinking-jeez!
take care,
Becky
Topic: Finding my knees
I'm sitting hear reading the boards and when I look down at my legs I can actually see some knee bone sticking out. LOL
Now listen, I have not had knees for 30 years! My weight has all been below the waist for the most part. I remember that I wouldn't even wear shorts in high school because my knees were so ugly! My sister weighed about what I weighed but her weight is in her upper body and she has always had beautiful, shapely legs!
I would love to wear a mini-skirt some day. Maybe for my birthday in December!
Hugggs and blessings,
Heidi

How nice to have someone who knows how to treat you special! Hang on tight to him. I bet that was fun "getting reacquainted" in the cabin! Congratulations on the weight loss!
Take care,
