Four Months All Ready?!
Dec 19, 2008
I started eating eggs over easy. Well, just one egg, actually. It seems like when I eat an egg, the next morning, a pound slips away. I don't really tolerate the egg well, but I am in desperate need of protein. I usually have to have my rescue cracker after words to prevent vomiting. So, this month has been a good one for weight loss. I've now lost a total of 75 lbs.I do, of course, have a bitch. Well, two bitches rather. The first is that my nemesis constipation is back with a vengeance. Nothing is really working for me. Milk of Mag actually let me down. I am so damn fed up with constipation that it has really had me re-evaluating this surgery. Constipation is an everyday issue that prevents me from being normal. Every goddamn day I have to worry about what I'm eating and how it will effect my pooping. I get my fluids in easily due to the fear of adding to the constipation issue. Nothing like fear to drive you into submission.
The second bitch is on a larger scale. I've been on my period for...well....ever? I would comfortably say that in the last 4 months since surgery, I've bled 80% of the time. I doubled up on my iron pills for a while and had labs drawn to make sure I wasn't anemic or anything. I wasn't. My normal doc is out for a medical emergency, so I've been seeing a temp guy. He put me on BCPs, Yaz. It doesn't really do anything to stop my bleeding. He gave me Provera eventually and it stopped for a few days, but it's back now. He now wants to discuss my options, which include high doses of hormones that I can not in any way tolerate or ablation, which obliterates any chances of a baby. I hate both options, so I haven't gone back yet. I'm waiting for it to stabilize on my own and for my regular doc to come back so I can get a second opinion. Good idea or lack or reality??
I have dizzy spells often and am quite fatigued. Whether it's from the surgery or the periods, I don't know. Yesterday I went to the gym for the first time in a month because I've felt so tired and worn down. I couldn't finish my workout, but it's a start. And for some reason, my pouch has been a raving bitch all week. Maybe she's on her period, too. I barfed the last two days like a mad woman on stuff I've been eating all along.
I'm not as upbeat as usual, but hormones make me mean, so I think that has a lot to do with it. I'm still so grateful for the weight loss and even through all of this crap that makes me crazy and miserable, can you believe I'm still happy? What a masochist I am.
