  1. Mine started the day I got home from the hospital. It has been the worst one I have had in years with horrible cramps. It's no fun, especially since I was already in pain.
  2. I had surgery on Monday and was discharged today.

  4. I had surgery 1/7, everything went well. Had some blood pressure problems during and after due to anesthesia. Also something I hadnt heard anyone say but my nurses have said is pretty common is that you may need insulin while in the hospital because your blood sugar levels can be high from lack of food. I have had to have shots every 6 hours for it.

  6. Congratulations on your date!I know for me, that was a huge sense of relief to have a date. I also have PCOS, which is why I am on this journey. I am also having the surgery to help treat infertility. Its crazy hearing doctors recommend birth control for the first 2 years after having such issues trying to conceive for 5years.

I havent cheated but I feel like I havent lost as much weight as I should have. 8 lbs since 12/28, seems great in theory but i am terrified the dr will to open. Anyone else experience this?

  13. My surgery is Monday, I have been getting prepared (mentally, and shopping for post op supplies). I am getting nervous not so much about having surgery (1st time for me) but about recovery. I am a wimp when it comes to pain. I know that the pain will subside, just been worried about it. This has been a yearlong process, a longtime goal, and I am so excited to start a healthier lifestyle. I am on day 8 of my liquid diet, i am so happy that my stomach and my mind seemed to be adjusting.

  19. I picked up some of these too. I also get appetizer size plates and bowls, because they are small.
