bazoooms

when i was in my 20's and looked best in my life, men were NASTY to me==you wouldn;t believe some of the stuff i'd hear walking down the street...i gained weight, got old and frumpy, and it was a relief not to have to deal with that kind of rude attention that i got when i looked the best i ever had. i became invisible and it was a definite improvement. some years later i took a course with a beatiful girl who was an exotic dancer. she said as a dancer, the better you look, the nastier men treat you! she would dress down and leave off her makeup to avoid being hassled when she3 wasn;t working. so men are incomprehensible LOL anyway...see if there is a pattern of where you are when guys are checking you out. you will probably meet very different quality of men in a library or church than in a mall or club...and as you said, your in a lot of changes right now and if feeling unsure better to skip guys for a while. insecurity and neediness draws undesirables like blood in the water draws sharks.

i have this going on too..it seems to be gradually getting better...heat and activity increase it. wondered if it was just me!

tons of omega 3's helped me somewhat for a while along with the nsaids. unfortunately tylenol never did anything for me for period pain. eventually endometriosis got so bad i was taking post op strength hydrocodone (?) after hysterectomy i needed less pain med immediately post op than on any typical menstrual day!!!

totally agree!!! these folks take awesome care of you and are so nice =) it was a great experience. tijuana is an interesting city, makes the walking fun.

if you're sick of the shakes, you can put Protein powder in sf pudding, i have also mixewd it with pnut butter to make something that resembles the inside of a pb cup or like a homemade pnut butter Protein Bar. i put it in my coffe with some shole milk powder and splenda and it makes a passable latte type drink. that said, i'm not sick of shakes yet, but i am mostly a food -as -fuel kind of person. also i have never had such amazing nails in my life =)

CANNOT keep chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream in the house. it's my kryptonite--i overeat it every time. and i eat it till its GONE. everything else i can pretty much do in moderation.

hi c dominguez, i had a lot of hunger pangs (as in most of the time and waking me up at night) till i recently began eating solid foods. also don;t know if this had anything to do with it but i was keeping my carbs way down. but doing the liquid diet is important so your innards can heal up. hang in there!

if you have been taking b12 supplememnts, some people don;t respond to the most common one used in shots and subliguals/pills...there is another type of b12 that works better for some people, cant remember right now what it is though. major life changes can make you very mentally fatigued--it's a profound type of tired...similar to nthe fatigue you feel when actively grieving. you are having to change the way you think about everything. it's hard work.

okay, had my first cup of coffee this morning (with vanilla Protein powder and milk, natch) felt on top of the world, made myself a big to do list for the day...and only got 2 things done LOL but took morning walk before anything. after that, went to an appointment, then alternated resting and doing a little bit the rest of the day, just had my 1st 2 bites of not liquid food--cottage cheese. what i normally would have inhaled in less than a minute...is still on my plate waiting to be eaten 5 minutes later. so far so very, very good. what would i do different? gotten a carry on bag with wheels--my carry on was way heavier than i was supposed to carry and i think that contributed to my discomfort--make that moderate misery--on the flight(s) back. would not have used my very heavy, powerful, self propelled vacuum cleaner this morning--could feel all my core muscles engaging and felt pretty yucky for a while afterward. at the contrast x ray i tossed that contrast liquid down in one big gulp. very bad decision. wound up having to take a double dose. diarrhea is a major side effect. does not play nice with walking alking walking round town.... i would have brought actual walking shoes, didn;t understand the meaning of walking walking walking, figured i'd be strolling hospital corridors like i have after previous surgeries here in the states. and wore crocs. wound up with a big ole blister. while also having diarrhea. wound up missing a day of town walking. no fun. i would have brought sunscreen--again figured i'd be walking indoors and wouldn;t need it. would have left my most of my reading material at home. heavy books that i was too tired to concentrate on and read., except for the flight out. not worth the weight in the carry on. 1 week post op
