  1. I have to inject myself daily for 6 weeks with Lovenox because I had cancer and finished cancer treatment? did anyone else have to do this Why did you? And any sideeffects? The best thing I see is that Ill have no worries about blood clots so its like being extra safe cause my body has been through so much I know it will take me longer to heal.

  6. Hi wow what a journey. Thanks for the heads up on the belly fat. I didn't have breast cancer I had Soft Tissue Sarcoma in my breast its a rare cancer that attacks my soft tissue. My doc said (and before I say what he said I just want to make clear I love joking around and do not take things personally and love the truth. So my oncologist and I have a very good relationship). my doc said I'm a walking soft tissue and we need to lower my chances of getting cancer again (my fat of course being the soft tissue) When he said that we laughed but because he put it so bluntly and in the manner that I speak he didn't have to convince me I was 100% in I trust him. I did my homework on him before hand and hand picked him so here I am. I found out I had cancer Jan 11, 2017 Radical mastectomy Jan 19, 2017 Emergency surgery hematoma Jan 19, 2017 37 High dose Radiation treatment AIM chemotherapy 4 rounds each round 3 days 10 hours a day (maximum of chemo allowed in a human I'm not allowed to get chemo anymore ) Now I'm just like recovering living my "new" normal I take care of my body more and now its time for the sleeve surgery. I had a goal so I never got depressed even though plenty of family and friends left my life after my diagnose and everything started to get real. I forgive them but this weight loss surgery has me scared because I feel like my fun chubby self will be gone is like who will I be if i already think I'm the sexiest thing alive will I get worse? Sounds like a weird question but I'm so happy with my 4 kids and my gorgeous husband I feel like we had so much change and it shook our foundation when I got sick cause I'm the one that held things together but I'm proud to say My husband, kids and parents did a wonderful job I love and adore and am grateful to them forever. Its like I'm content and now I have to change that is my fear but with this sight I'm changing my fear into excitement and i know i need to increase my chances of living a longer life so I'm all in. Thank you for being all in with me. I feel incredibly supported sometimes its hard to explain to people in my life what I'm going through because they cant put themselves in that situation. Our experiences bring us together I hope to help other people stay positive and not depressed as 95% of people I met in my cancer journey were depressed I was laughing it up and joking and chilling netflix and chemo chilling lol all that. I guess i'm having a dear diary moment and I apologize for the TMI and the inner workings of myself. Looking Forward to life.
  7. Absolutely agree. You cant change him or anyone for that matter, you can only change yourself. You have to put yourself and love yourself first in order to be a whole person and love your spouse. Our spouses are not there to fill in the gaps or "make us complete" we have to complete ourselves first and empower ourselves in order for others to treat us the way we treat ourselves. People bring baggage to every relationship daddy, mommy, weight, kids issues.
  8. Muscle Milk ?!? lol chocolate or vanilla you are too much lol. I meant do you argue more or are more sexually aroused with spouse. Argue more because you cant turn to food anymore. I feel like Ill be a sex addict if I dont have food
  9. I just wanna say if you think your beautiful you are beautiful. I love myself I think Im super sexy at 286 pounds I just had cancer my bra size is 38G and I had to get a radical mastectomy so basically im missing one boob and bald. I have sex with my husband 3 times a week he thinks Im super sexy. People tell me Im lucky to have him I say its not luck when I was dating 17 years ago I knew I wanted someone who would love me for me me. Most guys at that time loved me for my body I was 140 then. When I met my husband we fell in love immediately I didnt compromise my standards. Moral of the story love yourself I love my body and every dimple so when i go out into the world bald and one boob missing guys find me attractive because I know Im attractive. Change your mindset fall in love with yourself then God then all else will follow. Good Luck TMI yeah my bad lol
  10. Curious to know if your sex life changed after surgery? Did you get more aggressive an attitude?
