AJP got a reaction from Frustr8 in Discouragement about self-pay surgery in Tijuana
I have pcos. Diagnosed when I was 21. It will never get better on its own. For the first time in over 20yrs my sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure are finally normal again. Cycles are straightening out. No longer on metformin. This is just 4 months post op. Wish I had done it at your age!!! Very easy to gain weight. Swear I would gain 5 lbs over night and take a month to lose it if I could. Very happy with my body returning to what I remember!!!

My body is still large enough it makes me look like a Pearl- headed corsage pin.

But the stories! You can entertain people for hours with internet dating gone wrong tales! I’ve always considered that the silver lining of bad dates.

AJP reacted to MeanSleevedMachine in 61 lbs in 6 weeks!
I was 477 the day of my surgery (489 heaviest weight) and yesterday I went in for a blood pressure check up with my primary care doctor and was 416!!!
I had surgery on May 10. So about six weeks.
Granted I have been walking 5 miles a day. I’ve been waking up at 5 am and lifting weights five days a week for the last three weeks after I was cleared to lift.
I’ve been eating about 1200 calories a day. 120g of Protein or more a day.
Still is is almost too good to be true. I don’t weigh myself at home because I don’t want to be discouraged during stalls.

AJP reacted to Hop_Scotch in Dating
I put myself back out there this evening, on a dating site that is, wasn't quite brave enough to put my photo on there and have kept it private so I can choose who I share it with.
My most recent partner who I was with for almost ten years (went out separate ways about 20 months ago) I met online, so not a newcomer to online dating but do feel like it's all new again.

AJP reacted to Ed_NW in sugar levels after bypass
Fat cells are full of glucose. I think I read somewhere that your body will become fat adapted after being in ketosis for awhile. In the meantime, your body will be trying to work with straight glucose from your fat cells. Eventually the glucose from your fat cells will be converted to glycogen. Your body is just in shock mode now but will get it's act together soon.

AJP reacted to FaithandHope in Onederland what a difference 2 days make.
Ok so I know a lot of you don't weigh yourselves more then once a week. I usually weight myself about 3 times a week. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am actually losing weight ☺️ So I weighed myself on Friday I weighed the same as I had 2 days before 201... Today I got on the scale just knowing I must of gained after having stuff I should not of had at a party last night. Hey it is the season to Celebrate. To my astonishment the scale read 197 whoooohooooo. I have not seen anything under 200 in years.
I did a happy dance in the bathroom. I am so happy I took this journey. I'm getting my life back.

AJP got a reaction from Frustr8 in Losing the weight
I have pcos and the metabolic syndrome that goes with it. Down little over 70 lbs since August surgery. BP almost back to normal, a1c iz normal, cholesterol normal (1st time in 20 yrs), but the female pcos symptoms with cycles had come back in full force. My gyn said my body is doing the opposite of what they expected. Story of my life lol
