I feel like I am posting a lot, but I just had to share a few more victories! I hope everyone isn't getting sick of all my posts

So, tonight I figured out how much weight I have lost in a percentage. I have lost 20% of my body weight!!!!!!!!! That is so awesome to think of it that way, and I am only a little over 2 months post-op.

Not sure if this is NSV or not, but it shows that I am getting healthier everyday. For probably 2.5 years, I did not have a period. Instead, I would bleed ALL the time. It was horrible!!! I went to a GYN but felt like she blew me off. She put me on meds which made me want to kill someone so I stopped taking them. I just put up with it for tooooooo long! So, after surgery, I stopped bleeding for a while and I was SOOOOO excited. Then, I started to bleed again after a few weeks. It was horrible heavy. I almost went to the ER it was so bad one day. Then, it stopped again after 6-7 days like a normal period. Then, I didn't have any bleeding for 30 days!!!! WOOOOHOOOO. I had a normal period this week that lasted about 6 days, and it wasn't heavy like last time. Sorry if this is TMI, but I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited. I went to a new GYNO before surgery, and she didn't know if I had something going on or if it was just because of my weight. She said sometimes you can bleed because people with more fat produce more estrogen and that makes you bleed non-stop. Not sure what it was, but pretty sure its nothing serious or nothing I need to take any meds for!! I think my body is finally getting back to normal!!!!!!!! :) :)

Oh yah, I guess this is another NSV. I have been off my BP meds since a few weeks post-op, and no more diuretics either! I don't have pitting edema in my legs anymore Gosh, so much is happening so soon after surgery, and I am still very overweight at 296 pounds.... wonder how great it will be when I get to goal!?!?!?!

Sarah I am so happy for you. You are doing AMAZING! It is great that your body is getting back to normal. I can't wait to hear about your next victory.

Great victories! You are doing so great!

Sarah!!! I'm SUPER happy for you! EVERY NSV deserves to cherished and shared! You are a true inspiration to us here So... THANK YOU!!!!!!

Keep um coming girlie!!

Those are all amazing and having bleeding constantly has to be the biggest pain in the butt plus it is just plain not "normal", I am glad you are getting all your systems back on track that is great news. Top it off with losing that percentage of weight and getting off some meds, is never tiring for me to hear. Keep sharing it is those things that are personal to our situation that make them so sweet. TWO THUMBS UP AND A VIRTUAL HIGH FIVE

way to GO!!!! What a relief for you Im sure!! great to hear how well u are doing! keep it up!!

Share away girl! That's what this site is all about and I am thrilled for you! Keep them coming! Hugs!

Those are AMAZING NSV's! It's downright dangerous to have non-stop periods due to the blood loss. It's great that your cycle seems back to normal. And your BP getting back to normal is just as amazing. Congrats.
