Personal questionfor the ladies



Recommended Posts

I hope this isn't too personal. My surgery is scheduled for 9/20 and I just realized I will/should be on day 2 of my period on 9/20. Question, do you think my surgery will be postponed because of this?

Nope. It doesn't matter to your surgeon. Probably make you wear a pad instead of a tampon, though, but that's okay because after surgery getting a tampon in and out would hurt (the bending over, you know).

I was really worried about this as well. I *know* that it won't matter, but I am super modest and it was horrifying to me to think that I would have it at the same time as my surgery... but luckily I got it early :) My surgery is in a week (exactly!) so I know I'm good!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
