Did I Ever Mention That I Wish I Wasn't A Girl?



Recommended Posts

So I was doing sooo well! Almost met my second 10 lbs loss goal for the 7/4 challenge...then mother nature stepped in and decided that this month not only would I have my cycle but I would retain a crap load of Water and pack on 13 lbs! SERIOUSLY! I know it is only water but my scale doesn't know the difference! Just soo irritating! I have been drinking water like a mad woman and not expelling near enough...even the lasik that the doctor has me on isn't helping!

Wow! That is maddening! I'm shocked that the Lasix isn't working- I hope you get relief ASAP!! Good luck!

it will come off soon enough. just keep smiling and dont stress yourself out over it. I always would drop about 8 pounds in the week after my tom for the first 5 months. good luck! :D

Yeah... it sucks. But you know what it is so move past it. I gain about 10 lbs once a month :( It sucks but at least I know it goes away!

I just had surgery on the 8th of June, and it's my tom now. I'm still losing weight but verrrry slowly. I used to put on about 10lbs a month and lose it the next week, so this is something new for me.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
