Our journey is slightly different after 50 and I thought it would be a great thing to start a group that dealt with issues 50+. Feel free to come join the group. No one will be excluded but it is going to be a majority of 50+ journeys. Pre and Post op are welcome and would love to have some Veterans too! Here is the link to the group:

I'd like to join, but it looks like this is not a secret group-correct?

I have a question for all of you regarding horomone replacement. Did you stop taking it after surgery? I was put on it last November and it has cause spotting every month and that was the one good thing about being menopausal! I don't like it and think I'm going to stop it and wondered if all the hormone changes with surgery makes a difference?

I haven't been through menopause yet but when I do I plan on using bio identical. I can't see why it would be a bad thing as it's a natural hormone in our bodies already.

Thanks for the response. I hear a lot of changes happen after surgery and wonder if it will be even necessary.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
