May 24 Surgery Day

[summerset 5,261]

*sigh*

I'll just wait and see. Hubby says to be patient, it was like a "little surgery". I guess he's right.

Lol.. yes.. but I should also tell you that my sister, who has a child... Got the Mirena, also, about 3 weeks or so ago.. and she loves it. I think maybe it hurt me because I don't have children yet.. who knows for sure. I really hope you love it too.. but it wasn't for me.

That's good your sister is satisfied with the choice. I took a bit of magnesia and a pain pill and will sleep a little bit on the sofa. Just called in sick.

I have had my Mirana for 3 years and love it! I do remember some discomfort after it was placed. I really never have a period except after this surgery and after I went on blood thinners after my blood clots.

How long did you notice the discomfort? It's still the same feeling I had when the gyno pulled at my uterus - just by far not as painful.

[Lindsey Skinner Abbott 97]

It wasn't longer than a few days. I don't remember missing work so it couldn't have lasted that long.

Ok, it seems to be better already now.

How are all you May 24thers doing?

I'm feeling so amazing!!! I bought new cloths and I cannot believe I fit in a size 7/8 jeans now. NEVER in a million years did I think that could happen! I've been getting out of the house more and enjoying life. I feel like I can carry my granddaughter all day long now.

I've not introduced any carbs in my diet....so do any RNY people eat wraps yet?

I feel ok so far. Still a bit low in energy. Not sure why, as the labs are ok.

I am feeling very good! I am down 45lbs since surgery...I was really hoping to hit the 50 mark at three months but don't think that is going to happen. I defiantly have a lot more energy. We went hiking on the Oregon Trail today and I rocked the 180 degree incline. People at work are noticing my weight lose. I didn't tell everyone but I have had several compliments on looking healthy lol. They k ow something is different about me but can't put their finger on it. Pup that is awesome that you are already in a size 7! I don't know if I will ever get that far down! I am down to a size 18 from 22 so not where I want to be but defiantly a start!

You will get there! Funny, people would ask me if I got my hair colored, or thought I looked different because I had make up on....they couldn't figure it out either. Just in the past two weeks people have been really noticing.

I can see why ones energy could be low with the small amount of food we eat?

I thought I was eating like a pig... But my doctor said I'm not eating enough and I'm losing weight way too fast... ????

It only concerns me because what if when I'm done losing weight, I can't stop.

Might be. I notice this low energy especially on weekends or when coming home after a work day, especially when I was on-call the night before.

Getting up in the morning is harder than ever. On Saturdays and Sundays I lay down for a nap on the couch (Oh well, just 30 min or so...) and often sleep for 2 hours straight.

People talk a lot about having so much more energy. Not me (at least not yet).

I didn't worry about too many things prior to surgery but losing too much weight was a concern of mine. I'm getting close to my goal and wondered what I am going to do different in order to stop losing. I'm never hungry, I eat because I'm suppose to and I eat until I'm full.... I have not tried anything really but meat...a little veggies and a little fruit.

I know they say our hunger and cravings will eventually kick back in. I think I read between 6 months to a year...does that sound right?

I'm actually setting at docs office right now for a check up...im gonna ask what approach I take to stop losing and when the heck I can have a glass of wine...lol. at this point, I would settle for a thimble full.
