So you are saying I probably have another week of this? Oh my goodness! Tampons and pads cost too much to have to buy so many in such a short amount of time.

I had a two and a half week break, then it started up again, and it is HEAVY! Like, changing tampons EVERY HOUR! Crazy. So, after getting annoyed of going to Walgreens practically every day, I went to costco and got me MAJOR boxes of tampons and pads. I'm pretty sure I have a three month supply. (Embarassingly enough, on my way out the door, I saw my boss's boss... so bad, but who cares, I have a BOATLOAD!) :smile2:

Good luck slim... I feel ya.

Oh man...I've never had a problem with my period...even with PCOS. I have always gotten my period every 28 days...UNTIL NOW! I've had my period five times in 2 months. I went to see my ob/gyn two weeks ago and she said that it was normal and went on to explain that the drastic fluxuation in estrogen levels causes it and will eventually stablize. I thought it was going to start again yesterday, but I only spotted for a few hours.

costco was a GREAT deal too, about half (or even less) than in the regular stores. I spend 12 dollars for 84 tampons... Tampax Pearl, my fave's.

Thanks, I will go to our Sam's Club and get their huge box. I hadn't thought of that. I buy Tampax Pearl, too. I will be really glad when this part is OVER!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
