ATTACK OF THE VEGGIES...

had the follow up to the surgery...on the inside everything looks good and all ranges are in the normal areas - except one...lol...of course...so...i have to finish up the meds that im on this month and switch to a liquid form and see how i react to this new one...two of the main side effects are headaches and join pain - i have migrains and ostiopenia...go figure...

as the doc as giving me the results we were talking about other things and i explained to him that in the 3 weeks before surgery i was off the meds and the menopause symptoms came back full strength, however i lost about 9 pounds...and since last week when i went back on them i am up about 6 of those again...what gives and can we work around that...he explained to me that with the conditions that i have right now and the meds that i will be trying - i have a decision to make...

which do i want to control the weight or the symptoms...he would help with whichever one...but make my decision - than he got up and left...lol...

when he came back i told him i will take the weight gain please control the symptoms..i have more control over my diet than i do my insides - he looked at me stunned - in over 35 years of practice only 5 or so people have made that choice...

so the bottom line is...i might go back up - I WILL CONTROL IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY (with my husbands nagging - i gave him permission) AND I WILL LOSE IT ASAP...

on the other fronts, marriage is good...dogs are good...church is good...computer learning curve is slowing down...I REALLY CANNOT COMPLAIN ABOUT MY LIFE...to borrow from vicki...IMLUUVD...

awwwww, yes you are loved! If anyone can control their weight while on meds, I know it will be you. You can do it. I have TOTAL faith in you. We need to get you a license plate that says "Imluvd2" :-)

since you're in another state maybe you could get one just like mine? If I had the choice Id have picked ImLoved, you should see if thats available. ;-)

i will do that...

gosh i can't imagine having to make that decision... is it the meds he orders will make do one not the other? the important thing is you do know how to control your diet and are confidant you can... just focus on you now. YOU have to come first.

the issue with the meds is that my body adjusts very quickly to what i injest...so this is a liquid that you spray on your arm and it is supposed to be taken in directly by the blood and therefore not processed in the liver...so with the liver processing the low blood pressure meds and then the blood getting the full amount of the estrogen - the weight gain is unavoidable...

Between a rock and a hard place. FWIW-I think you made the right choice.

isn't that what susan summers did on the oprah show or she does shots? i forget... how does she stay thin. oh wait. did you see that show? she is on a strict diet/excercise! research your options all you can before you start.

I'm also in a similar situation (but with PCOS not menopause). My medication and condition makes it very hard to control my weight, but I'd rather not be crazy and have healthy insides than loose weight easier. I think you made a great choice and stick to it! Wishing you all the best!

I'd also like to add how proud I am of your decision. Of course you're like one in a million, I knew that!

I think you made the right choice. You are a wise woman and I wish you all the best with keeping your weight off.

I am glad to hear you are doing well and that everything came back ok. I can understand the frustration of having to choose weight loss or symptom control. It is not easy but knowing you are eating healthy and making healthy choices matters so much! I know I sound like a broken record but while the weight loss is nice it is so important to eat healthy and make better choices no matter what the scale may say.

I think you made the right decision. And yes, we gotta think about the good we have in life at all times...so as to not lose sight of ourselves when things don't go as planned. You are definitely loved by many many here, too! Don't ever forget that! xoxoxo.

It's good to see you counting your blessings - it's a great habit to get into for all of us! I think you made the right decision, too. You are strong woman who can do what needs to be done with the eating and exercise. URLUUUVD! :)
