I’m having roux-n-y gastric bypass surgery in just over 2 weeks, and now I’m starting to freak out a bit. The others on the Obesity Help forums tell me it’s perfectly natural and knowing everyone goes through it helps a bit, but I’m still freaked out.
I’m obsessing over various thoughts:
1.) Have I done enough to [...]
The Two Week Freak
The Old Endometrium is Looking Good
Just a quick update…. I had a follow-up ultrasound a couple weeks ago and then a follow-up appointment with another associate of that Dr who told me I “probably already had” cancer. The endometrial thickness is much reduced–that is to say my endometrial lining is much thinner than it was a year ago. That’s a [...]
FatLady Has a Jay o Bee!
Um yeah, I’ve been MIA from the blogosphere lately because I finally got a job. I won’t be discussing it here, except to say that I really like it and the people I’m working wiith. I’m only a “temp” right now but I hope to stay on for a long time.
There’s plenty of other stuff [...]
FatLady has a BooBoo
In addition to being hungry and crabby, I also had a stupid, clumsy accident a couple days ago; I twisted my ankle and fell down on both knees in the parking garage. I thought it was only twisted but after a day of trying really hard to ignore it, it was clear to me from [...]
FatLady on a Diet
I am so damn hungry, I might just lose my mind. 60 days of this hell? Sh*t! I need some effing help with this! I should not be this hungry. I’m not insulin-resistant to my knowledge. This is what happens every time I go on a G.D. diet. I’m hungry, I’m cranky and I [...]
Don’t Eat What You Don’t Love
As you might guess, I have have a subscription to O, The Oprah Magazine. O lives in my…uh…bathroom. I read a little here and a little there and I usually get through one month just in time for the next one to arrive in the mailbox.
I read, but I don’t always retain exactly what I’ve [...]
Whereupon She Decides to Have Weight Loss Surgery
If you’ve been reading this blog, you know I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on the subject since I went to the Bariatric Center in Rochester for a consultation with Dr. O’Malley.
Check out my Blogroll over here on the left and take a look at all the blogs dedicated to weight-loss, weight-loss surgery, [...]
FatLady Revisits the Uterus….
Yeah, well, not exactly, but….well I did revisit the gynecologist. Three months has past since I started taking the progesterone to treat my endometrial hyperplasia. I am not sure what effect it may have had on my too-thick uterine lining but it’s time to go back for a repeat TVU.
If it has improved, then yipee. [...]
Please Excuse the Interruption
FatLady found some work! Temporary. Just another week or so. Getting up at 5:45, hustling this big butt to the bus stop, sitting in a chair for 8 hours. All that has been kicking my ass. I’m tired. I’m waaaay behind on my Google Reader reading and my Blogroll has been neglected as well.
Hopefully I’ll [...]
ADHD Linked to Eating Disorders
Just a quick link to this piece on the CBC site. I’m dumbfounded.
