Thank you Suzanne and Crimson Kittie- thats exactly how I felt too!
Well, it's been a very busy week here in Cali. I made a list last weekend of all the crazy projects that NEEDED to be finished before my surgery, and I've been knocking them off the list one by one. I've been raking, pick-axing huge plants and weeds, cutting down trees to make room for new ones, planting said new trees, hauling gravel, stacking firewood, moving boxes, etc, etc, etc... Tonight I got to finish hanging up some fun decorative porch lights that have been sitting and calling my name for weeks! The dogs have been getting lots of time to sun-bathe and play in the yard and I've been sweating buckets! I am still having a very hard time trying to lose this 10lbs my surgeon suggested I lose. I'm a little worried about it.... But I haven't gained so that's good, right?
I'm not sure that there's much else to report. I will say I am looking forward very much to being able to move around, bend over, weed my garden and plant my plants without having to hitch up my pants or pull down my shirt all the time.... UUGGGH! So sick of all these rolls that get in my way!
On a side note (& a very personal one at that) I switched my birth control from a low-dose pill to the Depo shot at the end of May. This was 2-fold. First, to be certain and avoid all pregnancies due to a missed/late pill, and Secondly, to avoid any extra risk of blood clots after surgery. I was on the Depo shot for about 5-6 years and I loved it- no periods, no bloating, no PMS EVER!!
The bad news now that I have switched back to it is that, well.... I have NO libido. None. I must say my other half is not impressed. But here is the other conundrum- My Surgeon says I can go back on the pill after surgery, so I could start it again the first of September (Depo lasts 3 months). However, they also say to absolutely avoid pregnancy until you are close to or at goal, and that your fertility can go way up after the major weight loss.... So I am a little scared to go back to the pill because I am kind of a bad pill taker. I'm often several hours late taking it (or a day...). Hmmm... But having no libido is no fun either. Who in their right mind Doesn't Want to Want it? Or wants to not want it?? lol.
Anyways, any advice? Anyone else had to face a similar choice, or on Depo, etc?
Happy Father's Day to all the Daddies out there....
