Thank you sooooooooo much for your help........If you EVER have anything to say...recommend, what ever.....post it.....and I'll keep progress. Do you have a trainer or do you pretty much do your own thing?

No problem sweetie.|
Originally posted by BabsieGirl No problem sweetie. I've learned from my mistakes......It's just most everyone is in such a hurry to get somewhere. Especially me. Wanting to stay in shape and be the best I can, has taken it's toll on me. All my life I've been athletic and in shape. Mostly due to my father being hard on me. Which is probably why I'm still hard on myself. Sometimes I just feel like I'm never gonna make it and other days I feel like I'm there...........Trying to stay in shape mentally is rough for me. I'm torn in multiple directions. I love my father. he's my role model. But nothing is ever good enough for him until it's too late. Work harder, harder, harder.....don't give up........drill after drill after drill.....This is what I caught growing up. That is my problem. My entire life, I've been pushed to the max. Allowing this to happen as I was younger because I had no choice, but to listen and obey. Today I have a choice. The hard part.....is getting how I was raised..........out of my head when it comes to being athletic............I consider this "hobby" a sport...therefore, to me.......this is athletic abilities, etc...... Did any of that make sense? |
You're an easy person to talk to and it's nice, sharing relations of similar issues........

Originally posted by BabsieGirl Sweetie, this all made perfect sense. It's also nice knowing I'm not alone out here wondering if anyone else grew up like this and has shaken the pattern. I don't think there is a way to shake from me, being that it's been drilled in my head since 7years old............"The of age to play sports in Daddy eyes!" Atherjen, thanks a million. You're an easy person to talk to and it's nice, sharing relations of similar issues........

I hope to never be that way with my children(when I have them.. lol) Hope you have a wonferful day

Originally posted by Stacey Hey Babs!!! I didn't know you have Endo. I have it too!! Mine is a level 4-- the worst I think--unless there are 5 levels now. I HATE IT.. Like you when it hits I'm bedridden after work, and pretty much when I'm at work I'm not moving around much. When are you having surgery?? Which one you having?? I hate the pain-- I have been having horrible cramps for the past 2 months every day in the afternoon--- I hope I don't have to have surgery anytime soon. I have had it twice, this past one was in July. Anyway- Just wanted you to know I'm here for you, I know what kind of pain your going through, and I'm sorry

. Don't know which level mine is at. When mine hits, I have 2 hours to get crap done at work and get the heck home in a hurry. I can't concentrate. Last time, I left work in tears! I'm a wreck the first day. I have no problems the rest of my days. Which, aren't long! Maybe 2 days.|

He's not going to remove anything if he doesn't have to. Mostly, he wants to go in and take a look around and remove the scarring. Which surgery did you have? Have you told your doctor you're still having pains? Right now I'm on Darvesets (however you spell it) and the strongest BCP that is made. I'm sorry you have to go through this mess too. It's hard. My husband and I had to make a decision yesterday........"do we or do we NOT want to have anymore children?" Soooooooo hard. |
Sucks. I want to have the surgery (crazy huh--but I know it gets rid of the pain) but I want to wait until after my comp in May.
I'M A FEIN!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it'll give my hubby a break Then I saw........NO BATHING FOR TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!! Um hello.....I'm not stinking!..............This calls for sponge duty by my hubby

Originally posted by BabsieGirl I KNOW!!!!!!!!!! Especially men I hate walking up to my boss at work saying: "I have to leave RIGHT NOW or I'm gonna barf every where, pass-out, etc....because I started my P!" It's at least once a month! After you had your D&C and Laparascopy, how long did it take for you to get back into the gym? I was reading all the information my doctor gave me and it said not to lift anything over 15lbs for two weeks and no lifting the first week of recovery.........DUDE!!!!! No love making either for 2 weeks I'M A FEIN!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it'll give my hubby a break Then I saw........NO BATHING FOR TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!! Um hello.....I'm not stinking!..............This calls for sponge duty by my hubby

sucks!!! But We will try

I train people but I don't consider myself a PT. Planning on competing this year? |

Originally posted by Stacey After my D&C and Laparascopy my dr told me No cardio for 3 weeks and no weights for a month. (IF I remember right--but I'm quite postive) SUCKS I know!! Man, this is going to be the pits! Interesting how doctors are dif. these days. Three weeks huh.....You know, I bet mine said a couple weeks is because, he's assuming everything could go well and he'll have removed very little? I don't know. Know I'm worried. I've been going to this doctor for YEARS!!! Ever since I hit puberty. I waited on sex for probably 3wks or more--it was hard I know!!! But just the thought of it sounded painful--sex was hurting SOOO Bad before surgery!!!! I think I'm gonna wait the entire 6 weeks to be on the safe side. I'll just have to please my hubby another way You're right!!! Sex hurts REALLY bad. Hopefully the surgery will fix a lot of the problem. My babysitter had this surgery, which was mmmm...about 2 months ago and she's back to square one. I'm sure the only cure will be a Histerectomy.Now I took a bath on the 4th day-- I remember that clearly-- but got in trouble b/c I was suppose to wait a week. I was allowed to Shower though after 2 days after surgery. Wonder why they told you that= I think they meant "showers Only" --Definatley ask..lol!!! Wheewww...So I can shower then? Sweet. I was starting to worry because the pamplets I received, said absolutely no bathing. I consider bathing, showering...Sorry, that' weird huh? I'm gonna ask though, no doubt! I think My hubby is almost ready for a baby-- I can tell~~~ So I'm happy on that. My Dr. did say though that my chances of getting prego are slim sucks!!! But We will tryThat's really good Stacey. It's a nice feeling to have when you know a decision will truly be mutual. You'll have to keep me posted. Don't give up hope sweetie. My doctor said the same thing and I have two beautiful little girls. TOOK FOREVER to make......but..you'll have that....It's never too late to start. Who know, you could end up preggo your first try. I can't believe how much you guys had sex when you were trying--WOW--thats WORK GIRL [b]Let me tell you......it was becoming a daily drill....."Okay, hon, it's time COME ON~!" We had fun though.Anyway--glad I have someone to talk to about this!!! Same here. This is great! Thanks for sharing Stacey. I do appreciate you taking the time you make me feel a little better about surgery. I wish I could give you a big HUG AND KISS on the cheekers. |

Originally posted by Stacey Hey Babs-- I actually think that I couldn't workout for a month-?? Hmmm? I will have to go and read my old journals!! your going to be fine honey!! I have had this surgery TWICE! I promise its not bad IF you take your pain meds.. I couldn't live without them. Definatley plan on having someone take care of you for 2-3 days. And NO Lifting anything in your home. You don't want to rip out anything the Dr. has done. Your going to be A-O-K I am very glad I have someone to talk to about these surgeries on here. Smile honey and train good this week! XOXO |
???????/ OMG........I'm going to turn into a fatty, possibly.....lose muscle......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I guess it's good to go ahead and get it out of the way .....man.......This stinks. You're a brave cat Stacey. 
.....I work in an office......which means, no lifting anyway....Do you think that's why my doctor didn't tell me I'd need to take time off?.......You know what would REALLY be the pits??????...................If I have something awful in their and he ends up making the decision to take EVERYTHING out............then I'll miss ALL KINDS OF WORK........ugh! I've become a smiley whore

Originally posted by BabsieGirl A month ???????/ OMG........I'm going to turn into a fatty, possibly.....lose muscle......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I guess it's good to go ahead and get it out of the way .....man.......This stinks.TWICE, how were you able to talk yourself into going through it again. I'd swear someone would have to drug me You're a brave cat Stacey. Okay.......my boss is going to FREAK OUT if I tell him I need to take a couple days off .....I work in an office......which means, no lifting anyway....Do you think that's why my doctor didn't tell me I'd need to take time off? I'm curious, how do docs take care of scar tissue? My doctor said he's going to make repairs the day of surgery. I was hoping he was just going to take a peek.......You know what would REALLY be the pits??????...................If I have something awful in their and he ends up making the decision to take EVERYTHING out............then I'll miss ALL KINDS OF WORK........ugh! The clock is ticking...........time to make a decision.........Do I turn in a vacation slip for two days or just one?..................I think I'll fill it out for two just in case.....That way, if I end up taking another day, my boss won't know that is wasn't expected.....right?..........AND, if I don't use the second day, I'll be credited............. Oh....I won't lift a thing at home. If anything, I'll probably have family over driving me and hubby nuts..... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I know what I wanted to ask you.......How long before you could drive? I don't drive an automatic......it's a standard......Did you doctor mention anything about driving? I know it's a given I shouldn't drive the day of surgery.....I'd probably wipe out many people Stacey, thanks for your support! You've been a doll. And, this is nice having someone to share these sorts of emotions with......Just wish we didn't have to go them Lots of hugs and kisses Stacey....... |
and no pain for a long time!!!

Originally posted by Stacey ummm--- this stinks--lol!! I know the feeling. Done that once before...... Girl the surgery is not as bad as you may think it is--granted it does totally suck-and to me it is painful! I had the surgery on a Friday--and took off on Monday & Tuesday. I drove on Monday--however I should not have (LONGG STORY) Don't mix your pain pills w/ other pills-- I did and ended up in the emergency room drinking charcoal b/c they couldn't pump my tummy since I had the surgery. I hope not. I learned this morning of a gal here at work who had this surgery done. She had it done last Friday. Returned to work today and is still sore. I was suppose to train her but she said it hurts to walk. She works in the Engineering building I'm over here at Corporate......about a block away from each other. Wow. I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself all that bad. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have someone to talk to about all this. I'm scared. It has to be done. Girl, thanks for your support. I really do appreciate you taking time out of you day to provide words of encouragement. Means a lot to me! Truly. I came back to work on wednesday-wearing my gym pants b/c I was cut in 3 different places-- didn't make it the full day here. I work in an office too. Okay. I filled out my vacation slip. I'll be out from Feb 9th through the 11th. I also put in a request to be permitted to wear jogging suits for two weeks and a request to work in the training room for two weeks following surgery. I have to walk up two flights of steps in order to get to my desk. Since you and my doctor says, "No Stairs" I'm saying.......yes ma'am and yes sir! Hopefully it all gets approved. I have no doubt my boss will approve my vacation time however I am doubting they'll permit me to wear jogging suits to work, being that I work in a corporate building. I can see it now.....I walk in wearing jogging pants, etc...and the Japanese look at me like...."Who the heck do you think you are breaking policy like this?" Ugh............I'll just do what they do to me........"Ahhhhhhh......uhhhhhhhhhhhh.....I don't understand...........be wight back!" Cut 3 times. Oh my goodness, you poor thing. I was reading that the doctors can make up to 4 cuts. So, yours must've been REALLY bad. I wonder my stuff is going to like...... the doctor will probably drop from his chairYour doctor should have you sign a form allowing him to take out other things, like both your ovaries, etc... IF NOT HE CANNOT Remove anything in there. He will take a lazer and this other sharp tool--and get all the scar tissue out and Endo out. Have you watched a video on your surgery?? We had to before. I had lots of questions before also--however my Best friend has had the surgery 5 times!! So She made me feel better about it. I have to have it once a year-- or once every 9-10 months until I have a baby. Fun. It cleans out all the scar tissue, and cysts, and your brand new again and no pain for a long time!!! That's what I thought too. He didn't say anything. I'm guessing that if he needs to remove something on an emergency type basis, he'll come out and ask my husband. I told my mom I'd like for her to be there just incase this type of situation occurs. My mom is VERY anal and she also works in the medical field. Having her their will help me to relax a little just before going into the procedure room. My doctor did say he's going to take care of all the scarring I may have. He doesn't even know for sure if that's the cause. He's assuming that's my primary cause for the pain and abnormalties It's nice having people around that can sympathize with your emotions. Another lady in my Accounting dept had the Laparascopy done a couple times......then the doctor at one point decided she was going to do a full Hysterectomy. The day she went in for the surgery and the doctor cut her open.........he discovered that part of her uterus/ovaries was attached to her intestinal tract.....so........he could only do a partial hysterectomy. Had he not paid close attention to this, she could've died if he removed everything......THANK Gawd!!!! Your going to be fine honey, I promise!!

Great workout!!
And I have to weekend to rest, and 2 extra days!! My next surgery will be the worst he says-- They will have to use stentches in my ovaries (like sticks kinda) to prop up my ovaries to heal correctly--then take them out after 4-6 wks--NOT FUN! I heard that is super painful!!! (the second wk) Promise
|
Originally posted by Stacey WoW you are strong!!!!!!!!!!! Great workout!!

You want to make sure you heal correctly!! I think I started tanning 2.5 wks later b/c I had a wedding coming up. We all think dif. of ourselves than how others perceive us. Weird huh.
