Happy Saturday!

I have a confession. I am a procrastinator! I will procrastinate anything and everything. I am terrible at making commitment. But I know what I need to do to get myself back into shape.

I had major abdominal surgery last August and I have to admit that prior to the surgery I was looking pretty damn good (pats back). But after my surgery that went all to hell. My surgery was a complete abdominal hysterectomy. My recovery from my surgery was long and painful. During my surgery I lost almost half my bodies blood and everything the poor doctor touched inside me would bleed. He told me when he came to visit me in recovery that I was pretty much a mess inside. That I had so many scars and adhesions that it was like a huge spider web inside me. Literally everything bled. Which caused me even more pain because everything that he touched also bruised, etc. So, I was on some good drugs and spent the next 6 weeks recovering. They tell you there will be side effects from this surgery. And we all know that when you are having ALL of your female innards yanked that there is now nothing in there to produce your hormones so you get to start taking HRTs (Hormone Replacement Therapy). I am on my second type as the first one didn't work so great. One of the other side effects is weight gain. And Sisters let me tell you, I have gained! I have gained 25-30 lbs in less than a year!!! I feel huge, gross, unattractive, disgusted with myself, you name it. I am not happy with what I am anymore! I have completely lost my sex drive, which I think is due to all of the above. (My poor hubby, thank god he has hands).

I am so happy to be a part of this Sister-Friends offspring and hope I can give as much support to you all that I know you all will give to me.. Yay-Yay!
