Just call me a yo-yo!

So here it is, August 30th, 2012, and I reached 298 pounds yet again. I feel like a damn yoyo!

Im so frustrated with my weight. I could literally scream!

But at least I am below 300 yet again. Only 13 pounds to go! Blegh!

Someday I might make it! <3 p="p">

This was taken this past weekend at the Corvettes at Carlisle. The place I walked about 20 miles and yet hardly lost a pound. Grrrrrrrr!!!


Although, my knees have been snap, cracking, and popping!

WARNING! TMI INCOMING!

Lately, its been such a crazy roller coaster.

Back on July 3rd, 2012 I had a Merina IUD inserted due to my periods being out of control. The insertion was quite painful, and I had forgotten to take some meds before hand. Afterwards, there was some light bleeding, cramping, and the usual. Thankfully, it stopped after a few days, and everything seemed to be going well. Then BAM! I was hit with double over pain, severely harsh bleeding, and blood clots.

After 3 weeks, I ended up going to the ER because I was feeling extremely weak and nauseated. I went in and found out I was slightly dehydrated, borderline anemic, and that I had a severe kidney infection.  I was sent home with some scripts, and told to be on bed rest for the next 3 to 4 days. Seems gravity is not good for severe bleeding. Go figure (insert sarcasm).

At any rate, I ended up having it removed the following Monday, and then put on anti-bleeding meds called Megestrol . Little did I know that this medication has some SEVERE side effects when taking it. All of which seemed to hit me like a ton of bricks 3 to 4 days into taking it. Sure, not bleeding was nice, but having chest pains that required me to call 911, was just NOT fun at all.

So now we are here in August, about to hit September soon, and I have been on 2 sets of antibiotics, the megestrol, and my hormones are ALL freaking whacked out. All of this has lead to me not losing a damn pound. Oh sure, I have lost the same 10 pounds about 40 times. But I am sitting at 300 pounds. I just cannot seem to budge. So needless to say, I called VCU Weight Loss Surgery Center to talk to my case manager and find out what I can do to move forward. I am still required to get as close to the 285 as I possibly can. And I also need a couple things faxed to them by some prior specialists I have dealt with.

So in the end, I gave my 2 week notice to my job. Yeah, it sucks. But in the end, it wasn't fair to keep calling in to my job, and having other people pick up my slack. :( I mean, even today I wasn't able to go in due to a sinus infection, and double ear infections. I felt horrible calling in. But I feel like my heads going to explode. So needless to say, I am done.

I'm going to visit the YMCA when we return from our trip. I am also going to seriously look into signing up with Weight Watchers Online. I also need to remember to keep updating MyFitnessPal.

So that's the gist of what has been going on. If anyone has any advice, please feel free to let me know whatcha think....
