Energy.. or lack of it.

***Warning.. all male readers .. Female topic to be discussed. ***

Since having my surgery my monthly cycle has been kinda of screwed up. This month my enemy arrived early and with it brought major havoc. The cramps have been terrible and it seems like all my energy has been totally zapped right out of me. Yesterday I felt like I ran a marathon just walking to the mailbox. This, of course, does not help when I really need to be doing some training for my 5k on July 12th. I actually had to lay down during the day and rest and for those of you who know me that is something I never, ever do. I have heard that some people who have the gastric bypass surgery do suffer from anemia specially when on their cycle, and that could very much explain the lack of energy that I am having and at one point yesterday I actually got very dizzy. I, however, am not gonna worry to much about it unless it continues. Besides doing the 5k on Saturday Morning this past weekend I really worked hard outside and I may have just over done it some and my body is trying to catch up.

Otherwise things are going well. I have some more pictures that I have uploaded so please check them out. In 2 of the pictures I put on the same black outfit that I wore at my sister wedding, I was kinda disappointed that it does not show a dramatic difference in the picture but if you could see what I see, when wearing them again, you would know that there is a big difference.. The pants are way too big now and I can actually pull them on and off without undoing the buttons or zipper before I actually had to buy a girdle to put under it to make sure everything fastened up ok.

Hope everyone has a great day...
