Re: liquids, plateau, and hormones....what a trio!

Hi Joan! I think I've found a bit of info on the estrogen!

My group leader loaned me a book pre-op that I happened to be looking

at again tonight. It's the Boasten book Weight Loss Surgery -

Understanding & Overcoming Morbid Obesity. p 145 in the post op

adjustments section:

" The Estrogen Adjustments: Estrogen is stored in the fat cells. As

you lose weight rapidly, estrogen is free-flowing. This free-flowing

estrogen can create several significant problems; hair loss,

contraceptive failure, fertility issues, depression, mood swings,

nausea and period changes. Your gynecologist or PCP should monitor

your estrogen levels. In some cases, you may need hormone therapy for

a few months while the weight loss is the most rapid. "

Estrogen running amok. What a concept!

ummmm... let me see, playing with toys ... does that count toward your daily

exercise goal Joan?? Indeed it does. Playing board games while sitting

burns 1 cal per minute .. and walking/running after kids ....burns ... 4cals per

minute!!!

I remember when mine were little ... a " long nap " was a gift from heaven in

those days....
