My last baby was born 3 years ago. He is 10 years younger younger then two of my other kids. Even though I manage to lose all the baby weight - my body does not look the same any more. None of my old clothes fit and I feel like I lost myself. The surgery is in a month - 15 December 2015 and I am hoping to lose at least 10 lbs before that.

Today I received at least 40 pages from Dr office to read and sign. I did not do an of that 6 years ago. Had to go for a blood test and fill out health questionnaire too.
I would not bother to lose weight but I am embarrassed - I am not going to much my spring pictures they took at the dr office, I always gain weight in s winter - if is cold and gloomy and depression always gets the best of me :(
Anyways, I am going to try my best, but without getting too obsessed, I will weight myself right before The Big day and see

We have surgery on the same day my candian sister. I wanted to lose weight b4 surgery too but decided to just keep focused on staying healthy as it is flu season. That is a lot of paperwork, I only signed off on a few papers maybe I have more to sign the day off. Good luck and glad to be sharing this journey along side you.

yesterday I paid for my surgery. The balance is weighting down my conscience and my visa bill :(
I weighted myself today morning and it is down only 3 pounds :( hope next two weeks I will be more consistent with my diet and swimming regimen
Only one thing that makes me happy is the newly found 5-HTP suppliments: it controls my mood swings and curbed my sugar/sweets cravings, without it I would probably already bit someone... My step kids are acting out lately and my son got 3 days suspension from school yesterday :(

It's like kids know when your on the edge and so they decide to just push you a little further lol
Do not look at your statement until after your surgery lol
What is the supplement? Is a diet thing?

No, I read about it on Dr.Oz magazine and decided to give it a try. 5-HTP stands for hydroxytrytophan found in some plant seeds. I googled it and it says that is increased production of serotonin which is happiness hormone. It is sold in vitamins section of Shoppers drug mart. Works for me

Thank you for the tip. Menopause is kicking my ass in the moodiness department so I'm happy to try anything.
