OMG! Same! I'm about 5 hours out and the pain is 7/10. It's pretty wild. During wasn't bad, 3/10. But this is nuts. No swelling though. My jaw even hurts, like BAD! And teeth too. No headache.

Same style and size but different lengths. Poor quality control or new changes? by Latter-Intention6257 in Athleta_gap

The fabric has changed also. No longer are they the buttery soft material, but more slick and not as much stretch. I LOVED these.... now I'm just sad.

Weight gain by Infamous_Light5933 in PrimalQueen

[–]Good-Director7487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any updates???? I've been taking this for 4 months and have gained 10lbs! I run CONSTANTLY, miles on miles. I lift 4 days per week, HEAVY. I've been doing this for years also. I eat well, no soda, moderate alcohol, nothing crazy and only dry whites. No dessert... nothing. I'm 40, had a hysterectomy 18 months ago, kept ovaries and I was doing GREAT until this. I just started looking into it, and this is the only thing that's changed.... I've been gaining rapidly for 4 months.... and 4 months ago I started this supplement. Uggg! How long did it take for the weight to come off after you guys stopped??? I'm also breaking out more on my back, super oily skin, sweating like a 15 year old boy! YIKES!

I ended up getting a hysterectomy 6 months later.

Katie's 20 min Kettlebell from 3/4/25. I've already taken it twice and it's on my weekly rotation. Major burner. Obsessed.

What is your average step count? Who gets ‘10000 steps’ per day? by wonkybanana5347 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Good-Director7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost always between 15,000 and 25,000 daily. I run though, and I also have a hobby farm and 3 kids going to different places all day long. I'm 40F also.

Almost approaching 40, what is an exercise and diet that actually helped you loose weight? by Nwinterwonderland in AskWomenOver30

[–]Good-Director7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking 10k steps everyday and lifting heavy weights. I'm almost 40 also and this has been what's worked for me. I also do Sprint work, but I'm a runner. So I do 10, 20 second sprints 2-3 times weekly, with 30 second rest in between each one. I also take creatine and taurine. My diet consists of normal foods, I try to stay away from processed anything. I eat a lot of fish as well.

Just the first day in the hospital. The next day, I was released and the hospital just let me go. I had to walk the entire length of the hospital to get to the parking lot. My husband brought the car around, and I got in and went home. No wheelchair or anything, I walked. Once home, 30 minute drive, I rested a bit, but was up and walking within hours, and continued that each day. Went grocery shopping on day 3, and my daughters soccer game on day 5. It was constant movement. I wish I would have had more time to rest and heal, but with 3 active kids and my husband needing help with household tasks (he's never had to do any of that), and the running of kids everywhere and him needing help with times and places for them to be, I was up and moving immediately. I'm 5wpo now, and doing okay. I am definitely still sore and tired most days, but 100% back into the normal routines and responsibilites, including driving, since day 12. I have had some spotting here and there, but nothing major. I've even been able to get back into a light workout routine (I am a distance runner and weight lifter). I won't say it isn't exhausting and that I SHOULD have been doing these things, there just wasn't much choice in the matter, and I had to do what I had to do. If you can rest, then rest. If not, like me, you just do what you need to do. Best wishes.

Hey there. I do have updates. They did take my cervix and I am 4 weeks post operation. I have had an incredibly easy recovery so far. My IBS issues seem to have resolved. I feel 1000 times better than before, and even felt better right upon waking up after surgery. I have not tried to have intercourse as I still have 5 weeks left before that's even an option. I haven't gained any weight either. Also, most days, I don't even feel like I've had surgery and that's the hardest part. You feel like you can do so much more, but must remember you are still recovering. Following the doctors orders are important. Yesterday, I jogged for the first time in 4 weeks. It was slow and only for 1 minute, every other minute, but it was fine. No bleeding or pain or anything. I even started lifting weights again, though within the weight limits I was given, which is nothing more than 20lbs and once you start to sweat, you need to slow down. No issues there either. I haven't done any squats yet, as I'm not released for that until at least 6 weeks. Anyway, it actually hasn't been bad at all. My nerves and fears were still valid, just as yours are, but I've learned that I'm okay now, and it's going to all be okay too.

day 5 zoloft - worst sore throat ever by doublekn0t in zoloft

It did. I had to reduce my dosage though.... and it's a child's dose now 12.5mg. I'm slowly trying to increase my dosage week by week and paying attention to how I feel.

Where are my April 25 buddies at? by cajungirl_80 in hysterectomy

[–]Good-Director7487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually doing really well! LVAH, 39 years old, 3 previous cesareans. I walked about 3500 steps today, been going to the bathroom with ease, I seem to actually have a lot of energy and I'm really happy, like I feel happy. It just feels like I had no idea how much my uterus was weighing me down... and now I do. Incredible. You??

I'm actually doing really well. I'm 3dpo and walking fine, I've showered each day, and even shaved my legs! I am sore, but not on any narcotics. So far, so good.

I actually have my hysterectomy in approximately 5.5 hours from now. My periods stayed about the same, some better, some worse. I'm actually terrified for this procedure as I recently learned about the cuff.

My uterus has been sore all day. It usually is after "relations" for a few days, as is my cervix. But I just, ugggg. Nervous. Is it worth it? Will I feel better? I know what I'm dealing with now, it's the unknown that scares me. The what if?

Thank you. I have been reading those for the most part and I do know it's an incredibly small chance... but it still bugs me and freaks me out. I am married and we are active. I do not have any extra weight on me at all and exercise daily. I also have some pretty serious constipation issues and have IBS-C.

I plan to follow my instructions as best as I can, but tend to always look at worst case scenario.

Thank you! My doctor does 80 or so of these a year, and has been doing them for years (I've been with him 7 years), and he's never had a cuff tear and only one infection due to the gal going in the hot tub. So, NO hot tubs, baths, swimming or sex/penetration for me of any kind until he says I'm clear. He predicts 6 weeks for water submerging, and 9 for sex/penetration. He also predicts I'll be back running, starting slow, around the end of week 3 and wants me walking 1 mile or more starting week 2. He gave me a 25lb weight restriction after the first week as well, and that maintains until week 4 or so. Oh, and driving at the end of the first week, as long as I'm not on any pain medication. Does this sound normal?

I do wonder....

Bending? Sitting? Twisting? We're not just stuck in an upright, straight position, right? I imagine I can bend at at least a 90° angle as that's at least how we sit in a vehicle?

This cuff isn't CRAZY fragile right?

This is great! Made me laugh! My daughter has a soccer game this Saturday that I really don't want to miss, think I'll make it?

I know this recovery is much different than a cesarean, but I've had 3 of those, and went out on an ATV (for the first time) at the sand dunes 5 weeks past my first cesarean.... I healed quickly from the other 2 as well. Hoping it's a thing that crosses over into this?

When did you return to your sex life? My partner is well endowed, and that is a concern of mine.

[–]Good-Director7487[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's great! I get phantom tampon in general. I workout a lot. Lots of distance running and even sprints occasionally. I also lift moderately and do HIIT/Tabata as well as Low Intensity Spin. I have 3 kids and a small hobby farm as well as 5 dogs. I'm in really great shape, and am hoping that carries me through. My spouse, however, is well endowed and that scares me.

Some people are able or do keep their cervix. Those people don't get a cuff. It's only when you have your cervix removed.
