Wheezy Whispers-AKA September's Goals



Recommended Posts

The bad news... I just found out I have a huge mass in my lower abdomen/uterus area, probably a massive benign fibroid tumor (hopefully that, and not something worse). It's about the size of a freakin football.

The good news, the whole thing, and likely my uterus will have to come out, It's going to be easy to make my 8lb goal this month.

Man I have a dark sense of humour... especially in times of stress.

Leila, so sorry about your medical problem, here's hoping the prognosis is a good one for you. Sometimes having a sense of humour is the only thing that gets us through these tough times. I did it myself when i was told i had breast cancer. I wish all the best for you.:D

Lila, I ate so much before my pre-op diet that I was looking forward to the diet. Once I was on the diet, I wasn't so thrilled with it. Got through it though, and yes, I'm sure you will make your 8 pound goal!!

Cloe, I also think your body heard you. Send some yelling my way, please!

Mandi, I realized after I asked everyone to check out Aussie Chick that everyone has probably seen the pics already. I forget that I am still virtually a newbie. Aussie Chick's pics are quite inspiring.

Leila, sorry to hear about your medical problem. I have fibroids, nothing that large but I know someone that had a fibroid that was quite large. For me the first Dr. wanted to do a hysterectomy. Since I didn't want a hyst., I requested a second opinion. The second Dr. performed an endometrial ablation. This procedure is much less invasive and is only day surgery. Other solutions include medications to keep your estrogen levels down which I did try, but I could not tolerate the meds. Just keep in mind that there is always more than one solution. Good Luck to you!!

Cloe you are too funny:laugh :( The strange thing is i still get nervous everytime i step on the scale that i am going to show a gain, just like i did with all the other diets i was on.:doh: I know it can happen, or reach a plateau and not lose anything for a while.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
