Uh oh! LOL I'm crossing my fingers for something good! It better be good for how miserable my eating is!

Thanks for all the support guys. I just spent the last 24 hours in emergency, I had really bad pain and nausea and had to go in. While I was there they did more tests, so with the ultrasound and a CT scan the ob-gyn specialist determined that I have 3 fibroid masses, 2 are 5 inches in diameter, one is 5.5 inches in diameter - basically 3 big grapefruits. Because of their location in the uterus, and the fact that they grew as agressively as they did, the specialist strongly recommends a hysterectomy. Even if they removed the masses and left what was left of the uterus intact, odds are new fibroids will form and grow rapidly from the remaining uterus, and I'll have to have repeated surgeries to keep removing fibroids. Since all fibroids grow from uterine tissue, if they remove it, I will never have fibroid problems again. My ovaries aren't compromised at all, so I'll be able to keep them, and that's what's important to me. I'm just so relieved and gratefull that it's not cancerous. So surgery coming for me probably in October, they will have to open me up pretty big vertically, so I'll be adding a big new scar to my collection... ah well. It could have been a lot worse!

Aww... Leila. I'm sorry.

Hopefully you're feeling a little better today, and things go well up to and after your surgery. Make sure you let us know when it will be, so we can send you good vibes that day! You need a "Leila's ____" thread to keep us up to date in... I think :(

Ok, so, as of this morning, I'm at 225.4

I don't think I should be all excited with Leila's bad news, so... that's all :(

Leila, Glad to hear it's fibroids and not the CA word. I lost my best friend to ovarian cancer. She's been gone 2 years this month. I've been thinking about her a lot lately. So I know it's tough that you have to endure the hyst. but it could have been a lot worst, so for that I'm happy for you and your family.

Awesome, Mandi.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I remember when I used to only weight in the 220's.

Tell me Mandi, if you lived closer to Mississauga, would you have had them remove some of the last fill? Are you glad you didn't have some of the fill removed now that you are doing so well with the weight coming off? I live far away from the clinic, not as far away as you, but it's still a hike.

Thanks Wheezy :girl_hug:

I would say, yes... if I lived closer, and it would be easy for me to get into the clinic, I WOULD have had them take out just a little bit. Maybe just 0.1 or 0.2 cc's. I still would, even today, if I could. I'd like to be able to eat a little more that I am now. I'm still hoping to work myself into a comfortable eating spot sometime soon that I can sit at for a while.

Hi Leila....I too am sorry to hear about the fibroid issue. I also have fibroid problems but so far nothing that will need surgery...I just keep having follow up ultrasounds done to check for size increases (in fact, I have another one this Fri). All the best to you...nice to see you keeping your sense of humour! But, do take care!

Aw, Mandi, :girl_hug:

Are you making plans to have some taken out? That nurse who was getting trained, is she now able to do them?

Thanks everyone, you're all so sweet! Everyone should be excited and happy for their weight losses and the good things. It's nice to come here and see people with good news! I'm the exact same weight as last week, no loss, no gain, and I'm fine with that right now. Very happy I haven't gained, I've been eating a lot more high cal, high fat foods with the stress, and I'll get back on track this upcoming week. I don't want to focus too much on the negative... I'm happy to hear everyones light hearted news, comments, etc, and don't worry about if you are being insensitive or if I'll be offended or anything like that. I'm a VERY hard person to offend!

Hugs back!

XO

Leila

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
