I am feeling great today like I can take on the world.  Wish I felt like this every day.  I am going to search for a walk/run to sign up for (for in the spring) so that I have a goal to work twards. 

I went back to the doctor a week and a half ago and found out that the pathologist said all he found was infection in the tissue that was removed during the D&C.  I am so thankful that he didn’t find any cancer/precancer cells (cancer runs in the women on my mom’s side of the family).  The doc. said it was due to bleeding so heavy for so long.  So I was put on nasty antibiotics and antiinfectants.  They caused me to be exhausted/lethargic, dizzy and have acne from the neck down.  I found a web site for the one that said many people have nausea with it as well so thank goodness I didn’t get that.  I have been maintaining through all of this and now I hope to start losing again.  I started on the Metformin last week and I will start on the hormones next sunday.  Thank you everyone for your support through all of this.  Hope you all have a great week.

I had the D&C done yesterday morning and was exhausted the rest of the day but no pain until today.  Everything went great and there were NO cysts!  My Doc. will put me back on the hormones and Metformin when I see her next week as long as everything looks good.  I am very excited to be on a road to a healthier me.  Hope everyone has a great labor day weekend!

I had my first diabetic class and there is soooo much information.  I am going to start taking metformin after my D&C next week and will be checking my sugar once a day.  This is the one time in my life I will say this “I love my health insurance.”  They have a program (PHP Sweet Rewards) where you check your sugar at least 1 time per day and follow all of your doctors advice and they will wave the co-pay for testing supplies, meds and later cholesterol lowering meds too.

I am doing better.  I have been to see a couple of doctors and found out I am diabetic (due to weight and PCOS).  I will spend the next 2 weeks getting more tests done, taking diabetic classes and having a D & C done (because I have been on my period for 5 months now and the pill made it heavier (that was fun)).  Still unsure why I get sick but we are working on that.  I have gone off the Hay diet because I stopped losing weight on it after the first couple of weeks also I slowly added foods back together and it didn’t make me sick.  I am now on a 1800 cal. diabetic diet.

I did not eat that pizza!  I am doing great and very busy with family reunions, vacations and getting the kids ready for school.  So, if I’m not around it’s because I’m not around a computer.

Today is a better day :)   I know I can do this esp. with the help and support from my family and my buddy slim buddies! 

I need to vent, I am not enjoying this way of eating any more (food combining).  It is a lot of planning, needing to eat protiens and carbs at least 4 hours apart (but I know that if I don’t I’ll be sick again).  And when I’m hungry but it isn’t a meal time I am not sure what to eat.  I have been eating veggies but now I look at them and decide I’d rather just go hungry, then I’m grumpy.  It makes me want to eat a whole large pizza and just be sick the rest of the week.  I WON’T but that’s how I feel.  Also, I haven’t changed anything the last few weeks but the weight stopped coming off again.  I could use some advice if anyone has any.  Thank you for your time.

I have been having computer and health troubles.  I have been sick (flu like) off and on for a year now, and it got worse in the las couple of months.  You would think that I would lose weight being sick that long but when you don’t feel like moving that doesn’t happen.  I have found a probiotic and a way of eating “hay diet” or “food combining” that helps with the nausea etc…  It also has helped in the weight loss area (I just started last Sunday).  I am going to the doctor to do tests to see if I have a thyroid or autoimmune disease but for now I am feeling better.  I am glad to be back this is a great place to be.

Everyone here is great, sorry I haven’t been on in a long time.  I had some computer trouble for a while and I have been sick (flu like) for no reason.  This has been going on for a year off and on.   I am going to the doctor and getting tests done to see if it is an autoimmune disease or thyroid trouble.  Until they figure it out I found a probiotic and a way of eating that has helped my stomach problems “hay diet” or “food combining”.  It is hard to stick to if you aren’t sick but for me it is easy.  I know if I don’t follow it I will be sick.  Much better than eating PB sandwiches all day every day and gaining weight.  I feel well enough to get up and do things and I am eating healthier.
