For those of that you know me...know that this past year has been major stress for me. I started off going to a doctor in March of 2011. She ran lots of test on me and told me that every thing was normal. I was healthy.
Not happy with the results I got from her I sought out a new doctor after several months of having female issues that were not any kind of normal I have known in my 40 years of living life.
It took my 3 1/2 half months to get into my new doctor. Of course she sent me to get the same blood tests my family phsycian ran on me. I heard again I was healthy and nothing was wrong with me. You can imagine my frustration. I broke down in her office and told her that being on my cycle for 2 weeks heavy and pmsing the other 2 weeks and gaining weight was NOT normal for me.
Finally, my new doctor sent me in for an ultra sound. The ultra sound revealed the source of all the health issues I had been having. I had 3 major issues going on with my body. ONE: Enlarged uterus. It was the size of a basket ball and it's suppose to be the size of my fist. TWO: A tumor the size of a soft ball attached to the lining of my uterus. THREE: Endometriosis which is enlarged overies.
There was nothing I could do about the large uterus. For my ovaries the doctor put me on birth control to get them back to normal size. The down size to that...it takes up to 3 months for that to heal them up. The tumor was the most stressful. I had to go in for a very painful biospsy. Luckily, it was NOT cancer.
So, one year and 2 months later I finally had a robotic hysterectormy. The worst part is being on bed rest. The best part is that I no longer feel like a totally insane person. It was so hard having doctors tell me nothing was wrong with me when I knew there was some thing wrong. Some thing very wrong.
May 2, 2012 was my hysterectomy.
Today is May 7, 2012 and my mom and I have decided to start the ULTIMATE RESET. My body needs all the help it can get bouncing back from surgery and my mom has high cholestoral. So this will be totally benificial for the both of us.
So far so good on day one. We haven't been hungry at all. Seems like we are going to the bath room more than normal, but that's good, right?? Flushing out the toxins!
Week one is cutting out dairy and red meat. I don't think that is going to be hard at all since I'm more of a chicken eater. Dairy won't be super hard, but I do like hard boiled eggs on my salads so that is a change I must make.
That's it for now. Day one in the books.
