Hello everyone. I managed to get into the doctors yesterday. They had a cancellation. I was really tired afterwards from the tests. I am going to have surgery to remove the uterine fibroids and hopefully get my periods/bleeding/pain/etc. under control.

Trying to get with the coordinator now to see what dates are available.

Sarah, Traveler, and Sue way to go!

Ali I hope they figure out the issue soon.

Smith you will be shedding the weight again in no time!

Mara.. Did you get a surgery date? I had a fibroid hanging outside of me from my uterus and they did an office snipping... It hurt alittle as the doctor kept tugging on it (???) But It was gone in a quick and I hope your fibroids have a small place of attachment and can be snipped or lazered with little to no troubles and scars!!! and then... YOU WILL BE GOLDEN!!!!! and have that worry stress taken off your shoulders!! ((HUG)) bunches of ((HUGS))

Well... I made it to the 2 teens and I LOST 100 POUNDS! WEEEEEEEEE

Hello everyone

Sue- CONGRATS! That is a huge milestone. You should do something special today.

Oh my goodness Sue!!! That is amazing! I am so happy and proud of you!!!

Traveler you are off to a good start.

One of the fibroids is inside the uterus on the back wall. It is being removed so it does not grow and become an issue later. The main culprit is is in my canal and causing issues. They are going to do the Da Vinci Procedure. I will have four small scars in different places on my stomach and will be out of work for a week and a half. I am nervous, but I am ready to feel better.

Ok SUE...I know I already celebrated on the july 4th challenge but really...you deserve two celebrations!!

Way To Go!!

MARA.. Oh wow.. When is your surgery? and that you are going to be out of work for that length of time.. that is a major snipping job.. Shoot.. and Ouch... But YOU WILL be healthier and more normal (lady wise) when this is over. I send you strength and send you thoughts of positiveness!.. Once it has been completed and done you can relax your shoulders and say goodbye to the stress and look forward to feeling great again! ((HUGS!))

Mara - The surgery sounds tough, but will be great after it is all over. A friend of mine had a similar procedure and she is much happier now. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Ali- how are you doing? I feel like this challenge might be over the next time you post....with you as the winner!

Sue- Longhorn is some good stuff. I am glad you celebrated!

Thanks ladies. I am waiting for the dr office to call. They have to make sure there are no other tests, procedures, etc. they need to do before we set a surgery date. I guess one of them would be to make sure the bleeding is not making me anemic. But I know I have to hang in there and keep working on getting healthy. The doctor said he would like for me to get to 190 eventually. I told him I was aiming for 170.

Sue I just cannot get over how excited I am in your progress. You are doing so amazing. And I love the chicken parm from Longhorn. Delicious!

Traveler moving on down on the scale. Keep going.

Hello All!! I hope everyone is having or had a great weekend! I thought of you all everytime I thought of off plan food! I think I need a boost sometimes and this weekend it was all your kindnesses and comforts! and it worked.. !!! I lost almost all the water weight gain from Thursday nights dinner!

Mara... I know that you will be better and healthier after that surgery and that it just is a minor blip in your mind and not tooooo scary.. (is someone going to be there with you and to take you home - Outpatient or inpatient?) I will be thinking of you that day and sending comfort and strength and healing your way... then after that I will send the woosh fairy!

Way to go Sue!

They think it will be outpatient, but there is a chance I would have to stay one night. My mom will probably be there the first few days and then my Aunt will probably check in the rest of the time.

I really appreciate you and the other people on this board.

Hello all,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. The weather great in Northern Virginia. I hope it was nice for all of you.

I had a few minor cheats this weekend, but nothing too bad. I went to help a friend who just had a baby so I did not do very well in the exercise arena. I am still trying to get myself motivated to exercise today. :-)

Mara.. I am glad your mom will be there for you! and I do hope it is outpatient. Just keep thinking that this proceedure will make your life so much better! and TOM will be easier and I bet (clear throat) other things will be easier too.. Oh I send you another big hug! You just let us know if you need to talk...

Traveler.. you are moving that scale downward! YAH!

Sarah... You had had time on your own - writing while the family was away a few weeks ago and the stress of completing that project... well things happen.. I am so glad you came back. That gain will go away and you still might WOOSH away to the 179's!! Just never know....
