update from the doc

hiya!!



before i give the update...i just have to say...this morning the scale said 200.6! *SUPERLOUDSCRREEEAAAAMMMM!* heheh! im so excited the scale is going downdowndown. i've been a good girl this week and have stuck to my exercise/yoga and my menu as well. NO FAKE FOOD! (that's my new word for FAST food. hehe) i just know this is going to be the month!!!



soooo...i had a self-scheduled follow-up dr appt with the OB/GYN this morning...well, here's an excerpt of what i posted in my yahoo group, just so i dont have to retype it all! hehe yes, im lazy!!



it wasnt bad, not perfect either...he did a quick pelvic exam and then an ultrasound. i MIGHT have another endometrial cyst in my ovary. there were two showing up--one was perfectly normal, clear...a functional cyst, aka an egg. but the other one was a little cloudy, like my old chocolate cyst. it is about 12mm wide, which is about 1/3 of the size of the one they took out back in march.



so, i think what i'll do is go back in 6 months and have it checked again...unless my pain gets REALLY bad. i am hoping and praying 1) it is just another functional cyst or 2) i can really make positive changes and make it go away!! and actually, the doc told me if i wasnt actively pursuing getting pregnant, which im not, that i should just keep doing what im doing and not worry about surgery or drugs or whatnot, even tho of course he offered up Lupron again or even Depro-Provera and others like that. and obviously i'm not going to use those no matter what!



*longpause*sigh* gosh you guys...this year, i have just read sooo many testimonials in books and online of women who change their diets, lose weight, and get healthier (that's the simple way of putting it, obviously its more complicated than that!)...and they go back to the dr and their cysts and endo do not show up!!! I WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE WOMEN!! I WANT IT SO BAD and now i am even more motivated to do it.



sooooo...i'm gonna keep on truckin!!! that's the update and i'll talk to ya'll soon :)



happy HUMP day!
