Hi, feel a bit lonely on here, where has everybody gone. I have just restarted this amazing diet and need to shift 5 stone. I am hoping to lose at least 2 stone by the end of feb as due for surgery to remove ovaries and there is more chance of keyhole surgery if I am a bit lighter. First day sailed thru and today hasn't been too bad but will be woffling on here as it is a huge help.
 
Hi Debbie Welcome back, I'm on a return journey to but no specific diet. It took me a while to settle with out the old names cropping up but I kept on posting and chatting away to myself and on my 6 the day I got some new friends commenting. You've made the hardest move, getting started.
I lost wieght for ovary removal by Keyhole so amazing hardly any scare and very quick healing, not something you'd want to miss, great opportunity : )
 
Hi Lookingfor me, I had keyhole surgery for my gall bladder last time I lost weight on this diet and was only off work 1 day + weekend so keeping fingers crossed. Day 3 for me and doing well really motivated; could do with upping water intake though.

Same here waters slowed down alot, I had a full hysterectomy, so I was a few months of not being over active. I'm not sure with just the ovaries. X
keep going Debbie youll soon be day 7 & and on those scales. :)
 
I have a tumour on my ovary and they keep changing their minds over just ovarian removal all full hysterctomy. I work nights which I find helps, only bug bear is the day shift keep leaving biscuits on the desk. Up to now I have been good and left them alone. Think I am in ketosis as mouth feels like Ghandi's flip flop. Keeping fingers crossed for an ok weigh in on Saturday. Water intake gone up yipee.
 
Good work on the water and I think I have Ghandi's other flip flop :D

At first they were only going to remove my womb due to sever monthly problems ( I couldn't leave the house but Lyme Disease totally wrecked all hormone activity and I believe also the Merena coil which is the devils work in itself) My first grandchild had been born and I had suffered terrible all my life from 9 so not PMT but something unbalanced, I was given an injection in my butt and it subsided, I jumped on that as I wanted the ovaries out anyway but they had to find a reason for the removal, I was never going to use them again, they are a high cancer risk and my Granddaughter was here, it wasn't something I had to think about really but i'm kind of like that I don't ever regret my choices but i'm very blunt and black and white and that's it weigh the odds and take the best ones. I know some women can feel quiet badly physiologically for having things removed but it doesn't make us who we are or how we hold our loved ones ;)( it can slightly risk the breast cancer chances) but i'm sure they would explain all that to you in a meeting xx PS don't let them dictate and play god with you, up down , up down, if you decide you want more tell them straight, i'm not coming back in another couple of years to be told I've got to go through all this again, its not like i'm going to use it again, and every time a person goes under anaesthetic there is a risk involved and I don't appreciate that not being taken into consideration, so you tell them what you want, when you do, cheeky devils . x

Got a letter today with my pre op appointment which is tomorrow, plenty of notice I think not lol. The ball is finally rolling. I am not bothered about them taking bits away either, I know who I am and being without ovaries is not going to change that. They are going to do a biopsy on the womb as the lining is thicker than they would like it to be and have been told if it comes back as cancer they would transfer me to the Woman's in Liverpool for removal. Surely it would be more cost effective to do it all in one go. I am nearly 57 so not planning on more kids :)
 
no that's exactly right, I had been in terrible pain for years , and been seeking help, when my womb was examined my Gyne said it was up with the worst shed seen for something that's like endometriosis but much much worse as it goes right the way through the lining of the womb?? or there abouts. I hope you get the all clear and they see sense, people cant just keep popping out of life to hospital as you will also need to convelese.
 
To be truthfull all I am wanting is the results of the biopsy and the tumour, bit pissed with the NHS as we have known about the tumour since last October and my tumour markers were pretty high and my consulatant was quite concerned, he sent my MRI and blood results to the cancer team in Liverpool who took 3 weeks to say I was a low risk and they recommended either the ovarian removal or another MRI in 5 months. Not best pleased as the damn thing wasn't on their ovary and if it is cancer it needs dealing with straight away. Great incentive to get back on this diet though :)
 
Wow that's not great! it makes my mind boggle how some of these specialists can be happy working like that. My friend waited ages for help after a diagnosis, I thought then why on earth is the weight so long? and that was quiet a few years back. My nan who was 82 at the time had a fall a few eyars earlier and they found cancer on the area she had knocked and they had her in quick time. I hope you get some answers soon, possibly they will tell you a date tomorrow.
 
I called the hospital today to see if they had a date for surgery and was told that so many people do not turn up for their pre op they have now stopped booking surgery till the pre op is completed, they did say I should be told tomorrow so keeping fingers crossed.
 
I highly suspect the flu has something to do with that I had 2 pre-ops before I was safe for my 3rd but I turned up to them all, I just got sent home as to ill. I was so desperate to have it done. The NHS do stress that there is so many hours and money wasted on people not phoning in, its sad as it backlogs on to those that care. Good luck tomorrow fingers crossed that you get some news then X
 
Didn't get a date but hopefully sometime in the next 3 weeks. I also have decided not to have an official weigh in as I found a stashed supply of Lipotrim in cupboard which will do me for this week. I am marking a 5lb loss as I know I have lost that at least and all my measurements show an inch off Yippee.
 
They didn't weigh me just asked me my weight. My scales are useless move them an inch and the difference could b a stone. Think they need to move to the bin, I keep records of my measurements and I am sure I have lost more than 5lb so next week should have a really good loss to show at weigh in :)
 
I've got 2 sets like that now, I realy think it's the cold weather, pop a hot water bottle on the display first. I did it the other day at it repeated spot in but it's a pain. Who wants to fill a hot water bottle to get on the scales!/
