I am so happy to see 2014. 2013 was a rough one and I feel like things can only get better from here. I wanted to update you all on my new diet change for my endo. I have been doing it for 7 days now. It has been really hard...I mean really hard! The hardest part so far is the no dairy and wheat. Gluten free bread has been rough. I am finding more gluten free products that I like though. I also think when eating out can be very difficult since there is usually not much on the menus that I can actually eat. Yesterday we went to a Thunder basketball game and we had some amazing friends invite us in the suite area. It was awesome. Thankfully they had food I could eat....until the dessert. Everyone was eating these yummy and very big desserts. My mouth was watering. I didn't touch any! I was proud of myself. This diet is not a New Year resolution. It is for my fertility. I want my next IVF cycle to work so much that I am willing to about try anything. I can already tell a difference in the way I feel. I am less tired. I will see if I notice changes in cramps/pain while I am on my period soon. I have already lost about 4 lbs. I do want to lose weight so this diet is a win win! For each goal of weight I lose I get something special. I made a list out last week with Chris. I am excited because I am almost to my first 5lb goal! :)
Please continue to pray for Chris and I. We should be starting meds in Feb. I pray I can stay positive and encouraged during IVF #3. Please 2014 let this be our year!
So excited for you! Stay strong on the diet, I'm rooting for ya :) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you Valerie! :)
Deletewow! You go girl!!! I'm praying for you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteCongrats on sticking to your gluten free and dairy free diet! I'm interested to see how it goes for you. I was tested for food allergies and don't have a sensitivity to gluten or dairy (supposedly). But I've always wondered if it would help with my endo if I tried to give them up. Good luck in 2014! Hope this next cycle brings your baby.
ReplyDeleteJessah, yeah, it seems to be helping. Read up on the endo diet..there is a lot of success stories from it.
DeleteWanting a baby will drive you to do things you thought impossible! Like no cheese! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great! And I've got you and Chris in my thoughts.
Here's to possibly having another February cycle buddy. :)
Thank you! I know. It is always good to have a cycle buddy!
DeleteHappy New Year, friend. Hoping 2014 brings your take-home baby. Good luck with your dieting.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog via Baby Bird. I too just started eating gluten free for my PCOS. I have been muddling through all the crazy ingredients that contain it, but finally feel like I have a better idea. Praying that this helps you two!
ReplyDeleteHey! Thank you! It is really helping! I hope you are having success as well!
