So, as of tomorrow, Monday the 9th, I have only 30 days left on the megace steroid/phytoestrogen. The first 2.5 months were the worst. However, now that we are coming to the end of the 111 day treatment, I have gained more weight than I have ever gained (other than pregnancy). I began my journey on the meds running and doing tae bo. I injured my foot (again) two weeks ago and so last week I began no carbs and no sugars. After one week, I have not seen much change. I am discouraged and I feel completely defeated despite my efforts to overcome the side effect of weight gain on this medicine. I am not backing down. My foot is almost healed, and I will soon be back running again. I will not quite the no carbs no sugars detox until my body has overcome this extra 20 lbs that has been gained.
I know it's a season. I know I will not give up my efforts because I would be in really bad conditions if I do. I have 30 days left. I am determined to keep fighting through the weight gain and refuse the urge to be depressed daily as I don't want to face the day or put on clothes that aren't my pjs right now.
Keep praying that I will fight through the weight gain, fight through the feeling of defeat, and ultimately for complete healing of my body.
We meet with the dr for a consultation on Dec 8. We will have our d&c within a week or two following.
