Hi sorry Haven't posted in here since I added meals back in, I did it gradually and decided to stay gluten free 99% of the time my meals are plant based.
I panicked initially this week as I piled 7lb back on! then I found out that at any one time there is 7lbs of matter snaking though your colon ... so that cleared up that mystery haha!
I'm still feeling better and can honestly say it's the best thing I have done, I was fat, sick and felt I had one foot in the grave in all honesty, and now? I don't
I still haven't had my bloods done but just got my hepatologist appointment so I'd better get on it, will post the results before and after.
I love coconut water Ruby it's delish, thanks for the links too x

I'm glad you like the coconut water Kizzy, and i completely get how you felt! I'm so glad you feel much better, it will be interesting to see what your bloods say after your juice diet, i'm going to restart my healthy eating when the girls go back to school, as my stomach feels like it's annoyed with me it's so hard to keep to a gluten free/smoothie plan when on holiday!

Keep us posted

Well for those who said it was my gallbladder..bravo.

Received result of my ultrasound today, gallstones, enlarged gallbladder too.

Much more worrying is the shadow on my liver that they found, so naturally I am ****ing ****ting myself now..they said in the letter it needs to be looked at and chances are it is benign...but come on. They can't say stuff like that and expect you not to worry. And I always think the worst anyway...

So...going out on the piss to commiserate my fecked liver/gallbladder.

Sending you a Vicky

Oh, to add insult to injury...at the same time as receiving that news, I got a letter from ATOS telling me that their version of Lourdes has managed to cure me in a half hour visit. Apparently theres nothing the matter with me.

[Kizzy]

I'm pleased you have a dx Vicky that's a start, there will be a distinct plan of action now at least
Best to stop the booze and find out what painkillers might not be so great for your liver. You'll be referred to a hepatologist, the shadow may just be a bit of scarring try not to worry ( silly thing to say I know) , you're young and the liver is a great re generator!
Juice some beetroot and get swigging, you can reapply for ESA with your differentiated diagnosis so don't let that get you down either xx

I dont usually drink though xD I could understand if my lungs ****ed up or something but I drink maybe once every few months and even then its not much

Getting pissed last night helped me forget..not making a habit of it though...

Got appointment through for this other ultrasound so gunna try not to think about it too much until then

Well now the hol is over going to juice again. Still awaiting an appointment with the hepatologist, the CT showed scarring on the kidneys but that's it.

[Kizzy]

Juicing again, started today ...starving
Will be ok by about day 4 roll on then!

[Kizzy]

10 days in, oof going really slow this time :/

[rubymoo]

You're so brave Kizzy doing a juice fast in the winter, was the ct scan of your kidneys good/bad news?

I've got to try and eat healthier but it's so hard in the cold months

I'm going to start exercising, so will try to find a kickboxing vid on youtube.

I'll start juicing again in spring, keep posting your progress as i love reading how you're getting on xxx

Hi, haven't even bothered asking for my bloods haha need to make an appointment to see about 3 different people but I just can't be bothered, sick of being poked and prodded.
It showed scarring but they said it was old scarring so not to worry, so that's good
Yes it is harder, a lot harder actually. Got some peanut butter today so going to have some everyday for some dietary fat. Have you tried kettlebells? They're great for your core, I got one for a fiver from tk maxx and it's brill!
You have your head switched on waiting till spring, there's no way I'm going to last 8 weeks

[Kizzy]

Well finally went to get them, liver function has fallen steadily, from 89 in 2013 to 53 in the summer of last year, it currently is .....47! Really pleased it's meant to be under 40 but that's really good for me and it's still moving in the right direction

[lostalex]

like white water rafting?

[Kizzy]

Had a scrambled egg...And I'm not even sorry!!!

That's better than a chocolate bar!

All the goodness that's in an egg

Maybe try a weekend juice and 5 days on good winter food like soups and casseroles, that way you're getting nice warming healthy food, and detoxing at the weekend.

(I find all i want in winter is casseroles and stews, hot drinks and lots of sleep!)

And fantastic news about your liver function
