Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Deanna- Welcome! I am so glad you found us - this group is a wonderful resource and tremendous source of support. We have several ladies who have been through resection and I am sure they will share their stories....we also have a growing number of babies born after resection which should provide some inspiration! Again, welcome! D UD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hi Deana! I just wanted to say welcome! Waiting time varies between docs. Usually they say 1-2 cycles. My doc has said I can try after I get my first period. One thing the ladies who've been there recommend is that before you TTC, make sure your doc does testing to visualize the inside of the uterus to make sure it looks like he wants it to look! A few women here have had to have second surgeries, and wouldn't have tried to concieve in between if they had known things weren't finished in there. Welcome ... 28, awaiting dx via lap/hyst (if SU,it will be resected at that time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hello everyone, I am new to the group. I just started reading Intuitive Eating, although I am not unfamiliar with the concept and have been working with Marna Goldstein's Thin Within program. I was an intuitive eater for many years of my life; which gives me hope returning to that will not be so difficult. Somewhere in my 20s I began doing the Chaotic Unconscious Eating.. but I had a great metabolism and it didn't catch up with me until 26 or so. I've been in diet mode for the better part of three years, until recently, though not nearly as extreme as many women I know. I haven't made food " evil " because I always believed a lifestyle change should leave room for your favorite foods.. so this concept of IE makes enormous sense to me. I KNOW I have food issues, don't get me wrong! I'm relearning cues about satisfaction and fullness just like everyone else. I lost 20 lbs. last year and returning to normal eating have kept it off, largely because I think my portions are smaller (a necessity given my stomach rebels when I overeat)but I am not at the weight I feel most comfortable at. I am loving and accepting myself where I am, though. At any rate, I am glad to be here!! Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Welcome Sara Sounds like you are off to a good start with IE. Body acceptance is as much as part of this journey as is foods and eating. Glad to be sharing IE with you too. Best to you, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hello everyone, > > I am new to the group.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Welcome so glad to have you with us you will learn a lot from this group. Eva Hi Everyone,I first heard about intuitive eating at a lecture at my university, but I didn't research it further until much more recently. As far as how far on the IE journey I have gotten, I don't know if I have "hit bottom" yet, but I do know that no diet is sustainable for a lifetime, and I refuse to diet for the rest of my life, so IE definitely seems the way to go. I'm excited to read more of what you all have to say -- its really nice to know I'm not completely alone in not knowing how to eat -- but I'm excited to learn. :)Em One site has it all.
