49 Hellish days later (day 2 of new juice fast)
49 days later, I have survived a category 3 hurricane, two surgeries, bleeding non-stop for a month and I gained five pounds in that time - but now I am back on the juice fast.
Date: 12/10/2005 9:14:59 AM ( 19 y ) ... viewed 2254 times I had to stop that fast. We were plagued with a hurricane here, and went without electricity for almost a week. It was crazy, but it was also kind of cool. You got to know all your neighbors and everyone was being really helpful and loving and friendly. Nobody was working and there was a curfew at night to keep things safe (it was pitch black and you could see every star in the sky!!!).
If you read the days prior, than you might have noticed that 1) I went to the doctor and 2) the scale stopped moving at 130 lbs.
Well, the doctor's office called me about 3 weeks later and told me that I may have been sufferring from cervial dysplasia, and that I needed to come in and have a biopsy (which was excruciatingly painful). That explains whys the scale was not moving. It was because my body was trying to eat the dead and mutated cells since I was fasting (at least that's what I think). Too bad I couldn't have let my body fix it on it's own, because the gyno doctor I was going to is a complete %¤#&!§-. He had no people skills and subsequently performed a LEEP procedure (also scary and painful) to rid me of the dysplasia...which he was supposed to do (I think)... but then afterward I had to go back only after two weeks because I was STILL BLEEDING. I went back in, he performed some new painful procedure to stop me from bleeding, and only 24 hours later I started bleeding again. So I bled for another week (fearful of going back to him again) until I started gushing blood one evening, so much so that I ruined a pair of pants and panties and was afraid to fall asleep because I felt like I was bleeding to death! I didn't want to sleep on my bed because I thought I might have bled all over it (I even put a towel underneath me). The next morning I went back to the doctor (he was free instead of the ER- which might have been $500)and he did another patch-job on me...but was very rushed (as usual) and told the nurse to give me the anesthesia, but when she said "hold on" and left to get another nozzle or something, HE STARTED DOING IT ANYWAY WITHOUT THE ANESTHESIA!!! What a fu*%ing di^k!!!. It was painful, just like very other time I went in there, and he told me he needed to check me on Monday- to come back in. Sorry, but after the last episode, I realized that maybe he was rushing all along, and that was why I WAS BLEEDING FOR ALMOST A MONTH, which was very dangerous. I am trying to find another doctor...but as of right now- after the last patch job he did on Thursday- I have not been bleeding for a full 48 hours. I cancelled the Monday appointment- because he is crazy if he thinks I am going in there after the last round of %¤#&!§-.
So, the moral of the story here is, if you feel the least bit uncomfortable with your doctor, leave that person to find a better one. The miraculous thing about it was that even though I was bleeding daily for a month, and losing a lot of blood right there at the end, my blood level counts rose higher!!! How? The doctor asked me if I was taking a lot of vitamins and iron pills, I told him "No, I just eat really well." It was true. As soon as they told me I had pre-cancerous material in my body, I drank fresh vegetable and fruit juices 5 days a week, and drank echinacea/goldenseal teas and ate green tea capsules (which I read was an HPV virus killer- the cause of my dysplasia). I don't know which one did it, but what should have made my blood anemic from constantly bleeding turned completely the opposite (due to my intake of Emergen-C, Green tea extract capsules, a 16 oz veggie mix drink, and the occasional fruit smoothie from Smoothie King), In addition, I was eating salads, chocolate/ice cream, red meat and anything else I wanted since I was pretty depressed about not being able to work out at all for a whole month!!! Healthy blood due to my food choices even though I was losing a fair amount every day... Pretty freaky.
So since I feel like I am getting fat again..it's time to go back on the fast. I think it will help me heal my cervix as well, since the shitty doctor probably cut me a little haphazardly in his RUSH to get to the next room and cut some other poor girl.
I did gain weight. I wieghed in yesterday at 135. Today I am 134.
Yesterday I started the juice fast with some green tea and green tea capsules, then I had a Peach Slice Plus Smoothie from Smoothie King with immune powder and spirulina. Later I had a fresh veggie mix juice from the raw juice bar. At night I had some cuban caffe con leche and I went to bed early (Friday night and I can't do anything... and now I live on South Beach where every woman looks like a model so I have to go on a diet).
So here's the stats: GW= Goal Weight CW=Current Wieght SW=Start Wieght
SW: 135
CW: 134
GW: 124
I am going to juice fast for 15 days. That will put the last day of the fast on Dec 23, 2006. (coincidentally the day before I see my boyfriend). Wish me luck!
