kale spinach cocunut milk cashew butter smoothie 2

I’m feeling pretty good right now. I don’t know if it has anything to do with my green breakfast. I feel pumped up and energized. My green drink is kale, spinach and cashew butter blended in coconut milk. It’s not something one would call yummy; but it goes down. And if it’s responsible for my boost of energy and my present feeling of total balance then I can definitely deal with it lacking the yum factor.

I’m also pretty comfortable right now as far as the fibroids go. They’re not affecting me while sitting down. Pressing my abdomen I’m feeling other tissue aside from the fibroid tissue. I can contract my stomach a bit, which is a big deal. Because when my belly is filled only with giant fibroids I can’t suck in my stomach in the least bit.

7 Hours later…
Well, I drank some ginger tea and used Splenda to sweeten it. Either the ginger tea or the Splenda caused me to bloat severely. So I am now uncomfortable and all my good energy from this morning is gone. But I am still glad I had a few hours where I felt like I could conquer the world. Hopefully I won’t stay bloated the whole day. Needless to say I cannot suck my stomach in at this moment. The difference between this morning and now is astounding.

Next articleAre you giving fibroids too much power in your life?
My name is Monica. I have fibroids. My fibroids are large enough that they have transformed my figure into something I am still trying to learn how to live with. In the meantime while I try to learn how to live with my fibroids I am also trying every possible method I can find to try to shrink them naturally because I am afraid of the idea of a hysterectomy. I lived with fibroids from 2007 - 2016. I started documenting my experiences on this blog in 2012. On March 7th 2016 I had a hysterectomy out of concern that I might have ovarian cancer. It did not turn out that I had ovarian cancer. The cancer scare forced the hysterectomy I was trying to avoid, and so, I became fibroid free as of March 7th 2016. I will try to keep this blog up and running in the hope that it will be of some use to others going through what I went through.
