Obese but with pretty normal legs / arms etc but very fat, enormous belly ***Ovarian cancer diagnosis - title edited by MNHQ at OP's request***

Hi
I'd be glad of any advice or personal experiences here. I am around 4 stone overweight, so definitely obese. Most of it is on my stomach though, which now looks like I'm 11 months pregnant with triplets. I'm in my 50s so this is not a possibility. It's very painful and I am short of breath when I walk etc.

I've put on a lot of weight in a short period - 10lbs in 2 months.

Six months ago I was bodyboarding in the sea, walking every day and doing an exercise class every week. Now it's a struggle to do anything.

I'm having bloods done on Friday but any ideas / comments? Am I just unlucky to pile it all on in one place?

Another one just sending positive thoughts, just read the thread and then realised today is Friday so hope it's all gone well.

I've only had surgery once, but morphine and oxygen mask in recovery were the best bits. Hope you're there TQ, out of surgery with the worst bit over.

My mum is the same but she has thyroid and liver problems.

I hope it's all gone well xx

Hope all has gone well TQ and the beast has been well and truly evicted.

Another lurker hoping all has gone well

Hope you are recovering okay now, TQ. So many lovely messages from people on here. It is very touching.

lots of love to you TQ, do hope all has gone well and that you are now recovering ok. Thinking of you, had my fingers and toes firmly crossed for you all day yesterday!

Thinking of you today and yesterday. hope everything is ok for you.x

Hope everything went well with the op and you're feeling ok today

FFS @babybell89 how bloody insensitive can you be? Read the whole thread and just see how rude (and grossly inappropriate) you have been to just jump on and post without bothering to read the rest of it.

💐

babybell89 do you mean Cushing's? If you'd even bothered to read the full title of the thread then you'd know the OP has been diagnosed with cancer

Just checking in to say I hope the op was successful and that your recovery is going well x
