I know this is getbig but I need solid advice. Hopefully this thread doesn't then into a circus. Basically last year I didn't get anywhere with my training as a 660 gram fibroid / tumour was discovered in my uterus. I spent all of 2014 trying to reduce what I thought was lower belly fat. I was always doing cardio and weights was included however I made no progress. I got a myomectomy 3 months ago to remove my fibroid. The surgeon had to cut me via my previous c- section scar as it couldn't be removed any other way. It was the size of a baby's head. I started back at the gym 4 weeks later just doing brisk walking.
At 6 weeks I started weights. I am currently spitting my body up into 5 weight sessions per week. I haven't done cardio regularly because I did so much last year and because I am lazy? Strength is going up and recovery is fast. I initially lost 2 kilos after my myomectomy due to fibroid size and fluid from excess estrogen. So I weigh less than before however the scale is showing an increase of 1 kilo. My waist is smaller. Yesterday I was another kilo heavier however I got my period so it could be fluid. I am guessing it's muscle, fat and fluid. My diet is plenty of good fats, protein and yes carbs. I am hungry all the time... Big difference to last year.
I take magnesuium, iron during my period, milk thistle and 2 x DIM. I cut out soy milk in my coffees. So my ? Is should I try and cut or should I just keep building which will change my body composition? I tried to attach a pic which I took yesterday to show where I am at but it's not allowing me. Will get bigmc to post pic. Stupid glitches
