Forsythia 882 Posted August 2, 2014 Howdy! Sleeved on 5/5. Down 60 lbs from my program start weight and 83 from my all time high. I've been retaining Water lately, so I've not lost anything these last two weeks, but I keep on track and continue to go to the gym 4 to 5 days a week for at least an hour or more, so I know my body will catch up again soon.

oolismom 30 Posted October 10, 2014 Okay....I have a question for y'all.....My surgery was May 18th this year and ya know how when you went to see your docs and they always told you, "If you lose some of that weight it would help your knees AND back...." I think they lied to us!!!! I have lost almost 100lbs since the start of my journey and my one bad knee that usually acts up has been acting up AND I just had to withdraw from Fall term at school because my back has been out for over a week....WTH???? I feel like I'm falling apart!!! Okay, I do have 2 ruptured discs but I've lost the weight that was adding pressure so why now???? And my head, Lord, I feel so down in a hole that I just don't care about anything right now....I take my meds, food tastes like crap to me and makes me sickish, my back is almost back to where it was but I feel like a "Debbie Downer" and it's starting to piss off one side of my head.....Anyone else goin thru anything like this....???? I have tried eating Soups and my boxed foods and nothing sits right or even tastes right.....Not sure what to do....I don't see the stomach doc till end of November and regular doc is back from maternity leave in December.....AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh...... kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boccob81 244 Posted October 10, 2014 Well I know how you feel . I learned how much I was using food like a drug addict would use drugs to cope with live now that I can not eat the cheap nor want to eat the crap I now faced with dealing with life issues , and I can say over time I been getting happier with the weight loss confident is coming back . Now with my left ankle knee back pain the dr said the same thing and I to am like I am losing it but the pain is still here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oolismom 30 Posted October 10, 2014 I hear what you're sayin Bocco....But nothing tastes good.....I remember a WW Leader said once, if it doesn't taste anygood then why is it in your mouth? So I eat, normally, good foods it just seems like I'm going thru a down pit and nothing is "good" so I go without except for liquids....I'm not getting the required Protein even though blood tests have come out normal....I'm just not in a good mental place right now I think with the back and school withdraw, it's just all got me down and angry at my body for letting me down when I've been trying to do better for it.....make sense?? It's hell to get old I guess, i wasn't ready for it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
