SO...post ur name and if u want to participate in a diet modification/exercise program for those with limitations.

    and hopefully we can support each other as we shed weight....and feel stronger with out pain : )

I need to lose a few pounds.....I think I mostly need to get back into an exercise routine.

But it seems everytime I think I am doing good enough to try some other medical issue pops up. I am just over 7 months post op PFD, and just ended up taking an unplanned week off work thanks to now my heart rate is getting too high.

I'll see the Cardio Dr next week, then maybe I can try to do the exercises you posted last year.

Dawn :)

I am on probiotics and magnesium. I am actually trying to gain weight because I have gastroparesis and I keep losing it. These past 3 days, I lost the weight I had just gained, but I'm still hopeful that I can do it! I have been pulling out all the stops and doing what I know will benefit me the most. Hopefully, I will be back to my target in no time! :D

I am  so happy that u r getting up to a healthy weight and that is all we need to look to is what is health  for us.....

I also have gastro intestional issues....so I know what u mean....have u tried a probiotic? Magnesium? they r helping me  more then nething else I have ever tried.

Well I can lose weight, but I gain it right back a few days later....it is not a real loss....so I am happy u were  able to lose and I pray u can keep it off  and add to it : )

My goal is to gain weight- healthy weight. Since my last set back with the pseudo, I lost an unhealthy amount. I am up 2 pounds since then! I'm so happy to report! PT starts next Friday, so I'm hoping to add some muscle weight once I feel better!

I must add, I'm not sure how it is to try to lose weight, but I am having a struggle trying to gain it. I have a slew of gastro issues and eating is not a pleasant experience, so mentally, I don't want to. I would imagine trying to lose weight would feel just as frustrating! But I'm happy for my small victory! It only took me 6 months to get here! hahaha but I'm still happy!
