diet need to lose weight before tx
Well I have had every blood test possible and all came back good so I have decided to tx will start after my cataract surgery late December but I have to take off weight my GI would like me to lose at least 8 to 10 kilos
I will be on Pegitron 100 and Riba 1200 otherwise he will prescribe Pegasys but prefers I do the Pegitron as for my genotype 1b he feels I will have a better chance
I was turned on to a product I am considering using I have checked it out on the internet has anyone tried Livskinny My friend has recommened it to me as she has lost 15 pounds in a month She has medical issuesand needed to lose weight
and it was prescribed by her doctor and she swears by it
It claims all good things for the liver on the website for the product It has been a very nerve racking time since I was diagnosed and I have stayed up all hours of the night researching and reading all the posts debating to tx or not.
thank you all for all the informaiton regarding your good and bad experiences with sx on tx
but I have finally made the decision to move forward and Go for it
I am doing great on the Anti Depressant and feeling like my old self again Depression is a bear
and I actually gained weight! during this trying time. Any input will be appreciated

LOL! Sounds like my Christmas....we cook all the sides, schlep them 20 miles away, fire up the grill and cook a beef tenderloin for everyone. This year I am gonna claim tx makes me "too sick"....so you all have to keep my secret that I'm actually just home relaxing this year. =)
It must have alot to do with metabolism. My daughter and I had a conversation last night about Thanksgiving plans. She said I need to eat a big Thanksgiving meal because I've been looking "terrible" lately. I don't fault her for saying that, because it's true but then she said I needed to cook the meal at her house. Now let's see, drive two hours - purchase and cook all items for a big Thanksgiving meal at her house next week because they have other plans and won't be able to visit me on Thanksgiving. She has to work so no help with preparation. WTF!!! No wonder I look terrible!! Cut me some slack here!! Needless to say, I respectfully declined and hubby and I will probably eat at the Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving. Kids, you gotta love em!
I lost 20 lbs before tx eating fruits, vegitables, whole grains, nuts..no fried foods! no junk food of any kind! all breads, crackers, etc. whole grain.
lots of kashi cereal (great stuff imo).
NO sugar, just ate healthy
and exercised... bought a sony wii and wii fit.
Still eating healthy , just added coffee back to my diet and feel much better.
I lost no weight on tx at all, but i was on pegysis and my doc told me that everyone on pegintron losses weight (who knows if she knows what she is talking about)
I also lost 10 lbs when I was taken off tx.
Still
I didnt lose any muscle during tx, cause I drank and ate a lot of protein.
be sure to have them check you for IR and treat that as well if you are in fact IR.
They may not want to do so, but look up the studies on the net, print out and show them.

ps - if my liver was in good shape , I think I would wait... much more effective meds on the horizon, and if you treat and fail, some think it could cause the virus to mutate and be more difficult to treat later. No one told me this before tx. wah!
thats another reason they take you off after 12 weeks (w/o 2 log drop).. to quit mutating the virus...
Sometimes they forget? to tell you these things.

good luck!

I wish I could explain it, but in my case, 5 pounds gained in 15 weeks...I am guessing the ice cream and the lack of motivation to excercise are playing a part. Actually other than the ice cream some nights, I eat really healthy. Fruits, veggies, whole grains, yogurt.
Even on the weeks that I have no appitite, my weight has held steady at this new level.
I walked 3 miles today, so I'll see if the excercise can't jump start the ol' metabolism.

geez if I got down on my hands and knees it'd be tough to get up actually had to do that today I am bent on spring cleaning early just in case I can't later took four days off work to make my bedroom comfy and get all in order
Yea I figured the muscle would go
I have a set of weights and an excercise bench and a treadmill so I should be fine but gotta walk upstairs to use it
62 feel 90 used be able to do physical labor for hours on end but now about 4 hours does me in
I hope I am not the one to gain weight my GI says I most likely won't lose weight
I said I am too old to tx he said he has a 90 year old patient asking to tx who and a couple in their 70's and one in their 80's He thinks I am in good shape little does he know how outta shape I am in compare to a few years back when I used to visit the gym 4 times a week
the energy I miss

I still have some muscle, not as much as before, but it's there. I attribute that to doing my own housework. I get down on my hand and knees and clean the hardwood in the foyer. I don't have to do that but it's a little more challenging that way. It takes me all day to clean because I don't move as fast as I used to but it is the only good exercise I get. That's what's kept the little muscle I do have left on my body. I can eat anything I want to on this treatment and I don't gain, I lose. Ten pounds in 8 months, and still going down. I eat more now than I ever have in my life, still lose. I don't how anybody can gain weight but they say they do.
