GOOD JOB!sfg4uKim wrote:I've lost 40 lbs. since January (30 of it in the last 14 weeks). I was actually EXCITED to go for my annual physical a couple of weeks ago! Here are the results. I no longer have high cholesterol/triglycerides, no more high blood pressure and I'm no longer considered pre-diabetic! PLUS my fibromyalgia and osteo arthritis pain is MINIMAL.
If you're on Facebook you can join me at Healthy Kim where I give tips and recipes.
Since I posted this on Aug. 2nd I'm down to 131 lbs. I was 132 when I got out of the Air Force . . . in 1982.

After back surgery, everything edible or drinkable smelled and tasted awful, so I ate very little. Also, I was anemic and dehydrated.

It's great to be back home with the cats and tending my SFG!
Wow! Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. My DIL had her tonsils removed last week and is down 15 lbs. The ILLNESS DIET is NOT recommended. Feel better!
I have seen women looking at jewelry ads with a misty eye and one hand resting on the heart, and I only know what they're feeling because that's how I read the seed catalogs in January - Barbara Kingsolver - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

I don't know what the rules are on weight loss during sickness or surgery and if congratulations are in order or not?

Yes, I'm sure that some of the weight loss was from dehydration.
Not being able to tolerate the taste or smell of food and water, however, was a major factor. The taste buds are gradually improving, but still not quite back to normal.
I'd like to lose another 15 lbs. or so....

Sorry CC. I'm mobile and trying to move some things around and it's been challenging to say the least. The m's were for a marker to save a spot. I think I am done now

Re: It's actually more like surviving.... these days...
you're so right. I'm dealing with poor choices myself. When I went to Bonton Farm in Dallas, Tx, the poorest area and found first hand what a "food desert" neighborhood is, it was a rude awakening. Medicine is helpful, esp for the poor. my hope we will see in the future how medicine and real food can work together in restoring health. Food a real nutrient.RoOsTeR wrote:
