i need some support!
I have been suffering from really bad pain from some digestive issues and i got on the scale today hoping to have some good news and I have not lost any weight in a month. I am so discouraged right now. Why is my body doing this? I hate when i read people saying they are unhappy about losing 40 lbs in three weeks. imagine being 8 months out and have lost 10 lbs a month. that is great for someone who hasn't had surgery but not a malabsortive procedure. the longer i go out, the slower I am losing. i exercise, i eat right pretty much and i'm very active. what gives? i'm just in a bad mood today. hard to be optimistic when you can't go to the bathroom without an epidural.
Good morning Nic,
I am sorry you are not feeling well. Going through this journey is not an easy one for sure.
I don't what type of pain are you feeling? Is it on the left side? Is it like intestinal cramping? I want to share with you that I had been feeling some pain and intestinal discomfort when I was eating too many carbs. When I cut down my carb intake and candies I do really good and the pain and discomfort goes away. I know you said you have been eating better but I just wanted to share that with you just incase if it is something you can watch out for.
Unfortunately, not everyone loses weight exactly the same and it is really hard when you see others lose a lot quicker. I have a friend that lives in Michigan and she is going through a lot because she can not lose anymore weight. I try to encourage her to stay positive and to try to do things differently.
Being in pain makes things worse. ((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))
I am here for you anytime.

cira, i have hemoroids and they are flaring up. i don't really know what is causing it. it started with a probiotic that constipated me a month ago and it hasn't gone away since. the last couple days have been very painful. i am hoping that my system will regulate. i've tried all kinds of stuff and so far, it hasn't gotten better. hopefully it will soon. this is wearing me down. if i had to choose between losing weight and having this go away, i would choose having this go away. that is how bad it is lol. i have an appt w/ a doctor on the 21st to ask if i can get them removed. hopefully that will work out.
NIc,
Girl I can totally relate what you are going through. I had surgery for hemmoroids years ago because I could not take it anymore. I had laser surgery it was the best thing for me to do and although it was worse than giving birth I am glad I had it done.
Ok I have a few suggestions for you to help with the pain. I will pm you when I get back home. Talk to you later. One more thing if you are not going regular trust me you will not lose weight.

Nicole-
It sucks that things are not as happy go lucky as they seem for others. Just remember not to compare yourself to anyone, except perhaps who you were before! That always helps me be excited about one little pound!
Good luck. Let me knoe if there's anything I could do to make you feel better.
