I may not actually be crazy........
but that remains to be seen! LOL
I went to the doc yesterday for a physical. He found it VERY odd that for as much running and lifting I do, I haven't lost a single pound in over 9 months. I am the same weight I was when I began running (I've lifted all the time since surgery tho). He did full blood work on me, he thinks something is amiss - I was 220lbs at the appt and had done a mile in 11.5min that morning.
This may sound odd, but I'm actually hoping something IS wrong. I've been busting my AZZ working out and running and haven't lost ANYTHING. I'd like to say that I'm more concerned with my progress and faster times, but I'm not.
He's guessing hypothyroidism - but I don't have very many other symptoms - BUT - I'm a 'House' case type lol I had the flu last year - I went to the doc for a pain in my back, no other issues - they did a nasal swab and it was positive for the flu. I had no fever, no chills, no coughing or anything else - just the pain in my back. That doc said it was the strangest case she'd ever seen. I like to think I'm a medical pioneer of sorts........ LOL!!!!
anyway - if anyone else has had any experience along these lines, I'd love to hear some feedback from you. I should have my results next week, I'm crossing my fingers for a problem because otherwise - I may just be crazy for real!!!
thanks for listening!

thanks shell - I have been researching online and had a huge WOW - panic attacks are listed as a symptom.
I had them BAD about 3 months ago - so much so that I 'crashed' at work a couple of times - VERY scary. I started taking 5-HTP and it helped with those - but added to the rest of the stuff...... I'm thinking my doc is really onto something.
I guess that's why they do that whole school for 8 years, then rigorous testing and certification stuff, huh? LOL!!!

Ohhhhh brother - I have been the carb counting QUEEN in my day! LOL
It's not the simple carbs. I did a stint of Atkins, then South Beach at one point - nothing. I actually gained when I cut out most of my simple carbs - but I do limit them and I do balance them with protein intake when I do indulge.
Trust me, I thought of that too. However - over a year ago when my eating was actually worse - I lost. I'm doing much better today (technically) but way worse off weight wise. What I love is that this doc has 'followed' me since WLS and knows my habits, knows how I am 'on' it - so I think i have a good shot at tracking down whatever is going on.
Thanks for your reply!
