Guest guest Posted April 26, 2000 Report Share Posted April 26, 2000 Ditto!!! , You look awesome!! What a difference you have made in your appearance. I still have your before photos. You look totally different. You will surely win a trip to Hawaii!! ~Laury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2000 Report Share Posted April 26, 2000 lol thank you Laury, Don't think I'll win a trip to Hawaii with my new pics, but in 3 months Watch out!!! what is really weird is that in the pro shots it makes me look wider than I really am. Hell, I came in at 8.1% body fat today in my fat test! Unfortunately I was in the 7's 2 weeks ago. That's why I'm so mad at myself. Get ready for the Sarge to come out fighting and pushing EVERYONE here harder in round 3. My goal this round is to be as vocal in here and making everyone laugh like I did in round 7 of last year. I let personal problems effect my Sarge mentality here due to feeling like half a man with my kidney problems. Well, if they have to take one out I won't care, I'll just tell them to put it in marinade and I'll eat it for one of my protein meals LOLOLOL. ROUND 3 is where I come out looking like Dolf Lundgren from Rocky 4! Yeah Baby Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SARGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2000 Report Share Posted April 26, 2000 Sarge- EWWW! Eating your kidney! You're so gross! (but it did make me laugh!) I'm going to get my photos scanned at Kinkos tomorrow as you suggested and then I'll get in touch with you to help me post them! You computer genius, you! You do look mighty darn awesome!!! Guess what, my sister (in Denver) might be joining our wonderful group! she is starting the program with her husband after seeing our transformation and she asked for the group info. Hopefully you all can meet her soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2000 Report Share Posted April 26, 2000 Ok Sarge, I can't let this message go by without a few words....in the first place, your acheivement of reaching 8 point anything is superb. Geez, before you get too angry about not being in the 7's, spare a thought to us still in the 20's and 30's...or are you still a crybaby...remember..waa waa waa!! Now whoever made you feel like you were half a man because of your kidney problems? That could only be someone with a weird mentality...or someone like er...you! Kidneys do not make a man anymore than good elbows make a woman. As for eating one of your own kidneys as a protein meal, man you are disgusting...although who knows, it could taste real good with a bit of charboiled knee. Wasn't Dolph Lundgren something else...back in the day? YEAH BABY ROUND THREE..LET'S GO FOR IT. Leaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hey Jen, You are exactly right! My protein intake was up to about 250-300 grams per day. Which we all know is hard enough to take in. The doctor found protein in my urine which is a bad sign. The kidneys usually never pass protein on unless you are far to overwhelming your body. I now make sure I am taking in no more then 150-180 grams per day. I know this goes against what we read. Most sources suggest 1 - 1.25 grams of protein per body pound when you are trying to gain lean muscle mass. However, remember everyone is different and I have found that I am still having to tweek my own program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hi patrick, What does your doctor say about the amount of protein your eating as it applies to the kidneys? I've heard that too much protein is really hard on them... Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureen: *I* think this is not right. We give 80 year old people who have the same surgery walkers and they wean off of it. There's no way that it can be comfortable to go from cast to walking directly. And if she's not doing things she first did, then she's too traumatized to try. So what if it takes longer to wean her off the walker---she'll walk when she's good and ready. And if she hurts, it won't be sooner for not having the support she needs. (I'm opinionated). Ammo for your debate: Kim's daughter used a walker and is now independent. she still gets tired, but is doing OK I think. YOU are doing a great job dealing iwth a VERY tough situation. But in my opinion, your PT is wrong. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 I'm also a soft-hearted one when my kid's in pain. Andy's having painful times with his ears still. He doesn't hit himself, but he can't make it through a day without being overly tired an last night he just fell apart he could not cope without Tylenol. Not that he needs o be with out Tylenol for me, I just didn't know to give him more. But if he can't do that, I don't know how he'll get through school. I always err on the side of " overprotection " with gentle support to push forward. I'd rather have him feel successful. Sorry if I blurted out a harsh opinion. That was wrong. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems so cruel to make her walk when she's in such obvious discomfort, but I'm sure it would be even more cruel to baby her and have her become even more dependent on others. At this point, she won't even turn herself over in bed or crawl on the floor, both of which she did the day she got her cast off the last time she had this surgery. >> Gosh Maureen!! Poor baby!!!! I read Joan's response to your post and I agree. I certainly realize hon, that we're not there and docs are supposed to have your baby's best interests at heart........but Hell. I've been carrying Maddie lately cause I feel so bad for her with her darned reflux---it just wipes her out. The director at her school siad to me ... " I can't believe you're carrying her " .....I said,,,, " Well, when I was in pain last year with a ruptured disc, many people *carried* me--IMO it's human nature " . I remember when my Dad was in the hospital in a coma for 4 months and the *new* approach in the ICU seemed to be total ease of pain---whatever that took. Made sense I thought. Again...IMO, no one can do well when they're in pain. People might say that it could become a behavioral issue later.....well, I say it's a hell of a lot easier dealing with a behavioral issue later than having pain inflicted daily. <<Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been around lately to send supportive messages as so many of you have done for me these past few months. Hang in there, everyone! And welcome to our new members. I hope you'll find, as I have, that this is a great place to share, vent, seek information and inspiration, and feel solidarity with others in similar circumstances.>> Oh Please dear!!!! We know what life is like and that you're with us in spirit always!! Giant {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} and I hope things progress!!!!

That was wrong. >> No, it didn't seem harsh to me, Joan - just honest and hearfelt, which I always appreciate. Thanks to all who wrote me back about the walker. Two days after I wrote that e-mail started walking on her own! She's taking baby steps and is not terribly stable, but SHE'S WALKING! I am so relieved. (She is always teaching me to have faith - she does things in her own time. You'd think I would learn the lesson one of these days!!) Her right leg is shorter than her left leg now, which I think may be part of the problem. The PT is going to talk to the doc about some kind of orthotic or special shoe. Anyway, thanks for the concern and prayers. She's back on her feet!!! :-) Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
