Weight Loss

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends: Is anyone having weight loss?? 2 years ago I had 60 lbs

of weight gain from an ankle break. Now, the only good thing I can say

about contracting Lyme disease is that I've lost 15 lbs. since I got

sick in August! It seems to have stabilized now that I am on I.V.

though.

Hi Lovette,

You are one of the few who are fortunate enough to lose weight with Lyme

disease, most of us gain weight. I am sure you would much rather be healthy

than thin, all of us would. There has been discussion on this list about

the thyroid function being attacked by the Lyme bacteria...I believe that

can happen. In my own case, I go through stages of being ravenous, and then

switch to not wanting anything to eat all all. Go figure?

<< NO unfortunately I have not lost any weight yet, but I also eat alot of

fast

food and junk only because I just don't have the strenght to prepare meals

at

times.. We should spend more time on " Good Food " and prehaps share afew

qucik

and easy healthy recipes " >>

I HATE to cook, so I just choose some healthy frozen entrees (bought on sale)

to keep around when I am stuck for food choices...keep fruit in the house and

I haven't had much junk in the house lately...my daughter begged me to buy

choc chip cookies yesterday, and though they are my downfall...I was gonna

let her have em...nopt fair to force kids to not have such things...but then

when she wanted me to buy a 12 pack of certs...i was able to bargain to put

the darn cookies back to get the certs....

ever since I cut WAY back on added sugars...even fruit based...i no longer

have carb cravings...also that high water intake helps...i also have a very

spicy chewing gum dentyne ice...it helps zap my mouth with flavor and avoids

me wanting food...cause nothing would taste good after such a strong taste in

the mouth...2.5 calories for one piece.

if my kids are getting fast food...i get a kids meal eat the burger and like

a few fries and let my kids have the rest...and splurge for a diet soda....

I also used to eat breakfast oatmeal apple cinnamon flavored...but now that

i realize i am IR...so the added sugar is a no-no...just makes me crave more

food so when I do have it..unflavored oatmeal for me

i avoid breakfast till i eat lunch.....lunch is my breakfast,,,,dinner is my

lunch and i eat a late dinner..

most people would say eating at night is very wrong...but 28 pounds off tells

me it is the right thing for my body

..i get up at 6 am and go to sleep around 10 pm

and have found i am truly fine with this weird style of eating...but is is

spread out over the day....if I knew I would be somewhere 11-12 noon where I

could not eat..I make sure to eat something earlier....but until 12 or so

all i have is 1 cup of 1% or fat free milk in my coffee....b

you are right

they are both bad...and I drink very little except water and my am coffeee

with milk these days...I guess moderation is key....cause if we cut out

everything bad for us, we would have nowhere to live and nothing to eat B

oatmeal is great. so is oatbran cereal. no flavored ones.

aspartame is probably not a good idea. sugar is bad, but aspartame (IMHO) is

poison.

Feta cheese is ok on the Candida diet? I have been avoiding it (and it's a

personal favourite since I love those greek salads) so Chestnut's post made

me wonder since she made it for her son...

Feta cheese is supposed to be okay because it´s goat cheese.

I cannot tolerate dairy products, so I chew two lactaids before having dairy.

I often wondered why I could stomach feta cheese (after forgetting to take

my lactaid prior to having it, and then after realizing, tried an experiment

and could STILL stomach it) and then when Holly posted that it was made from

goat's milk, it got my curiosity aroused and makes me wonder what exactly the

difference between goat's milk and cow's milk.

Do y ou think the aih was set of by the pregnancy?

Thats when I started having problems. Jaundice, weakness,.abdominal pain,.

it got even worse after

I had the baby. I am 30, and cant loose the weight. I have gone to a vbery

basic diet and am still gaining.

I know the pregnany set of my hypothyroidism as I didnt have it before.

Ama

Im not really sure about that, since I was diagnosed

with the thyroid long before I had any children and

Aih after I had had them. Maybe your doc. can answer

those questions. Sorry I couldnt help with this.

Hi Jen.. You see my doctors think that Steohepatitis is what caused my Cirrohsis.. That is fatty liver.. Also I have AIH.. So he is thinking if I lose the weight then maybe that will stop from getting more fat built up in my liver..

I don't actually think it will slow down the progression.. But the extra fat will just speed it up.. Am I making since?? I go to a Hepatologist in a Major Hospital in Peoria, IL March 27th..So he'll be able to tell me more.. Hope this has cleared some stuff up.. Believe me, I'm just as confused as you are.. lol

Hugs,

Deb

[Guest guest]

Yes, Thank You , Jerry.. The information you sent was very helpful..

Thanks,

Deb

[Guest guest]

Deb and Jen.... The treatment for Fatty Liver is to lose weight.. that`s

how it is treated. Any type of liver disease is treated by slowing it`s

progression by eliminating it`s cause. Fatty liver is caused by being

over weight, People who have alcoholic liver disease are treated by

stopping drinking and so on..... there is no other treatment for

cirrhosis.

Please read the page I sent before on Fatty liver .I will send it again.

Jerry

[Guest guest]

Jen, be very, very certain you're understanding correctly about having "some weight on your body to build bone density." I believe there are methods that are probably safer and more effective to deal with bone density.

Harper

[Guest guest]

Ok... thanks

I remember now that when they first thought I had fatty liver they mentioned

weight loss. That was years prior to my diagnosis. Now with cirrhosis its

not anything my doc is concerned about. Actually with the intake of

prednisone he (gastro doc) would prefer I have some weight on my body to

help build some bone density (if that makes sense). Thanks a bunch.

P.S. thanks for the INFO JERRY on Fatty liver and cirrhosis.
