Weight gain due to health issue

dvanberkom

Hi, I'm struggling with motivation due to a sudden and rapid weight gain. This is caused by kidney failure and water retention. I'll be starting dialysis to get rid of excess water weight, but my motivation to keep up my exercise routine has been crushed. Does anyone know someone who is trying to maintain a former weight loss but is also dealing with dialysis?
Thanks! Dana

I'm sorry for your illness. My hubby is a dialysis nurse so I hear lots of stories. I also have a cousin on dialysis. Exercise will help you maintain your fitness and health. You will have a better life & possibly keep yourself in better shape for a possible transplant. Regaining lost weight is one of the worst things you can do for yourself right now. God bless you.
