Hello, looking for advice and support

Hello, I am new to this program. I've tried others but never stuck with them. I once weighed 244lbs over the past 20+ years I've got down to 170 as always my weight bounces up and down. I have multiple health conditions from a hole in my heart , ciatic nerve damage in my lower lumbar, herniated disc, tear in my spinal lining, meniers disease (nerve damage in my left ear, constant high pitch ringing in my ears which throws me off balance daily) bradycardia (low blood pressure) gastroparesis(delayed stomach emptying, food takes days to break down in my stomach, if at all at times everyday I'm nauseated and or getting sick cause I keep trying new foods this has been going on for little over 4 months) and enlarged spleen the last two has been recently diagnosed. Over the past 4 months I've lost 38lbs leaving me currently at 170. Not how I wanted to loose this weight but I've got no control over that. Majority of solid foods don't agree with me. I want to get healthier and loose another 10-15 lbs and would like a pal (support, advice, possible friendship) that may have a similar story as mine or not to help and encourage me along the new lifestyle I'm adjusting too. I would also love to be able to encourage and support others as well. All for one and one for all. Reason why we joined this team "Let's Work It" the best we can we're all our own, no judgements or shame. Never give up.

It sounds like you are losing weight quite successfully with your new medical conditions. I think you may want to focus on figuring out what foods work for you and ensuring you are able to eat enough and get adequate nutrition once you get to your goal weight since the weight loss is already happening.0
