Gastro what??

So I've had a rough few months. Turns out I have a disease that doesn't allow my body to absorb nutrients thus my immune system isn't up to par. So I've started a new treatment. I've been told low fat, low fiber. Soon I should be getting my energy back. I really want to get and stay in shape. I want to look great for me. I want to go back to school and not stress. Working out is a great stress reliever. So here goes nothing. Back to the treadmill of working out.. I am asking for friends. I am asking for accountability. I am asking for help.

Oh so the title of this entry is my disease - Gastroparisis

    my mother has gastroparesis! (paralysis of the gastric system) i've never known of anyone else with it but she has an online support group (just for the disease, not diet/fitness) she doesn't eat very much anymore, uses tpn for nutrition, cannot exercise because she doesn't have enough calories to burn. she lost almost 100lbs in less than a year (after about a decade of being obese) hopefully she has an extreme case because she basically cannot digest food

    best of luck :)
