Derail in and of itself? No, however I'm sure it's a contributer. I know for me I get up at 5am to be in the office by 6:30 get off at 5, drive 45 minutes home and then I'm beat. Just absoloutly beat, want to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the couch. I personally find mental work to be just as draining as physical…

My sister said something simmilar once, I beat her over the head with my purse.

I have quite a of my back covered, they don't hurt in my experience. Now some parlors are using numbing cream too. So that's always an option :D

I know you weren't just referencing to me. I was just pointing out that if someone is going to claim special snowflake status for whatever reason, by definition, that person isn't healthy.

Well, therein lies the fallicy "subsit and REMAIN HEALTHY". Yeah, no one's arguing that while those symptomes were happening that they were healthy. At the point in time that I had gained quickly I was in renal failure. I don't think even in starving areas they want to gain weight only to die because their kidneys and…

Ah ok. I so hear you. I let them do some sort of inter abdominal shot a few months ago where the doctor injected lidocaine between the muscle tissue and the skin/ fat layer. That was scary. It really sucks taking pills every day just to be able to move. Not even pain free, but to be able to.

I know my pain will be lessoned with loss of weight but everything else has been rolling since I was a healthy weight. The pain started prior to the weight gain as well but has been severely aggrivated by it. So far not at risk for anything else, had a biometric screening recently and cholesterol, HR, blood pressure,…

Oh goodness, what kind of shots are you taking? I've been through a lot of issues with pain and now get trigger point injections to somewhat assist. They don't last long though.

I agree with you. Fat is always a symptom, never the actutal problem. It's important to recognize what the problem is and take steps to get over it. Cure the problem, cure the symptom.

Wow that's way too high. I used a PT for very specific goals of mine and it was worth it. I used her for the three months leading up to an event called Tough Mudder. It was $50/ hour and she kicked my butt for every part of it. But 10k? Uh, no.

It's like those monkeys: Hearing no logic, see no logic, speak no logic.

Yep, being frustrated is a normal and natural response of the body to stressful situations. Losing weight is a stressful situation in all accounts.

I think the problem here is is that most people who come to this website are actually trying. That all gets lost in the bullcrap.

Even if I was eating donuts and pizza for every single meal I wouldn't have gained like that if something else weren't going on.

Yay that's so awesome!

"Horrible, demoralizing and frustrating", pretty much sums up my experience. I had a rapid weight gain from January 2013 to March 2013 after I had surgery for an interrelated issue. If I hadn't have been tracking what I was eating my doc wouldn't have believed me. Keeping a food diary saved my life.

Yeah, I'm screwing with my diet/exercise to figure out what's going to work. I'm really trying to listen to my body, eat when I'm hungry, and plan better. I know from experience that if its too restrictive I'm not going to stick to it. Does pushing a 40lb toddler in a stroller uphill count as strength training? Lol

I've never thought that it took luck to lose weight/ maintain weight. Most people who are at a healthy weight work damn hard to be there. I think when you're scraping through, though, and see zero light at the end of the tunnel yeah you're going to have a defeatist attitude. I think the major difference between that and…

Funny, I thought you just said that you weren't trying to pick people apart or put others down. You just did. :noway:

Oh shush, you just want me to justify myself to you so you can pick me apart. Having a bad self esteem day are we?

Seriously, that's pretty much all he wants to do. Nothing actually constructive.

I take gabapentin, norco, and levothyroxine. I don't think they have those effects, though. Yeah 1700 may be too much. I've been thinking about dropping since this is the second week with no weight loss.

Oh definitly aggrivating it. No question. Which is why I've been pushing through it in the past few weeks to keep going. I have an appointment with my pain management doctor to adjust my meds to the activity. See if there's something else we can do until the next surgery for scar revision.

I haven't as there isn't anywhere around here that does that. I live in a very isolated area. I've been on a wait list to see a nutritionist since October of 2013. I am seeing a physical therapist we do water stuff and massage once a week.

That's definitly a possiblity :D

Adhesions don't always aggrivate the person depending on where they are and how they're adhered. Not a one size fits all thing.

I swim a lot with the kids but there's not a swimming pool accessable to me for like lap swimming and whatnot. We just go to the lake.

It's a fallicy to compare one person to another when their health needs are different. Some people actually don't have any chronic pain from scar tissue build up. I'm not sure how it's an excuse when I'm explaining my hesitency while also telling you that I'm exercising in some way regularly just being hesitant regarding…

Really? You're not taking things out of context quoting stuff from over a year ago as "proof"? Eg. "I ate a lot different when I was 140lbs vs. now 4 years later and exercised every day". Context that is missing: "I had surgery on my abdomen a few months ago so I'm not exercising right now because I am unable to" and "I…

Maybe it could work. Not sure though, scar tissue isn't like stretchy and the pain keeps getting worse not better. I had a pretty bad flare up after my 5k on Sunday and I wasn't running that thing just walking fast. I have to be careful since a pain flare up can be so bad that I can't get out of bed. Since I work full time…
