Hi Tim, Glad to hear you are doing a bit better. Scanxiety is the worst. I've seen others on here with cancer, and i myself have had 2 types of cancer and a recurrence. I think the fact that you can even think of your weight is a good sign. When i went through chemo (3 years ago to this month), it was all I could do to…

I've had similar issues to your mom. I had hyperthyroidism leading to a thyroidectomy later (so now hypo). After 2 years they are still adjusting my dosage of meds. I would suggest that your mom have her levels checked regularly (by an endocrinologist if possible) and to record her hours of sleep, general energy levels,…

Well, MFP just had me lower my goal to 1250 and I struggle eating less as well. I am exercising like crazy to be able to eat more... :) When I was working (until April), I make up baggies of baby carrots, celery and sugar snap peas. Strawberries are also in season and low in calories if you don't mind the sugar. Those 80…

Yes, amazing what our bodies can recover from. I was told they only attempted my surgery since I was relatively young (38 at the time with a 3 year old and a 14 month old). I had a significant amount of nerve pain and remain on the nerve blocker Lyrica. I remember telling them to just cut off my damn leg it hurt so bad...…

That's amazing. I've had a hemisacrectomy performed as a result of a bone cancer and my entire lumbar spine fused to my pelvis. Must say it took longer for me to recover, but they had to 'sacrifice' a few nerves along the way. I spent almost 3 mths in the hospital and it took 9 months of physical therapy to get from a…

Fellow insomniac here... also glad you're taking charge. I've had some really bad moments myself. I was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. Chemo, radiation and lots of surgery have left me a different person mentally and physically. Besides having to re-learn to sit, then walk, etc., I have major anxiety attacks.…

Wow!!!! Amazing and very inspirational!

I've done that too (the pint of ice cream)... have no control with Ben and Jerry's and can no longer keep it in the house...:smile: However, looks like it hasn't hurt you. Congrats on the weight loss!

That is AWESOME! That is my first goal too... another few weeks hopefully... :smile: Thanks for the motivation!!!

lol :laugh:

A full pint of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream (in about 15 min)... can't keep it in the house anymore... :( Zero control!

Wow! That is truly amazing. Thanks so much for sharing! Love the pics! You look fantastic!

That is FANTASTIC! I'm currently looking at the cookie a co-worker left on my desk... too eat or not to eat... ?? :)

Hi everyone, I'm new to MFP. I had/have chondrosarcoma and have had a hemisacrectomy (2012). This involved the removal of half my sacrum and fusion of my hips and lower back. I also gained a lot of weight and am trying to get it OFF! I have a terrible body image problem at the moment. Looking for friends that are working…

Hi, I'm not an amputee, but have had a hemisacrectomy (due to chondrosarcoma), where they removed half my sacrum and wired my backbone to my pelvis. I am up and walking now, but have pain and am limited in what my leg can do. They cut my S1 and S2 nerves in my right leg. I also have atrophy and a permanent limp. Looking…
