Weight History
1 to 3 of 3
14 May 2018
I almost collapsed in the dollar store yesterday, just from going up and down 4 aisles, leaning on a cart. I wasn't in pain, it's just that my stamina is non-existent. I was so glad to do away with my walker after my surgery, but I might just need to start bringing it with me again, not really to lean on, but just to have a seat wherever and whenever I need one.
This is not my body. I'm trapped inside this torture device, and I'm not sure how to get out. They told me the surgery would be the magical moment. It took the pain away, but I still feel sick and trapped. Then they said getting off the drugs would do it. I'm now off all the meds and through the withdrawal, but I still feel sick and trapped. Now it's dropping the weight, and I'm not sure I believe what the doctors tell me any more.
Some days it's hard to have hope.

Losing 1.9 kg a Week
13 May 2018
My doctor told me that now that I've weaned off the Prednisone, I should see some drastic drops in my weight, so no one panic that I'm starving myself or doing anything else unhealthy to see this sudden decline right at the start. It'll even out shortly. (Probably far too shortly for my tastes).
But about 40-50lbs went on my body in the 4-5 months I was taking the medication, I'm hoping to drop it, or the majority of it, just as quickly. Then I just have to battle the other 100lbs that went on while I couldn't stand up for more than 120 seconds at a time (and also work on regaining that stamina) and was on the other two medications that have the side effect of weight gain (alas, I still have to take those).
Why can't recovery be the same thing as being out of pain? Because the pain went away much faster than all the rest of this crap...
