Another diet, Grrrr! You diet??
Anyone here lose weight after Dx of apnea?
Was there a change in your apnea? Quality of sleep?
I am ramping myself up (my internalized pep rally) over the days to come.
Big diet day starts on the 1st.
I'm tired of dieting but even worse than being tired of dieting is being tired of the excess weight. Sleep has been bad ever since getting sick (allergy/cold) and tossing CPAP due to constant coughing during night and suffocating. The allergy mucous is getting better. I hope to be back on machine all night long within a couple more nights. Maybe that will help soften my frustration, depression, anger, irritation regarding dieting. I need to get myself evolved to a place where eating healthy and sensibly is a positive non-eventful necessity of life rather than a thorn in my growling hungry stomach.
Anyone have words of encouragement or advice ...............?????............????
Good night everybody. Hope you all sleep well.

Mike, Please read this.

Read all of it but pay extra attention to the info on Beta cell damage and notice the glucose numbers associated with the different types of progressive damage.
I post it NOT to frighten or panic but simply to help inform since you said you were not as informed as you wanted to be.
Hope this helps in some way,
Barbara

Sugarshirl, that is freakin fantastic!! Not the ICU part, but the 70lbs on your own! I'm newly married to a wonderful man who's a chef and who has back issues, snoring problems (I SWEAR he didn't snore like that before we got married!!) I'm convinced his weight has a lot to do with all those problems, and have been trying to get him interested in eating less food more often. You do it and it works for you, I do it and it works for me. We can't both be wrong, right? ha
I just can't seem to get through to him the seriousness of these issues. We did an online BMI test for him, which he was horrified by--and yelled "i'm OBESE???!! But i'm 6'3!!" Freaked him out, but nothing really changed. He refuses to go see a doctor-new job, no insurance yet...any thoughts on how to motivate him? My subtle "hey, let's watch the Biggest Loser while eating veggie wraps" doesn't seem to be working to give him the push he needs. Even the idea that there may be fat surrounding his heart/liver, etc. grossed him out but didn't turn the old lightbulb on upstairs. I've gotten somewhat exasperated after all the subtleties and said that I didn't marry him just to bury him in a few years.
He did agree to try to eat better foods, but the problem is that he usually eats at work, where the portions are huge and usually consists of some sort of deep-fried something. And he works 12-14 hour days or nights, whatever the case may be, so when we're both home he has absolutely no interest in going to the trail to walk the dog while I run ahead.
has anyone done the Medi-Fast program? I feel as though if he got some quick results, it would get him excited about the possibilities. I realize that losing a great deal in a short time frame is usually water weight, but I think if he got a bit of "hey, i can DO this!" he'd go all out and really try. I just don't want to harm his health..on top of what's already going on. ugh. awful Catch-22!!!
