lazer,
so sorry to hear that you are struggling and in pain. It is hard to stay positive when you are in pain. I will be praying for you that your pain can come back under control and you can be more active again soon!

you can over come this! I know that at this moment it must feel so overwhelming, but you can do this!

Hi,
Don't know where you are on this journey. Sounds like maybe you have been around a while. Stick to your plan and it wil happen for you.

Lazer - don't give up. You can do this. I broke my tailbone on Thanksgiving morning and have been living with chronic pain since then. But my doc refuses to give up and we have been trying different things.

Chronic pain is absolutely debilitating and I understand why you don't want to get out of your chair. Advocate for yourself and go back to your doc and keep trying until you are out of pain. There is no excuse for you to have to suffer.

Then go back to the basics. Protein shakes, water. You can do this honey!!!

I agree with Seneca...I had major emergency surgery this summer and was in major pain for only 6 weeks but it was debilitating and was overwhelming. I had to advocate (actually I had my mom advocate for me) to get the pain under control. You deserve to be pain free and the doctor can do that...don't give up. As for the weight gain...you can get back on the wagon. It will be much easier when you are feeling better. You can get a start now by buying the protein shake that you like and substituting that for your breakfast and one of your snacks and making sure that you are getting between 64 and 90 ounces of water or other sf and caffeine free liquid a day. Then focus on making protein the star of every meal. Make sure you are taking all of your vitamins each day as well...that is so important. I hope that you are able to find some resolution. I am sorry that you are going through so much.

I don't over eat @ most meals. I nibble all day . Don't get much
Excersise. Can eat most anything. I am tired all the time.
Had my surgery in 2007.
One thing sticks in my head...my wife says she likes the old me better!
Brrr-22 degrees here in north Minn.

Lazer,

so sorry you're in pain, and having a hard time. I have been in a lot of pain for the last five years, and use a rolling walker to get around the house, but my pain HAS let up, since surgery and losing weight my first month post op.

Maybe you can see if you can get a walker, to take some of the weight off your feet and your pain ful areas????

I hope you find the way it works for you, and one that makes you feel less pain, and help you in your journey!!

Make sure you keep posting here, and ck'g in with us.

I wish you a happy and healthier New Year!

I'm so sorry you are in pain.

I hope you stick around and get back on track. It sounds like you are going to have to have to be incredibly tenacious to get things back under control. This is a great group of people - lots of wisdom and support!

Hey Lazer... Haven't seen you on here in a long time! Sorry to hear you're in so much pain buddy. Yes it's freezing here in northern MN. Ish. Hehe. Hang in there!

Sorry you are struggling. You came back to the right place though. I don't post as much as I lurk and read, but I do learn so much and hopefully if you do the same you will get on the right track again. I can't speak to the pain issues but empathize with the struggles. Hang in there.
