I realize how difficult it is for you to keep up with stocking the pantry but it is absolutely necessary. I keep a bunch of canned vegetables on hand like cut green beans, etc. and a jar of peanut butter so I am never totally out of food. I also keep some can tuna, salmon, etc. I usually run out of perishable items and just do without them untl grocery time but I always have a stock of those can items. At least enough for 2 weeks.

I was told that extra body weight will affect the results of a NCS/EMG and are more difficult to perform. Maybe as the weight continues to come off, you will be in a better place to get the testing done if it is still necessary at that time.

Good luck to you.
