Hi Dave,

Haven't seen you around for a several days so just posting to let you know if things have got a bit rough your end that we're thinking of you and sending lots of healing thoughts.

Hope you're soon well enough to grace us with your usual insightful and empathetic wisdom (and sometimes irreverent humor).

Cheers bluesfan

Good Luck Dave on your mission to lose some weight.

I know how hard that "battle" is ... hence the saying " battle of the bulge"
:-)


I try to fill up on lean protein along with my veggies... but I CRAVE those carbs!!!

I noticed that one of the side effects of many meds I've been on is weight gain.

Some meds can slow metabolism , retain water and just make me hungry.

For the metabolism, I started eating more spices that help speed it up like
chili powder, cumin,turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.

Looking forward to your updates....

Dave, I hope that you are OK - haven't seen you round for a bit.

Bit worried and concerned about you.

Dear All,

Thank you all for your concern, I have detailed what's been going on on dear Diandra's Thread, Linked above. It's too painful to type repeats here.

One thing that I have not lost sight of is my weight loss goal. I reached a total loss of 28lbs in 10 weeks last Saturday. I am in a good routine, still have cravings and hunger because of the Metoclopramide, but I am winning with all your support.

Dave.

Hi vintagewine,

All I have done is cut out the Junk, balanced my diet, controlled portions and cut calories to 12-1300 per day (under my GP). I fight against Mirtazapine which has psychological effects and Metoclopramide which empties the stomach quickly.

I miss spices, they are a sure trigger for my Hypersensitivity and Neuropathy. For a treat my daughter made chicken curry from scratch on Saturday. The Garam Masala made my already aggravated nerves burn like H… for 24 hours. At least at the time the meal was worth it - 720cals including Basmati Rice.

Dave.
