Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 HI All.......I had my surgery in Nov 2000. I also had a major car acccident after on sept 2 2002...but thank God...I am FOR the most part ok. I was broadsided in the driverside going through my greenlight . He was going 55 then closed his eyes. I do have alot of pain and nerve issues, and I cannot enjoy my wt loss due to much pain and weakness. My question...before my accident, I weighed 235 or so. My dr said thats all I would loss basicly. I started at 412 I am 5'9 " and now (after accident)183..wearing a size 14-16 or a med-lg shirt and still loosing. It would be great if I can enjoy it but I am having nutrition poblems. I blamed the accident for awhile. I do my vits protein etc and I recently found out I have a pottasium deficiency. I went from the pill form to the liquid (YUK) 3 times a day for nooot absorbing the pill form. When I dont take it, I feel like a wet wash cloth. Even sometimes when I am being faithful, I still feel that way. My bloodwork is in normal range (to a degree but has dropped, and Im just so tierd of feeling so physically weak. I wonder of I need some sort of nutritional revision to gain some absorption back. I was a big girl (412), I wonder if I got an extra snip because of that. When I seen my dr at 234...he really didnt think Id get smaller. I know if hed see me hed be shocked. I do need to make an appointment. Feeling the way I have I was curious if theres anyone out there that has had a slight revision. Believe me...I LOVE the way I look. But if I have to feel this weak (I also recently foound out I have a pottasium deficiency where I take liquid pottasium 3 times [after I found the pills werent cutting it NO pills seem to] a day in order to 1/2 way function) Id rather gain a bit more weight. THe weakness is TO much. Ive tried all to make it go completely away, but it hasnt and I spend more time in bed then I do living. I havent had the oppurtunity to enjoy my size and it really isnt worth it to me. The tierdness is so real and depressing, I need to talk to anyone that has similar problems. This is serious and has lasted to long to overlook. Anyone that may have suggestions or similar issues I am all ears. Thank you for reading thiss and please...I dont get on line often due to my condition so please be patient with a response from me. Thank you for any insight anyone may haavr. Again I am faithful to protien drinks and vits. Everyone best of health! DonnaO PS please excuse my crosspost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Donna, Get to a doctor NOW. There is a problem, I can't even begin to know what it is, but I would push the Doctors until they figure it out. PLEASE get to a Doctor.
