Re: Post whipple weight gain/loss

[Guest guest]

Carol tell me how you did that I was 140 when I got sick and now 190 and can

loose I don't eat much and I have a problem loosing weight. How has the wipple

helped you and how long have you been feeling better and how did you get the

weight off cause you feel better and can do more. I don't leave the house long.

I stay home alot. I am so depressed over all this weight I was heavy all my life

since 6yrs old kids teased me at school and spit on me beat me up and said god

awful things to me. I had no friends. It was sad. I got older and tryed every

diet in the book Lost here and there the one that did help was accupunter for

weight but only this one very old chinese man. I tryed with others but he knew

his stuff. I got down to 103 the lowest I ever been my whole life. I went up to

110 120 and stayed there for years. Before we got married and I had went from

154 to 140 I felt I was on my way down again. after we got home from our

honeymoon The attacks started and were worse and longer I complained to a

General doc for about 6 years he could never find it so I went to the hospital

and a GI doc found it. So this is where I am today. I want to at least feel nice

about my self but instead I am depressed and don't want anyone to see me like

this. It is so bad I am always sad I can't lose weight .Maybe you can help me.

my email is sparklewithlucy@... if you want to email me this way or

whatever you want is fine too. thank you. Lucy

Post whipple weight gain/loss

Or, how many sizes do you have in your closet?

I was 175 when I had my first attack last Thankgiving.

135 when I had the whipple.

120 at this writing. No Olive Oil jokes please. Oh, yeah, I am

5'9 " .

Will I gain some of the weight back? Still having some eating

issues. I am wearing baggy 10's as I refuse to buy anything

smaller.

What type of weight changes did you guys have?

Carol,

You don't have to have a Whipple to have that kind of weight gain/loss. As

I've said earlier, I've gained/lost a total of 60+ pounds just by having CP!!

Lost

30, gained 30, lost 30 again, gained 28.......and just in the last week now I've

lost 8. With me it goes up and down on a week to week basis.

I'm 5'- 8 " , with a small bone structure. The clothes in my wardrobe range from

size 0-6.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
