Moving my body weight with Multiple Sclerosis is so painful.

Im getting a gastric bypass soon. Dont care how i look, just want to be able to chase my daughter around and watch her graduate.
YouSaveTheDay
Try microdosing THC to help with the pain.
DMZgamer
Biking is pretty good too

whats wrong with wanting to look good? dont let people make you feel guilty for doing something. no ones opinion of you matters
MaximumHomerdrive
If it improves quality of life, go for it!

Lupus, fibromyalgia and RA here, I completely understand your situation. If you ever need to talk / vent please feel free to message!
missnye
Will do! I have an appointment with rheumatology on the 13th because of Lupus markers also....? Oof.
Eseptember
That's the main reason it was created. Good luck with your surgery. It's worth it.
KiraSolar
I can relate! I have ehlers-danlos syndrome. The heavier I am the more my joints dislocate etc. Gl OP I hope things get better
missnye
Oof!! All my ♡ to you :( Why can't we be cyborgs yet?
PolyTheWicked
I get it. I’m fat. People don’t understand how difficult it is to exercise with chronic pain. And PCOS to add insult to injury.
jessiepinkman
I've had severe chronic backpain for 9 years and I understand all about trying to exercise with it...so many forms i just can't do now and2/
PolyTheWicked
Yep. And if you’re fat or need a handicap placard, people just think you’re lazy. It sucks.
jessiepinkman
its frustrating sometimes - even worse is having no endurance. One set of stairs and I'm done for the afternoon, the pain empties your 3/

I love marshmallows, donuts are way too much XD

My grandad had MS, and my dad has MS. I'm starting to display some symptoms of CIS and I'm terrified.
betmcc19721
Don't people w MS lose a lot of weight from the disease?
AttilaMadeMeDoIt
It depends. Some lose weight from many factors and some gain weight. Most common weight gain factor is steroid therapy. Second is depression
discorage
No. I've lost over 100 pounds but it's because I stopped drinking like an idiot.
Dickslover
High doses of steroids to combat the inflammation can lead to weight gain in some individuals.
sweetlittlebee
No. One of my best friends has it and had been fighting to lose weight. Three of the people that I took care of had weight problems.
sweetlittlebee
I think it depends on the person and what type of MS that have, their medications, and the severity of it.
missnye
God I wish MS allowed me to lose weight.
mephiston
Look into something like DDP Yoga maybe. I've seen people get results on that who have MS.
missnye
I love my local hot yoga studio, but I'm currently battling an infection, on week 3 and am on strict orders from doc that's a no go for now.
Aeonika
The DDP guy has one for yoga you can do in a chair and bed as well, might be helpful once your doc says ok.
mephiston
dang. get well soon, dude. I've had a chest infection for the last 6 weeks and am banned from exercise so i know the feeling.
missnye
Thanks dude, you too! Hot tea, lots of water, zinc, vitamin c, and whatever meds they've got you on! ♡
CG24
This might be silly, but have you tried the yoga app down dog? It’s all levels & great! Might be good if you can’t get to the studio :)
neomon
Same here. Suffering from Multiple sclerosis and endometriosis. Went through a lot but an nutritionist actually helped me losing weight. 1/2
neomon
He asked what I could eat/do and we worked it out together. If you want to talk/cry/scream at the ms you can message me.Sometimes helps alot
GlatSomEnIsbjoern
My father has MS, he's very underweight and still have a hard time walking etc. Do what ever you can/want to get better. My sympathies.
missnye
Oof, all my love to you and your family. ♡ :( I have the energy but my body just is failing.
GlatSomEnIsbjoern
Can't imaging the struggle. My love to you!
kneedeepinyouremergency
I got lipo in my abdomen so I could do physical therapy. Omg what a difference.
missnye
Literally I want it for my lower torso for my back and legs. Getting up and down is getting harder and harder.
kneedeepinyouremergency
Unless you get a specialist, they never take off as much as they really can. Wish I had researched more beforehand.
koshiroboto
You can get liposuction for whatever reason you want. It's your body, go for it.

Yes! 100% yes!

The problem is most good doctors will try to fight you on it, and ask that you only consider it as a last resort.
crazyspelling
For sure. "First we need to get your weight as low as it can go with diet and exercise, then we can remove whatever fat cells are left." Thx
DogeTheBugBountyHunter
What if someone wants lipo to celebrate Hitler’s birthday, huh? What about then?
koshiroboto
We all have our own special ways to celebrate the happy memories in our life.
TCGView
I don't have MS, but I definitely have problems with most of the joints in my body. Started with my back at 14 and just got worse with time.
Ionlypostbatmanandbatmanrelatedthings
Tried to cut out fast food.
missnye
Yeap. Even have quick make foods at home for when I can barely move from pain. Hard boiled egg whites, bagels with schmear, salads..
DangrebeTheMangrebe
Bagels and cream cheese are super bad for you and way too caloric
missnye
However dark leafy greens make the IBS worse, grains bloat my stomach, and anything with a seed tears me up.
missnye
Also need to stay away from red meats, sulfur foods, and that leaves mostly chicken and fruit. With fruit being full up on sugars. :(
DangrebeTheMangrebe
Building muscle will also help burn more fat (or let you eat more) so even beginner workouts are key
DangrebeTheMangrebe
Look up and calculate your TDEE, total daily energy expenditure, and it will tell you how many calories to eat for good weightloss
DangrebeTheMangrebe
Eat veg, mushrooms, fish, egg whites. Most importantly stop eating so much. Count calories, overestimate intake, under estimate limit.
missnye
Yeah portion control and calorie counting are where I'm at right now. Doesnt help when my partner doesnt understand the need for portions.
montechia
Have you talked to your primary care physician? It's amazing what you can do if it's approved by a doctor. <3
missnye
I have a referral for a gastro.. but..I'm trying to get pregnant first. Goals are right now...
missnye
Exercise when I can, baby, gastro, move on with my life.
Schwebz
Both are acceptable reasons
mpdavis73
Would that actually help?
MexicanTrainer
Yes. Multiple sclerosis is a disease on the nervous system, making everything in the neural network less effective including your muscles.
Rodvitner
Carrying around extra weight puts a lot of stress on your body. Grab 10-20kg of stuff and try walking around with it all the time.
Rodvitner
Then imagine a lot of people carry 2-3x more weight all the time, even when sitting around etc
soundnote8
Only temporarily. Eating habits are what keep the weight up, and nobody's outrunning their fork unless they're super active as athletes.
MexicanTrainer
You have a point but don't have to be super athletic to keep a healthy weight. If that's what someone considers attractive is another story.
soundnote8
I meant that you need to be really athletic to outrun bad eating habits, not that you can't achieve a healthy weight while being lazy.
MexicanTrainer
Oh yeah if your eating habits are bad then it doesn't matter how good you are in the gym. It's going to affect your body badly.
sweetiebabycookiehoney
Hippotherapy ? The one with horses... Works wonders along with plant based eating and antiinflamitory supplements
missnye
Working on having a place to adopt a horse now actually ♡ Going to visit stables in the area this weekend.
KiwiGameDev
Go for it! Don’t let anyone else stop you from doing something you know is good for you
Lulabel73
Can lipo do that much though? What about lap band surgery?
soundnote8
If you get liposuction, the weight will just come back the same way it came in the first place: From how you eat. The body is 1/?
soundnote8
11/? It was mindblowing. No starvation, no nothing. Just eat a little less, and do that consistently, and 10kg/22lbs would just slowly melt
soundnote8
6/? it needs an energy input to maintain. Overeating yourself into being fat and the fat just kinda staying there is not a thing - if you
soundnote8
10/? I'd need ~2400kcal/day to sustain my existence at that weight. For 84-ish kg, the upper end of the healthy weight range? 2200kcal/day
soundnote8
4/? big as the wood intake can maintain since it's constantly burning wood. A living creature is the same: Food is fuel, and if we're too
soundnote8
9/? how much I was eating and how much I had to cut was how small a cut would cause a big difference: I'm largely sedentary, at ~95kg/210lbs
soundnote8
8/? burn the fat off to maintain its bigger size if you only put in enough to maintain a smaller you. One surprise I had when figuring out
soundnote8
7/? have too much weight, you're actively maintaining it. All that's needed to get rid of it is to stop maintaining it - the big body will
soundnote8
12/? off over time. It's such a small cut, but with a big impact. The cut also doesn't have to happen in one go - all that's needed is that
soundnote8
3/? But if you start putting Nwood/15min into the bonfire, it will start to shrink until it is just a campfire again - the fire is only as
soundnote8
2/? like a campfire: You steadily put in N pieces of wood per 15min, you keep a campfire going. Put 3N, it swells into a bonfire.
soundnote8
14/? because as long as you get back on track, the mistake will get erased just as the initial weight was.
soundnote8
5/? big, it's because we keep putting in too much food. Our fat is made up of living cells that have a metabolism just like any other, ie.
soundnote8
13/? you put in less fuel than your big body needs to exist, and do that consistently. Will you slip and overeat? Yes, and that's no biggie,
TheRicM
Is Tai Chi an option? It has helped my movement tremendously
missnye
Loving my hot yoga, but I've been on exercise restriction because of an infection for 3 weeks now. I'm going crazy.
TheRicM
I see. Tai chi has helped all my other practices in many aspects like balance, fine motor skills, etc. Wishing you the best on your path!
missnye
You too! ♡
retailmemedrone
I understand your issue, but coming from someone who has had to make this decision let me give some advice. 1/2
retailmemedrone
Lipo is a medical proceedire with ALL the risks of such, and if you do decide to do so you must be 100% sure of the facility to do it 2/3
retailmemedrone
There are 2 paths for this proper diet and exercise or the surgery. Either way you will get results, but you have to maintain either way.3/4
retailmemedrone
Before undergoing surgery he sure to look into other exercise routines such as water therapy or swimming low impact and resistance helps.4/5
retailmemedrone
Before you get surgery if you decide to still start a diet and exercise routine. It will help you keep the weight off successfully good luck
justapersontryingtospreadunity
you & me both. let me know how it works out
lolwaitwut0
Just FYI, lipo is a major surgery. It can take 6 months to recover. And if you don’t have your diet in-control, you’ll regain it all in that
lolwaitwut0
Time. Look into newer techniques than lipo, there’s a few that have shorter recovery times (2-3 weeks). But should still work on diet first.
missnye
Trying to just do calorie restriction right now. It's just hard because my macros are out of whack from what I can/can't eat.
or123ju45
Look for Anthony William, medical medium :)
breakingcode
can you do Keto? I tried a LOT of stuff and keto was the only thing I could easily keep up with.
justapersontryingtospreadunity
I fast almost 4 days a week, skip meals.
Gregorthesnake
You got this!
LockstinGnoggin
I read The Obesity code, applied it, and lost over 100 pounds in a year with a sizable calorie surplus! Highly recommend it.
Sinsemillia
Am trying to lose weight as well. It's all about eating less, healthy and at the right time. No late night snacks
girlsdontp00p
Drink nothing but water homie
missnye
No one comes over because all I have to drink at home are hot teas, black coffee or water XD My bestie was out and I forgot ...
missnye
Her kid needed something to sustain himself other than water....XD
onibakusjg
Many auto immune diseases stem from inflammation in the body. Cutting out sugars and processed food will do a lot to reduce inflammation.
justapersontryingtospreadunity
I have a couple of those & cutting sugar did make a difference
missnye
Until your depression hits because you dont have a coping mechanism yet for when you cant yoga and then have sugar again.
missnye
And then you have to sugar detox all, fucking, over again.
justapersontryingtospreadunity
I drink Coke/Pepsi Zero. That's my sugar.
