I look sickly right now.I'm at the point where I don't like looking at the mirror.

The day will come again when you will be watching your weight like I am! Try drinking Ensure with fiber--that is what turned the corner for me and helped me put the weight back on. It's nutritious and has lots of calories in it!

I'm glad to hear that the weight loss is a common thing, because I was starting to get concerned. I've lost 20 pounds since this started in August and just recently my belt became too large.
I've seen most of my family in the last month for the first time in a long while, and the only one who made a comment was mother. She said something like "Don't lose too much weight." Everyone certainly noticed my eating and drinking habits (I turned down a Whataburger, my favorite junk food!), but just think that I'm on a diet.

I rec'd many comments also about my weight when I was too thin. One person commented, "Whatever you took out of your diet, you'd better put it back in." Personally, I think it is very rude to comment about one's weight--we don't often make a comment to another person that they are overweight/too fat!!!!!!! My mother was genuinely concerned about me, so I will give her a pass on the comments that she made to me! My BMI is now 24, and after one recovers from a fissure, that is what will happen. Everything will be OK again, but when a person is thing, it is hard to believe that they will be a normal weight again. That is why this forum is good--to let others know that there is lots of hope!!!
