As you are aware I have been having some problems with weight loss. I have worked very hard this month to increase my caloric intake as a way to reduce my weight loss (eating more often, new foods, more calories, higher levels of fat per serving, etc.). The direct result of this is two fold. First, I have had a significant increase in my pancreatic pain. Second, I have reduced the speed at which I am loosing weight. With just a day left in the month it looks like my weight loss this month will be just under 7 pounds.
More importantly I have not had to buy new pants in at least 4 weeks.
I was doing some research tonight and it is clear to me that I need to discuss the Pancreatic part of my diagnosis with the doctor more. Apparently there are some basic things I can be doing to reduce pancreatic pain like not drinking coffee and keeping my fat intake real low. None of these things alone though are going to "fix" this problem.
One thing I have learned through all this is that there may not be a fix...but that doesn't mean we can't try to make things better.
Funny thing is when all this started I was happy about the easy weight loss, we can all afford to loose a few pounds right! But here I am not that far from the start of it all and I really wish it would just stop. Goes to show that all good things have their limits.
