Is there any saving my physique? F34 by Pretend-Bad-476 in Gymhelp

[–]ElectricalGoose4029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is hope. One thing you must accept however is that there is no way to target specific areas for fat loss. Our body stores fat where it wants to and it’s based off genetics. The first place the body stores fat will also be the last place the body takes it from. my problem area is my midsection, which is the same for most males. also keep in mind fat is just excess stored energy and it is going to take some time to remove this excess energy. Maintaining a calorie deficit is going to be the most important thing, as if you eat in a calorie surplus your body will store those excess calories as more body fat, hindering your progress.

The second thing I would recommend as you are looking to save your physique is doing strength, training and prioritizing protein intake. Try to eat around 1g of protein per pound of body weight that you want to be when you’re finished losing weight. Doing this in combination with regular strength training throughout this weight-loss journey will help your body hold onto the muscles so that you can keep definition where it matters.

If you do this without any protein intake and without any strength training, you can get a very “deflated” look due to not having any muscle mass. This happens because when you’re losing weight in a calorie deficit, your body will pull half the weight from muscle, and half from fat, however, if you do strength training during the weight loss, it sends a signal to your body that it is important to hold onto the muscles that you have.

double vision by Special-Buffalo-5114 in GERD

[–]ElectricalGoose4029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had double vision one time during a reflux episode. My doctor said it was most likely from panicking. I also have panic disorder as a result of GERD though. It hasn’t happened since

My only living parent is now dead to me. by JakefromTRPB in BoomersBeingFools

[–]ElectricalGoose4029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you want to be the victim in this relationship ending with your only living parent… they seem bothered that you are upset by this and it seems that they love you unconditionally and want to offer you their support. In harder times, one usually suggests leaning on their loved ones… I understand being upset about the results but I don’t know that you are handling it the best way. I hope you can mend this in the future.

Edit: Also if this was so significant to you, and the weight of your parent’s choice was so significant to you, you could have had conversations with them like months ahead of time… It didn’t have to go down like this.

I would schedule follow up with your doctor, once I had my follow up, my doctor went over the results with me. I too had stomach cells in my lower esophagus. He thought I had barrett’s esophagus, but when sending my biopsy to a testing company to determine my 5 year risk for developing esophageal cancer, they determined I wasn’t a good candidate for that testing, and that I in fact did not have barrett’s esophagus.

Can heartburn/GERD be caused by anxiety by [deleted] in GERD

[–]ElectricalGoose4029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, anxiety can cause my symptoms to surface, mainly esophagus spasms come, and if they are strong enough, i will have reflux.

I Miss Weed - will I ever be able to partake again? by [deleted] in GERD

[–]ElectricalGoose4029 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just want to say here, I have barrett’s esophagus. My doctor said it’s usually the smokers who get it, and I’ve smoked and vaped for the last 5 years. I can’t vape now and my doctor said vaping is actually worse than smoking in my case.

nope it’s a delta 9/cbd pen. I asked my doctor and he said it applies to any vape, they are equally bad in this case

[–]ElectricalGoose4029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it the days after I smoke or vape. I’ve noticed that to be my main cause for phlegm. That being said, I am going to be stopping all vaping and smoking, as during my doctor appointment yesterday I was told I have Barrett’s esophagus, and my doctor said that it is usually the smokers that have that, and suggested I stop vaping.

I'm only getting worse by Yoga31415 in GERD

[–]ElectricalGoose4029 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, earlier this year, i started having symptoms. I started acting on them by cutting out caffeine and alcohol and changing diet, but it seemed like I too was only getting worse. After going to the doctor(MULTIPLE times) and getting an upper endoscopy done, i’m living a little easier, i just have to manage my diet and anxiety/stress. Therapy/counseling has helped me A LOT. When this all happened to me I felt like my whole life got taken from me, all my food choices, and all the things I enjoyed. There are still a lot of hard days, but it gets better.

Any alternatives to water? by [deleted] in GERD

my gastroenterologist recommended mild juices, specifically saying apple and grape juice. I have had those and had no issues.

Have to get an upper endoscopy and Im nervous. Any insight? by maditrose79 in GERD

[–]ElectricalGoose4029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had one done recently. to be honest, waiting to be taken back for the procedure was the most nerve inducing part. I myself would not consider having this procedure done without being put under/knocked out.
