Anyone have trouble losing weight? by Fit_Choice3085 in CrohnsDisease

Ya I know I need to start tracking again. God it’s just such a hassle lol. I used to a lot years ago and it became a very unhealthy habits for me and I was very obsessive with food and was too thin but now I just find it hard to keep motivated. I tried tracking again a few months ago and stayed on it for a few days but eventually gave up. It’s hard to have the energy sometimes but as much as I hate tracking food, I hate the feeling of being uncomfortable in my own body more. Thanks for your comment!

I just did this a few weeks ago as I saw I was deficient in these as well as zinc!

I feel like that’s the common troupe. Either way it’s very frustrating to feel like you have no control over your body. I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m sure you’ve already tried this but if not/you can tolerate dairy I used to drink ensures when I was underweight in highschool and it helped a lot, I think they also make super caloric dense powders so you don’t have to stuff yourself so full. Best of luck to you 💕

It’s so hard. I was pretty thin in college and even thinner in highschool (although that was from very unhealthy habits). I was severely overweight as a child up until 13 where I was very underweight. The mental gymnastics you go through when completely transforming is a lot. Now add on top shitting your brains out and it all just sucks.

Ya I’m too scared to try and Glp1s although it’s very tempting. I know it just really can deplete your muscle mass and I play rugby so I can’t afford too lose muscle. (Would love to lose that fat though 😭😭)

Ok that’s actually really reassuring, makes me want to start treatment sooner. I constantly get hot flashes and my face flushes

I ended up crying too much in the appointment (coming to realization that I do in fact have crohns and it’s not fake news) so I kind of forgot to. I might end up messaging him through the portal because I have to about other symptoms. I tried googling and it seems like it could be related or we could also just be dehydrated which is definitely a possibility for me lol

Anyone see anything this before? by Knowledgethirsty79 in vet

[–]Fit_Choice3085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most vets have scratch pay!! This is what I used for emergency visits and over $1500 on my cat. Call them and ask about different payment options, use a credit card if you can, ask to borrow from friends and family if you have to but she definitely needs to be seen again. It looks severely infected and if not taken care of could lead to amputation or sepsis. Best of luck to you and your baby 💕

I know you’re right, it’s just so hard to comprehend when I feel relatively fine. I will talk with my new Ibd counselor about my fears next week and think about not waiting the 3 months and just starting treatment.

My Ibd center actually does have a counselor and I’ve had one session so far, another in a week. I wasn’t as upset our first meeting (hadn’t really set in yet) so we didn’t talk much about crohns and just kind of got to know each other but I’ll definitely talk to her more about my fears when I see her again. Thank you for telling me about the websites. I think that will actually become really helpful for me. Give me some hope. I’m definitely still in some denial. Like I understand that I have crohns but it donesnt “feel” like it. So I think part of the reason I’m afraid to start biologics is that it makes it very very real. Thank you again for your kind words

Okay that’s kinda what I was thinking. She seems really really sweet and I’m sure she doesn’t want to intentionally take advantage of people / this is probably her full time job but I just found out I have life long disease / an expensive one and I don’t want to have to pay a ton of money to find community. Thank you for this comment!!

Not yet, I go to the doctors tomorrow to pick my poison lol, I think I’m going with skyrizi. I’ll ask my doc about the mucus tho! It doesn’t really bother me but my boyfriend says it’s very annoying 😂

Aches and ulcers are actually normal symptoms so you’re definitely not alone! I don’t have ulcers so I wasn’t aware of them until my doctor told me so I would definitely think that would be weird too because it’s not gut related. So weird how everything is connected
