well it went well with my bone specialist she was very pleased with my progress after all im about 12 kilos heavier than when she last saw me . she checked me over she said that i was to stick with it and all the pains in my muscles and back would go away as i restored more weight. i hope shes right ive been in so much pain of late and im so restricted on what i can do . she said i looked 10 years younger so i did look like a haggered old women she said i looked about 20:). she has arranged for me to have a bone density scan she said she would hope it would of stayed the same or gone up, she said there no reason if i keep gaining weight why i cant reverse all or most of the damage done she gain me hope . got home and did my exercises that the physio gave me and i pulled my groin :( god im as bad as burnt as scalded . so im struggling more to walk now. i feel so stupid ive done a bit of a silly thing dont laugh im egg bound literally . my theapist said she didnt think i was eating enough protein and she was certain my muscle pain would get better if i ate me . so i was a little scared to eat anything else at the moment so i ve been eating 4 whole egg whites aday my stomach is enormous and im so constipated im sure this is because of the eggs . i have theapy and a weigh in tomorrow so im a little worried i feel huge ive stopped eating the egg whites now but i still havnt been . i know it was stupid now . so no more eggs for a while , hope i go soon its very uncomfortable . quite embrassing really when the consultant was checking me over i felt so full of wind however i holded in i dont know. i got an appointment for hydrotheapy through its next tuesday a bit dubeous about wearing a swimming cotsume and its be hoped i go to the loo by then or it will be like a jacuzzi . its 5pm now dark and cold one of those nights for struggling up to the fire i wish you all a peaceful evening , i nearly forgot RIP to all those who lost there lifes fighting for our country h xx
You are doing great! Hugs |
A jacuzzi! Oh, Helen, you made me laugh! Could you try beans for protein as well? They have good protein,but they certainly don't bind you up because they have fiber as well. Not sure they would help in the wind department, though. Also, stretching, warm baths, and warm liquids can help ease things through. Good luck! |
Great job! In no time you will be renewed. :) Remember that you are never ever alone! <3

I am glad you look younger! Please remember that the nutrition that will benefit you most resides in the yolk. Please eat whole eggs instead. Stick your tongue out at the voice and tell it to go, stuff itself. |
thanks guys jannid i knw you are right x |
Ruxie and Jan make good points! Bean soup is lovely, and whole hardboiled eggs are great snacks, and both are very nutritious. Good job with your bone density scan! Keep it up :) Mmmm, how about some egg drop soup? |
Oh dear! You may find orange juice helps to speed things along a little. I hope you feel a little more comfortable soon x |
Helen you are so silly[: I bet you look fab! No older then 17 hhaha! Keep doing it --- you are doing such a great job. And if you ever ever ever wanna talk you know where to find me x |
I had people tell me I looked younger when I got better, and it's true! I am sure you look lovely now and will look even better when you are fully weight restored Helen, you will have to post new pics so we can admire you! I agree with eating whole eggs, also soups like minestrone, or lentil and tomato soup (bacon goes really well in this) that are high in fibre. And finally drink lots of hot tea! |
thanks mery , sophie your so sweet the same applys to you xxxx |
Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job! I'll send you a PM. :) |
LOVE the new pic! You are looking so pretty! |
thanks jannid |
I just saw your new picture - you are looking very pretty! My second daughter has blue eyes and blonde hair just almost your shade. |
you're doing so well :D |
I'm so happy, at least you know what is going on.... You are doing miraculously well and I am sure all will improve as you continue to...Though still In Michigan..i think about you all the time... Again, such a pretty picture... Miss you so very much....xoxo ((((HUGS)))))) |
Did you know that the egg yolk is about the best nutrient powerhouse available? It's got all your calcium absorption minerals, iron, and the fats to get your period! And SO much more filling than just the white--which btw is mostly water, not all the quality protein, really. more of a diet subsitute to barely hold you over and not give you much nutritional value. |
Oh mah lord..hun, you are doing very well! Who cares if you're havin' tons of eggs? You are getting a lot of protein into your body and this will over time enable your body to just..feel better. I love the fact that you're LISTENING to your body and to what you need to do to make the pain go away. You are healing yourself and it is beautiful..YOU are beautiful. <3 Honestly. You're doing so so well, keep it up mah dear. =) |
thanks hotsauce hope you are ok xx |
Just saw your new pic and LOVED it!!! I think I can clearly see some BEAUTIFUL Improvement in your Lovely face-- especially the area above your brows-- along the sides, in your temples... Not as hollow as they were-- much more Graceful looking now! Filled out even a little bit is sooo Attractive for you!!! Eat your protein-- you're gonna' be 'Drop dead Gorgeous' when you get your full health back! |
I just wanted to tell you that I love your new picture! Oh and your description of the 'jacuzzi' was hilarious. I hope you're feeling better now! |
