Thom Stépan Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks guys. She had about 80cm, 30 inches, of bowel removed. Apparently that section contained one of the two sweet spots for absorbing fluids. So dehydration and diarhea (sp?) are going to be life long issues. Add a heatwave and we have problems. On the plus side she has lost about 40kg, 85lb, in the last year.

moomin Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Dehydration and diarrhea? Like, if you drink water you'll have diarrhea but when you don't drink you get dehydrated and go into shock? That sounds troublesome. It is good that she has you to take care of her.

Thom Stépan Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Pretty much moomin. She has to take anti diarrhea medication. But it isn't an exact science some food will go right through her (bread for example) some won't. Dietary planning is a nightmare at the moment. Because we just don't know what will get absorbed and what will leave her body faster than a Metalhead at a Beiber concert. Oh and I am lucky to have her. Bec helps me from going into depression overload. 5 Quote Where to find me: Current Challenge : Battle Log : Facebook : Instagram : "Each day, just focus on getting 1% better in whatever it is you're trying to improve.

Basement Cat Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Your are both brave people and you are lucky to have each other. It's easier to go through rough patches when you are with someone to help and support you. I wish all the best to both of you.

Teros Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Are those homemade sunny doodles? I LOVE sunnydoodles! Are you compiling a huge yes/no foods list? That seems like it would be very time consuming to use trial and error to see how it effects her. Quote Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Wow Thom, I can only say what has already been posted, you guys are very lucky to have each other, and I wish you both well. Food truly can be the enemy sometimes, and I am very fortunate my family has few issues with it (although eldest is anaphylactic to the usual, all nuts and bees). 2 Quote Wait! What............?

Thom Stépan Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 The problem with food lists is that the same food can effect her differently on different days. At this stage bread and spicy stuff are definite no-nos. Potatoes can be hit or miss. Same with some green vegies. Some fats are ok others are not. Woden uses ravens for messages, I use a Samsung S4.

SevenofSeven Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have seen on here that week 3 is usually a bad one for most. Although I would say you have had a few more hurdles than most. Week 4 is going to be the comeback week! We will rock this 4 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

Thom Stépan Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ok update time, I so gotta update first and read everyone's logs second. Tuesday stepcount: 9364 for 7.49km. Wednesday no BBWW, stepcount 12758 for 10.21km So that is 17.7km added to my total. 215.2km which means 133.72 miles down on my walk. Just over a mile until I reach Bree (millenium bug and shrimp).

Thom Stépan Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well today is my monthly measurement day. I have just realised that I have been a member for two months now. I am definitely noticing the changes as well particularly with my shrinking stomach and increasing ability to do the BBWW. I have many new friends here on NF, who tell me I am doing great and to keep up my good work. I read stories of these amazing people who are overcoming huge obstacles to achieve a healthy lifestyle. NF is addictive. Anyway enough of this sappy stuff and on with the important measuring day figures. Weight 119.2kg [-0.3kg]Bodyfat % 34.08 [1.9%]Bodyfat weight 40.56kg [-2.44kg]Lean bodyweight 78.44 [+1.94kg]Neck 44cm [+1cm]Chest 126cm [-1cm]Waist 120cm [-4cm] Hips 118cm [+1cm]Thighs 60cm [+4cm]Biceps 36cm [no change] So lots of movement over the past month. My overall weight has changed only slightly, but 4cm [that is 1.57inches] off of the belly!!! Woohoo!!! That is one of my goals achieved. The other major change is my bodyfat percentage a massive 1.9% in a month. I am well on my way to hitting my long term goal of 17% bodyfat. Oh and compared to my initial figures that I posted in December my bf% has dropped by 2.36% and my waist by 7cm [2.75 inches]. This is what I have done thanks to the encouragement I get from NF. This goes to show that so long as you are doing something you will achieve good results. Even if you don't hit all your goals. This really ties in with the Adventurers mini challenge of Perseverance. Just keep going you will succeed. 4 Quote Where to find me: Current Challenge : Battle Log : Facebook : Instagram : "Each day, just focus on getting 1% better in whatever it is you're trying to improve.
