Anybody ever lose loads of weight due to illness etc??

[solidspine]

I just had surgery yesterday and weighted myself in the OR, down 10 lbs in 3 weeks do to an injury

more than the weight, what really affects me is when I go back the first day to the gym and I can't even lift half of what I used to. That shit kills me, watching kids lifting heavier weights than me. lol and of course looking like shit.

Oh god, i forgot about that! I put my warm up weight on the bench bar after that and the shit dropped on my chest and some 60 year old dude had to get it off me! True story! i left and did not come back for 3 weeks!!!!

Or for any reason actually? If so:

1) How the hell did you cope mentally with the clothes just falling off you as opposed to feeling tight?

2) How long did you take to get it all back?

As many of the vet's on here know I have been gone better part of the last year due to spinal cord injury which lead to surgery, and I have only been working out again for the past 2 weeks, so no where near even being back in the groove yet. Coping with it was and is VERY tough, all I can say is find something or better yet someone that motivates you to get out of the depression slump. For me, my cousin and I who is in Iraq, started talking and emailing daily. After seeing what those guys are going thru over there, and seeing their progress and taking the time everyday to workout or do cardio while fighting the war in between every workout, I figured if they can do it, I can do it. I'm proud to say that I have been sending cases of Beverly International protein powder and supplements to the war for soldiers to use over that cheap crap they were trying to stomach from local sources and military stock. their progess over the last 9 months has been inspirational, I hope this helps, it's a deep slump and hard to crawl out of.

i think the hardest part of a comeback is getting out of the slump and motivating urself to get back into the game.

i had a bad accident a few years ago n couldn't train for about four months. i lost about forty pounds and all of my motivation. AFTER my docs gave me the okay it took a few months for me to get back into it. but once i did, i put the weight back on MUCH faster than it originally took. and as we all know, that in itself will give u motivation. hardest part was that first trip BACK to the gym

i got pretty ill end of my freshman year, ralphed everyday and could eat almost nothing cuz id just throw it up. I ate maybe a bagel and a bowl of ramen noodles everyday. Lost about 20 lbs in 2 weeks, which was rough because im already a hardgainer. Sucked ass, cuz there was nothing i could do about it, and i couldnt lift because id lose even more weight. I started to get pretty pussyish, hell even my girlfriend outweighed me, but then again she gained about 25 lbs from fresh year. Im guessing it was that nasty ass dorm food or somthing with preservatives, no doctors could figure it out. Anyway, took me the summer to get it back, and then some.

but yea, it definantly sucks getting small, but its unbelievably frusterating when you finally try and lift again and realize that you can do shit, and just lost weeks, months, or even years worth of progress.

"You must spread some Karma around before giving it to indy69camaro again"

What is the website or who do you contact to send supps to our boys??

I'm not a millionaire or something, in fact, I'd like to have some extra bucks to buy some supps for me, but man, there are no words or money in this world to thank these guys for what they're doin'. And just a single scoop of protein a day can give a nice smile to cover those tears in those young brothers fighting a "weird" war.

I had cancer. It eat up my muscles and left my fat, some cancers do that. My cloths fall off me but it isn't a problem for me because I am still alive. Lots of doctors thought I was going to die. I refused and fought tooth and nail to live. SO losing muscle compared to losing life isn't such a big thing.

lose about 20lbs every year when I have knee surgery and can't lift for 6weeks.
