im morbidly obese
I have a huge health delimma; I have Chronic Obsturctive Pulmonary
Disease; borderline asmatic; according to my pulmonary dr. I also have severe sleep apena. I have had many, many, major stomach operations. I suffer from Major Depression, colotis, differticulitis, gastritis, neumoria in my feet; and high triglyceritates. Every time I see my critical care pulmonary Dr. he tells me "Your going to die" you must loose weight. I am not now; nor will I ever be a canadiate for gastric bypass. I have to many adhesions; they took 6 hours just to get to my ovaries in Aug 2004. Thats the time I had an ingunial hernia repaired in an emergency surgery. I am now on 2 liters of oxygen prn; albuterol; and my sleep apena is at the highest possible setting 20. I know I have to eat less and exercise by I have a chronically ill husband, he is in end stage renal failure, has cornary artery disease, has had 4 heart attacks; 13/ports/accesses/fistulas place for dialysis. He also suffers from a broken collar bone and shoulder that cannot be addressed until 6 months after the last heart attack which was Aug 26, 2006. He suffers from rheumotoid/osteoarthritis & psydo gout. Food to me is not to live. Its my comfort and once I get beyond that I think I can loose weight on my own. Im under so many stressors; and I just cant seem to get myself together one step forward and three steps back! I thank God we are alive and still able to joke about what happens; but I was overwhelmed and overdosed in June of this year. I'd rather be dead that to live with these limitations that are somewhat/mostly my fault. I need suggestions from folks on how to eat "within" my husbands boundries. No cheese/dairy to much phosphrus; no broccoli; tomatoes; potatoes; to much potassium; he is a brittle diabetic; and I DO NOT want to become one. Please if any of you all can help guide me; I be 4ever thankful. I just bougth the book about the new food pyramid. Hoping to go to water areobics etc. Drs cleared me for that. Life is just one obstical after another; if you can't help in any other way PRAY for the two of us. My names Rhonda and my husband is Harry. Im new to this area/groups hope I didn't go into to much detail or be to lengthy. ALOHA |
