BMI calculations involve height and since we gained 4", we can now put on an extra 40# and get away with it. (smiley face)
The problem is, I put on 80#. Yikes! My appetite at about 5 months post increased significantly. I don't know why this happened, but it did, I eat like I am 19. If I don't eat, the exhaustion gets magnified. Fatigue is a battle, there is no doubt about that. I lost 40# in 40 days after my surgeries, then gained 80# over the years.
I had my first stepped improvement in pain at around 3 weeks. About 15-20% less pain. Something healed, hard to know where, but a pain producing area healed. All of a sudden this happened like a switch was thrown. Nerves are like that with no in-between setting. On or off. Was it the nerve?, or the inflamed surrounding tissues? We have a lot of that after our surgeries....
Anxious to hear about your next step. It should come soon.
Are you experiencing hot and cold spells? Temperature management? I had my heat up pretty high for a while and set some gas bill records.
If you are cold, here is an amazing video that will heat things up. Iceland May 2021.
