I was doing my usual go through the closet, not finding anything to wear. I was pawing through a stack of pants that I haven't wore in a long time. Now I should preface this by saying, my last round of prednisone (before my first step surgery last August) I ballooned up to a size 20, bordering on a 22. Today...I grabbed a pair of black jeans size 14, and thought, "I wonder how far I am from getting into these?" I tried them on....and HOLY COW
 ...they fit!Now they are kind of stretchy, but I don't care...they are still a 14. My normal size is 8, sometimes a 6. I'm getting there! Slowly but surely!!!  Have a fabulous day! I have come to believe if the doctors look hard enough, they will find something wrong somewhere! UC...1985 Step one...Aug 2006, Takedown...Dec 2006 Emergency SBO Surgery...Oct 2007 |

Congratulations
 I kept some 'skinny' clothes in the back of my closet and it feels great to be able to get back into them. I know that once I was off the pred I was so happy when the extra weight came off. ** Christine ** UC dx Oct 2003; Step 1 - 10/8/2005; TakeDown - 05/19/2006 The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

It's a great feeling isn't it?
Congratulations Cataja, you're getting there and I'm pretty sure you'll be back to your size 6-8 very soon! Keep up the good work!  Shell One glass of red wine per day is good for the heart..... it's just that mine's a big heart so I need a very big glass!!!! D-| Cheers!  |

Yeah, I felt skinny for about six months...then I packed it all on, and then some. But, at least I am healthy!
You guys make me envious... Jan Take a deep breath and relax; this too will pass. |

The only time I was skinny was when I was sick -now I am definitely on the other side of skinny, back to the fat pants for me. But like Jan said, at least I am healthy!

Being healthy comes in all shapes and sizes, as does happiness.

Oh, how I can relate! I lost 100 pounds in two years due to UC and surgery complications. I started on prednisone...again...for my liver disorder and gained 40 pounds back in one short month! I hate feeling "fat" again, but when I think about it again, I know I look and feel healthier!

I remember being the only girl in high school that said I would rather be fat and happy then skinny and sick

Congrats! I lost 14 lbs in a week when I had mono last year, and went down to a size zero...I went to the doctors for a follow-up because I was terribly sick, and exclaimed, "JESUS, MONO IS THE BEST DIET EVER!" And what was amazing was I was eating McDonalds three times a day because nothing else appealed to me. God, it was nice.
It's hard, being in highschool and trying to gain weight to be healthy when you know that being accepted means being skin and bones. But I'm trying. CHELSEA Perm Ileo March 11th!!! MY GOD COMPLICATIONS!- two abscessed wounds, two surgeries, an ileus, raging e.coli infection, drain in my buttcheek to drain a pocket of infection the size of a basketball, TPN and IV antibiotics for a month, BUT I'M ALIVE! 5/23-hospitalized again, e.coli infection came back....iv antibiotics again. blood clot found from picc line. neverending! 6/21 hospitalized...again. e.coli and staph. drain again. |
