I've almost stopped eating completely
 

I've just realized that on wednesday, I ate a wrap... thursday I had a burger, yesterday I had a chicken burger and a few wings and so far.... it's 9:50pm and I have yet to eat anything today.

You'd think I'd be starving right now, but I'm not.

This can't be good :(

good news is you live close to a hospital...

Stuart... maybe you should see a doctor.

How fat are you??

I did, 3 needles later, I'm waiting for the results. My doctor had quite a look of fear in his eyes though when I described my condition to him. I have to go see him again in a month.

Shemp, that's very true... every once in a while I see a person dragging an IV stand behind them in the corner store.

222 and 6 feet tall. Not exactly obese but certainly not as thin as I could be.

Okay good. I've been worried about you. Get that shit fixed up man...

you know when i got sick, i hooked up with a nurse....
there is nothing like 24/7 medical attention :winkwink:

That's no real surprise though... you've always had a way with the ladies. Everyone knows that :winkwink:

thats becasue ive been neutered, im completely harmless, the girls love that...

You know, could be the coke. . .

huh? For the record, I drink pepsi... but if you mean what I think you do, then chances are... it's not.

Particularly since I've never done any drug, never smoked and hardly drink at all (definitely never get drunk).

So nope, not the coke.

i'm the same way - lost almost 50 lbs in the last month and a half - just can't eat anymore.. barly eat one meal a day now and i force that down

u dont have to be hungry to eat

what would happen if u ate, u would throw up? if not, why not just eat

You and I are definitely going to have to get together and hit a buffet or something sometime to try to get our systems back in gear. :thumbsup

Lane, it's not just a "not hungry" feeling, it's a "I don't feel like eating" feeling. Hm... more to the point, it's a "I don't feel like existing" feeling.

i got another 90 lbs to go first - then i'll pig out... the way it's falling off me now - should be about 2-3 months.

No offense meant

:thumbsup

Nice, that's great to hear... keep it up, I look forward to hitting that buffet with a slimmer and trimmer you :glugglug

way to go, Sleazy
the girls dont run as fast when a slim guy is chasin' them..

Stuart.

You are gonna die.

But thats a given...

Seriously, you drink WAYYY too much pepsi though. When is the last time you saw fruit and veggies? hehe. I nearly die everytime I walk in the office and see your desk :)

A big sign on depression for me is the lack of an appetite. When I get angry, I get hungry, when I get depressed, I stop eating (like, 1 meal a day, the "just not hungry" (not wanting sex is my other major indicator)

Yeah, I'm definitely an addict... I can't help it. :(

As for fruits and veggies, well, I do get out to some nicer restaurants once or twice a week, inwhich case... I do get salads or foods with them. But I certainly don't eat nearly as much as most would recommend.

dont skip breakfast, it will keep your apetite going for the day.

take a multivitamin, u need it if u dont eat much, plus it also fuels your apetite.

the body gets used to starving.. once u get into that mode, your stomach doesnt give u any signals anymore.. its gonna sound weird but u gotta eat to start to feel like eating again.

you gotta be careful!!!

I just started a thread about me thinking I'm depressed. Going through the same type of symptoms here. I've had a huge loss of appetite over the past few months and have dropped about 40lbs since september.

Loss of appetite is just the tip of the ice berg for me... after describing some of the things I've been feeling, my doctor had a look on his face I'll never forget.

I highly recommend avoiding getting to that point, if I were you.

:eek2 Fifty pounds in 6 weeks!? That is NOT healthy! See a doctor right away if you haven't already.

:(

Very true. I've been the same way lately (I blame the heat). Today I had half a bologna and cheese sandwich and a banana.

There's a ten pound watermelon in the fridge and chicken thawing for the grill. Hope to jump-start the appetite tomorrow. :thumbsup

yeah... i know the feeling dude.

it sucks.

although, if i lose some weight, some good would come from this.

This is what I've been experiencing over the past 6-7 months...

- major loss of appetite. Seems to come back every few weeks, then eat nonstop for a few days then back to loss of appetite.

- Not sleeping properly. I've always been an isomniac, but even after I fell asleep, I would wake up after only a few hours and not be able to get back to sleep.

- Constant feeling of anxiousness, or something like that. Almost like butterflies in my stomach.

- Feeling sad. This is something that is usually not me. I'm the comedian type, even done some stand up stuff before. Usually a very happy person.

- Constant thoughts of things that piss you off, things that make you feel sad etc.

- I've actually came so close as to want to cry for no reason on one or two occassions.

These symptoms were really bad when this started happening. Things have gotten a lot better lately though. Also, when this started happening people noticed immediatly that I wasn't being myself.

This thread made me hungry.

Maybe a little exercise will jump start your appetite. You are welcome to play street hockey in the morning with us (10:30) if you want.

Heh, no thanx... that's way to early for me to even dream about being awake... and as for doing anything athletic, I get winded just running to the bathroom.

I think street hockey would just kill me.

Stu:


You seem to be a pretty depressed person by the way you post. In person you seem pretty chipper though. I had to deal with my manic-depressive mom until she killed herself a couple years ago. If you think ever about "not living" and such, you really need to either get on some happy pills, or get out of the house as much as you can and keep yourself busy. I suggest going to a gym and just getting the "life" back in you with a workout plan. I know it sounds silly, but the lack of exercise can totally add to unhappy feelings.

I know you have some money, and if you ever wanna come mountain biking, renting one in Whistler is cheap. I also have a wagon to haul people up there with, so lemme know.

Take it easy!

Hahah... uh oh, we usually leave Vancouver at 7:30... which means ya gotta be up by 6:45 :P

It kills me every Sunday. I am by far the oldest and most out of shape playing but it makes me feel like a kid for a few hours (and then an old man the next couple of days from the soreness).

Anyway, if you want to relax your body and mind for a little bit any night, we can go to my condo's club and sit in the steam room, whirlpool, sauna so take me up on the offer somtime soon.

thanx for the offers guys, but trying to do something athletic and killing myself in the process probably won't really help my situation. More disappointment and failure is something I'm trying to avoid.

Also, waking up before 7 is definitely something I try to avoid.
