I tend not to make resolutions. I just feel I need to look at changing bad habits, etc. more than once a year.
However, I guess my resolution (if I must have one) is to gain 3-5 pounds, at least that's the resolution my doctor set for me.
I went to the dr last week for a big Remicade follow up. They always weigh me and I have been gradually dropping since last February. It's always been something they make special notes about. Well, as of last week, I have lost 12 pounds! I have not veen this 'light' since probably Jr. High! While I'm sure most people would be excited about that my doctor is "very concerned." He told me I have 6 weeks to gain 3-5 pounds. If I don't gain then I'm not really sure what will happen. I was too distracted by his concern to really absorb anything else.
Weight loss could be a side effect of my medicine, or it could be a sign of malnourishment. Also, my hair has been falling out. I'm not going bald, but I am losing a pretty excessive amount of hair. My doctor said that makes him think I'm really malnourished. So, I'm trying to add healthy calories to my day in hopes of adding a few L-Bs.
Please pray I can gain this weight.
Happy New Year!

I will pray for your healthy weight gain! If I can think of any high calorie snacks that Jackson eats I'll let you know. Little smokies, bacon and breakfast sausage are what we rely on for his weight gain. :)
Bless you! I've never had that problem but it would be scary. I'm thinking loads of guacamole...
I thought of guacamole and avocado, too. That is scary, will be praying for you!
Will be praying for you, Chellie! That is scary!!!! I hope this is not annoying. It certainly is not advice, but i was buying digestive enzymes on amazon and the guy was reviewing them and describing his Crohn's issues. Maybe worth the read (and maybe I am just annoying and ignorant...I am definitely ignorant). Anyway here is a link http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Super-Enzymes-Capsules/dp/B0013OXKHC/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1358224013&sr=1-3&keywords=digestive+enzymes. Still praying for you guys. That has got to be so very difficult :(.
