Anyone Without Mac Losing Weight

Posted by picartist @picartist, Apr 1 10:31am

I have lost twenty nine pounds since being on my therapy for BE which is saline and Acapella Aerobika, Huffing, etc. I have never had MAC or any diagnosed infection of my lung. I do not eat nearly as much and do not have the same appetite. I do exercise regularly but the weight loss is rather dramatic from 189 to 160 and seems to be continuing.

@juliea55 I am doing that next week after my blood draw tomorrow. It is a regular annual, just fortunate now so I can talk about the weight loss. However, dollars to donuts I am not getting enough calories and still exercise in water aerobics four days a week. My desire to not eat much at 88 is something that popped up this year when my wife went to Assisted Living in my Life Care Community. When she was home I cooked a lot and ate what I cooked. I have dinner at her place which I often bring because of not eating Gluten so I cut back a lot on eating.

@picartist My weight loss started when my spouse died, and like you, I didn’t cook anymore for two and I was grieving. It became apparent to everyone but me that I was too thin. I started drinking protein supplements in between meals to get my weight stable. I wish you well.
