Hi, my name is Jenny. I'm new to the group! I hope everyone is doing well.
I don't understand why I'm holding onto weight. I am a runner, I work out, and I'm basically doing the same things I was doing before I found out. I basically eat healthy; if anything, because of my ileostomy reversal, I can take a couple of bites of food and feel full, so I'm not even eating as much as I was eating! I had rectal cancer and my ileostomy reversed about seven years ago. I was at 130 lbs, at 5'4", after cancer/ileostomy I'm 166 lbs and I can't lose the weight!! I would even be happy if I could just lose 15 pounds. Is anyone else having the same problems? And if so, what did you do to get your body burning fat? Most of it is in my stomach area. Thanks.
