I feel like I can indentify with being misdiagnosed, although I have not been through any kind of sleep study, I have been how ever dealing with illness that cause me to be less active for several years and yes for the first time I was starting to feel depression symptoms. It's not a good mix I agree. After the loss of my Mother this past June and family drama too sleep began to be really difficult. I had my days and nights mixed up and it doesn't help one's metabolism that is for sure. The good news is we can always come back after difficult circumstances. It's never too late to start over and learn from the past. You are important to many who love you, like that cute little guy in you photo with you. Grandkids are amazing and great medicine for a hurting heart. You are on your way back, thank you for sharing your story. Best wishes to you always~JulesJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447243553342673039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-25997704520561050682014-01-23T18:57:33.032-06:002014-01-23T18:57:33.032-06:00*thumbs up**thumbs up*that TOPS ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08550479679200670967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-30686182229842051372014-01-23T17:50:07.500-06:002014-01-23T17:50:07.500-06:00Hi Sean, I used to sleep very poorly, and I do bel...Hi Sean, I used to sleep very poorly, and I do believe it was a big part of me being heavy for many years. <br /><br />I hope the doctors have some solutions for your condition. We had a client who had surgery to remove nasal polyps because he had obstructive sleep apnea, and that helped him quite a bit. I'm sure your situation is different but I hope for just as good for you. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-81824132327235961422014-01-23T13:10:32.122-06:002014-01-23T13:10:32.122-06:00You are right to cut yourself slack on the exercis...You are right to cut yourself slack on the exercise until you get the sleep issue resolved.

You know, so you can consider the source.<br /><br />That disclaimer, claimed--I have always been concerned about two things with your weight loss plan. 1. the amount of calories you eat being too low for your height/lean body mass needs, and 2. The amount of protein you eat compared to what you need to consume to sustain your muscles...you know like your heart muscle.<br /><br />When you redeveloped sleep apnea, I wondered if the low cals/low protein may have damaged your heart. I now wonder if that rapid weight loss along with the low cal/low protein diet caused your body to send off the signals that led to the misdiagnosis.<br /><br />Just a thought, and since your current plan is only 17000 cals a day (Is that enought for aman of your height and frame?) and the pictured meal is pretty low in protein, I felt like I had to mention it. (You know, because I'm helpful like that.) <br /><br />Has any MD commented on your eating plan being a possible actor with the sleep apnea return or what your ideal cal/protein intake should be?<br /><br />Again, what do I know? <br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-69166305342145560202014-01-23T11:15:47.574-06:002014-01-23T11:15:47.574-06:00My daughter suffers from insomnia and it is a terr...My daughter suffers from insomnia and it is a terrible thing. No matter what reason you lose sleep over, it can upset your life. I hope that you are finally getting a correct diagnosis so that you can move on. <br /><br />Your grand-baby is adorable.

I have read so many studies about disrupted sleep and weight gain recently. I offer that not as an excuse but do think it probably added difficulty to this issue. I hope you are able to sleep better and better as you lose and that you will be encouraged more each day. Your grandbaby is so precious... another good reason to be thin and healthy. I'm so thankful for all your posts Sean. Thank you.
