Hey guys I might not be as active this week. My father passed away last night from a heart attack.
You have my condolences and I extend them to your family as well. I hope you will honor his life

It is sooooo good to be back with my fellow Labykins :heart: The short version of my absence is that I was in the hospital fighting malnutrition. Somehow I went from 130 lbs to 75 lbs in such a short time it was killing me. My oncologist said he couldn't figure me out. I fought cancer and won and now malnutrition was killing me.He said if I didn't have a certain operation done ( a feeding tube placed in my stomach) to supplement what little I was eating that it was going to kill me. I have regained a lot of strength and energy compared to a few weeks ago. But between all of the therapy and my already extremely high metabolism I still manage to burn almost as many calories as I take in every day. Which is a shit load. I was getting almost 1k calories just at breakfast alone. Same for lunch and dinner. Then there was the in between meal and bedtime snacks. They said I could have ( almost) anything I wanted to eat and gave me a special menu to order from. They gave me double portions at meals. I have managed to put on about 3 lbs. Gained strength and energy. Not so much in the weight department. Anyway, with another big thanks to God I am back. I still have to try to keep the same regimen I had in the hospital unless I want to end up back there so I'm not sure how much slashing I will be getting done. I can do a lot of exercises while I am sitting here on my arse so that will help some. Only promise I can make is to do the best I can. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support. Love you all
( Aren't you glad I just gave the short version lol

This is incredible news. It seems that you must not be accepting nutrients very well--bit like celiac. I've helped some people with celiac get on track with nutrition. If it's about nutrient deficiency, the calories mean something, but it's a LOT more important to eat a nutrient-dense diet than to pack on calories. That is, super foods and organic food and 0 gluten (ideally 0 milk, too) = helpful. So eat like a pig, but eat stuff that's good for you
And you will definitely want to avoid any extra inflammation
