I am 5' 8" tall. Before the cancer, I got up to 241 pounds. Obesity was part of the cause for the pancreatic cancer, borderline diabetes and high BP.
I lost 52 pounds over the course of the active illness treatment and healing. At 189, doc took me off of all meds save the one for GERD.
Unusually for a post-Whipple surgery survivor, I gained weight back starting about 2 years after. I got up to 246 pounds.
Back on the BP and blood sugar meds.
I have been losing weight by improving what I eat, matching the fuel intake to activity level.
This morning weigh in, 209 pounds. I am aiming to get back under 200.
