Since I lost 24lbs, Quit Smoking, And Drink Tons Of H20....

SweetPoison2 · 09-09-2008, 06:16 AM

( I didn't eat any ice cream, I promise! )

Here's the deal: Ever since I lost 24lbs, quit smoking, and started this prog, sometimes I have never felt worse

My feet hurt so much, and my lower back went out a month or so ago, I was down a week! I picked up an empty laundry basket??? lol! My back has not gone out in 6 years!! And now it is so sensitive, I can feel that little tweak of pain could come with one wrong move and my world stops for a week....

There has to be some connection to my back/feet and losing weight ~

And ~

Yesterday an RN friend of mine took my blood pressure and it was 140/95. She scared the crap out of me!! She said that was not high per se', but right at the top of the low scale.

What the hell is going on with me? I have never had high or almost high BP ~

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Detoxing from cigarettes can do this and congrats on the weight loss. A lot of peeps gain weight from stopping smoking.

Your body has begun working very hard since you have quit smoking. Your body has taken the chance to remove toxins and do repair work. You are aiding your body with a protein rich diet and lots of pure water! Don't be surprised by new strange symptoms or a temporary worsening of existing problems. You are getting better and stronger each day!

Start taking a tbsp of Carlson's Cod Liver Oil each day along with a multi vit, calcium/magnesium, fish oil and C with it's constituents.

I quit smoking February of '04. I was sick the next year with everything imaginable. Every one of my friends that have quit said the same thing. Sometimes we wondered why we quit smoking we sure did not feel healthier for a long time. Stick with it, it will get better. The end result is worth it!

O.k. so I stopped smoking two days ago (grant not that long) know about the weight gain, lowered my calories to see if that helps, so far scales are being good to me, but you get sickly (possibly) from your bod getting rid of the bad stuff
