Retired & getting bigger


Hi all, This looks to be quite a nice site I've stumbled on.....I have a problem I'm sure is not rare. I was retired 2 yrs. ago due to health problems. after the surgery on my shoulder failed the doctors suggested I start using a Pain Management Specialist for myself. This seems to have helped for the short time, but I see things starting to worsen and the need for more and stronger drugs coming into play. I would like to try and hold this off for as long as possible. I think a large part of the problem is that I have started to gain weight. The problem I have with my shoulders is affected by problems in my back & neck along with having Arthritis, so things I did over the years to stay in shape , I can no longer do. I'v done the diets and tried some of the diet pills and I guess maybe this is all helping because I'v only gained 50 lbs. in the 2 yrs. since retirement. At this point, I will gladly try almost anything. Thanks for listing to the rant....Rick..

Hi Rick.

If you're gaining body fat at the rate of 25-lbs a year, then you're clearly eating too much food (and might be able to improve your food choices). Why don't you talk through a typical day and explain how you eat and what kinds of activity you perform.

Also what restrictions have your doctors given you, if any?
