resp:12 I walked some, mostly 3/4 mi or so 3 to 4 times a week. The
hot weather made that really difficult for a little while. Now that
the temperatures have really come down, I'd like to step it up some
more. It is really, really hard though, because I have an
overwhelming urge to come home and sleep for 3 hours after work at
about 1pm or so. It is really, really frustrating and I am so
desperate for relief. But the waiting time for the study is 8 weeks.

re: 13... Yeah, losing weight was easier 'cause your throat was raw
after the surgery. :)
I had my tonsils out at 27. Mine were making a safe haven for bacteria
and infection, so they'd been poisoning me for who knows how long.

*shrug* I guess eating less helps... but I see partially too, that
what you eat really helps, too. Hopefully, I will add in more
vegetables... lots of meat has killed the food budget.

Aren't you the same joker that called the abortion debate a "dead horse"
Yet here you are with some stupid ass thread about your sleep disorder.
If you would get that fat ass off the couch and do some real work it
would be easy to get some sleep.
Every person I know that has this disorder( I know several) are a
bunch of fat ass pigs. They are disgusting in thier eating habits.
Maybe you can all get together and sue Burger King. McDonalds already
has a group going after them. Anyone over 250lbs should be forced to
diet by law.

resp:17 I would imagine so. I haven't learned to cook with tofu yet.
Yep, cottage cheese. No, not really too energized.
resp:18 Tuna is good, makes a good salad.
resp:19 You know what... shut your cakehole. You're talking out of
your ass and you don't know what you're talking about. Some of the
medications I had to take jacked my metabolism, and you're the only
sorry fucker who's whining a sorry story about how I ain't doing good
enough. Well, I'm doing something. Yeah, so I'm not as active as I
used to be. Lots of people aren't. Go yowl elsewhere. Oh yeah,
that's right, I have a filter that I can just actively disregard you
if I so choose.

It's true that weight loss can alleviate sleep apnea symptoms, often to the
point that no treatment is needed. It's also true that people with sleep
apnea find it much more difficult to lose weight than most people, because
we tend to lack the energy to keep active. The good news is that this does
improve with treatment. You get more energy, lose a little weight, your
symptoms reduce, and you get more energy still.

Damon is 6'8" tall. At 250 lbs he would be a toothpick. At 275 lbs he has
a little bit of a pot gut which scares the hell out of me. When he gets the
pot gut, he is about to shoot up another 2-4 inches.

I'm not 250 pounds, but I volunteer to help sit on sabre. I'll buy
bean burritos for everyone beforehand, too.

resp:23 That's what's been so frustrating-- I've been so tired to keep
up a regimen-- so at least I do the walking. Julie suggested that I
stay active and not sit for very long, so as well as walking at work
(I usually walk about 3-5 blocks to the city library to pick up the
batteries for recycling) I get up from my desk about every 15-30
minutes for some sort of break to fax resumes, take print orders, or
whatever. I hope it will work.
Also, I came straight home from work, after I went to the agency to
send off an application. Could afford to do the lunch time thing
again: too many hidden sugars. So lunch was spinach greens, tuna,
green olives, and lemon tarragon dressing. I did go out to dinner
with my wife and daughter, but there was no dessert and I monitored
carefully what I was eating: diet pop, salad, the soup had a little
barley in it... not too many carbs. The eating plan I follow allows
carbs for dinner but limits the meal to an hour, but I decided to
forgo any obvious sugar.
I plan to keep measuring, keep weighing (measure fat more than pound),
and walk. The night time ritual will be nasal strips and a
humidifier. Hopefully, it will help some until the study.

My scale readings made me very happy today: I'm down to about 307 lbs,
if I remember right, and about 37% fat. Hopefully this will continue.

the average is only 2 lbs., but overall fat pounds has been about 8 so
far.
resp:35 Bed, Bath, & Beyond. It's a Tanita digital scale-- not sure
what the model number is.

Re 15. No, losing weight became easier because without the apnea, I
am more rested by sleep and able to be more active during the day.
I was accustomed to feeling like my head was stuffed with cotton.
I could lie down and go to sleep anywhere, anytime.
