Fat Secret helped me lose 100 pounds several years ago. Now I’m here to help maintain weight while living with carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors/carcinoid heart failure. I was diagnosed in 2016, and hit my low weight of ~135 after 2 heart surgeries (replaced all 4 valves and got a pacemaker) in July and October of 2018. That Halloween after getting out of the hospital I said I was going as a skeleton, no costume needed. I’m at ~160 now (November 2021) and struggling with lack of appetite, mouth soreness, and nausea on cabozantinib. I also need to try to stay within limits for liquid (64oz) and sodium (2000mg) for my heart.
Goal: Maintain weight and strength for whatever challenges lie ahead.
