1. You're unwell, so don't judge yourself against your best ever shape - seriously - that way lies madness. Instead...

2. Start tomorrow - and then keep - making positive individual decisions about food at every opportunity - I don't need to explain this concept to anyone that's ever dieted for months on end - tiny steps brother, tiny steps... you KNOW what I'm talking about as you've been here many times before and succeeded - remember that

I have trouble keeping weight on. Unfortunately, I have even more trouble keeping muscle on when I try to diet down.

Sorry about your mother mate it’s fully understandable how you feel.

put off the surgery myself for years due to fear of ending up with a permanent shit bag before having no choice about it anymore, was best thing I did in the end. Found out early on diet plays a massive part despite doctors that say otherwise, sometimes healthy food is bad and will wreck havoc, find out what foods work best for you that don’t aggravate symptoms and stick with them religiously it’s what worked for me till things got too bad.
Good luck mate hope you beat the twatfull illness

Get better soon brother. I had bleeding Diverticulosis back in November. Spent 6 days in the hospital. Was in CCU for 4 days had to get 2 IU's of blood. Got Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. Finally got the bleeding stopped. Not fun. Watch that diet. Stress doesn't help either.

Who the hell is this Taf, and why are his stars not blue?

Wes, hang in there, take it day by day, and know you'll be better in the future.

Wes, good luck bud, hope things turn out OK "in the end" (pun intended), I just got colonoscopy 'cause I'm old and crusty, easy procedure.
(And esophagus scoped because of GERD).

This aging stuff isnt for pussies!

Wes, you don't state what kind of colitis you have. Anyway, last month you posted on your birthday that you have lost a lot of size because of injuries, etc. You sounded very down. Two weeks later you report that you have colitis. This disease is related to stress, anxiety, depression, etc. That is why scans won't find the cause. Also, you need to make sure you get enough iron because you can lose plenty through the disease. Dehydration is also another problem. Colitis is a kind of ulcer in the colon or other parts of the digestive tract. As a former bodybuilder it won't be easy to let go of those hard earned muscles you used to have. Those days are now gone for most older guys. Maintaining a tranquil mind like Bob Hoffman recommended is easier said than done. Good luck.

I had 6 months of stomach agony. I had pain and the runs. Had upper, lower scopes and gall bladder scans. Had to fight my insurance company to pay for the expensive medicine that didn't work. Saw 4 different gastro doctors. Came to the conclusion they really can't figure out how to help anything. They are some of the most well paid doctors going because they are in bed with the scope diagnostics places. All of their patients get sent to be scoped. One doctor suggested the pain could all be in my head. As I sat there he could hear my stomach doing flips.

My wife actually cure me. I have always been slightly lactose intolerant. With age it went off the charts bad. The greek yogurts I was eating with an orange everyday would set my stomach off for 24 plus hours. I never connected the yogurts because it was a delayed reaction. We went on vacation and I didn't eat any milk products by chance. The stomach cleared up. My wife pointed out the lack of milk products. I went home and stopped milk for a week and it was like a miracle cure. Of course I'm not saying my fix is your fix.

Stomach pain and problems are the worst.
