How to Lose Weight with Chronic Abdominal Pain?

How about poor therapy to strengthen the abdominal walls. I’m starting it soon to see if it will help the pain

Consult a dietician and do not do a starvation diet. I tried a starvation diet and while it worked, I developed an eating disorder and generally horrible relationship with food. I’m seeing a dietician soon to help me get to a healthy weight, at the recommendation of my therapist. There are so many diets out there and different ones are better for different people! You want one that has foods you like but also a caloric deficit (not too extreme though!!) not being able to move definitely makes it harder but not impossible! And even gently movements, like chair yoga, can help a lot!

oh I also forgot to mention but swimming is a good option for a few of my friends with things like fibromyalgia or POTS or hypermobility syndromes etc etc, it's good exercise but it isn't too demanding and good for not putting pressure on any areas of your body and stuff!!

changing how and what you eat can definitely work for some people! aside from food, light exercise like taking walks or some stretches or yoga at home may have some effect too. and drinking a lot of water helps!!

FRANNKIE are you in uk? I'm looking for same. I barley eat yet I'm plus size. I'm also pretty much housebound so anything out if of limits

I do keto and walk at least 1 mile a day. Some days I feel better than others, so I try to do more walking when I feel better. I did this for one year and lost 38 pounds. The problem is you can't stop doing keto or you will gain it back. I've been slacking and I've gained back 20 pounds in a year. But it will just melt off fast if you can stick w keto diet. Good luck!
