Ok guys- this is so utterly wrong, I dont even know what to say.
I need you guys to back me up here.
My PALS tells me yesterday that he is actively trying to LOSE weight.
He has been refusing two out of his five cans of Jevity a day.
He says he is too fat. I asked him where all this supposed fat is. He said his belly.
I tried explaining to him that he has the classic ALS belly. Its not necessarily fat, but more like his guts, because theres no muscle to hold them all in.
He is 6 ft tall and weighs 155-160 lbs.
I am so upset by this. He doesnt believe me that its not fat.
Even if it was, its not like he has a huge belly.
I also told him that it wouldnt look that big if he was able to stand. Everyone has a bit of a belly when they sit.
I even went as far as to tell him that its so ridiculous that he has been fighting so hard for almost 9 yrs and now we could lose him from lack of nutrition- not ALS.
What the hell?
Please guys. Help me set him straight. I will read to him what you all say.
Thank you.
