Hi all, joined yesterday after accidently coming thru the site. Frustrated with uncontrolled weight due to Thyroid, Asthma, Hypertension, Chronic kidney disease. Been on on several obesity medication, currently on Redutil but lost few pounds few week. Was unwell put on steroid and since then have my weight have been going up. Discussed with my practice nurse but we are giving it time. Tried fit for life but when I go will have attacks and end up being there for few minute. Was looking for surgey weight loose information, when I came here. Help from every body I am frastrated.
Anybody who have been such a situation?
Hi KA
Just wanted to say hi!!! I dont have all the health issues you have, but I have an underactive thyroid and suffer from an eating disorder, so kinda understand your frustration to an extent. I have also had a few hormonal problems which cause weight gain too.
Try and not get too disheartened sweetie, I am sure there is something out there that will suit you right down to the ground. I am on Lipotrim, which consists of three shakes a day; choose between vanilla/strawberry or chocolate, or soup, or choose from 2 types of flapjacks; peanut or coconut.
This diet has been a lifesaver for me, and I have now lost 39lbs in 10 weeks. It is hard, but worth it. Food just doesnt figure in my life now, but that isnt forever.
Whatever you decide, whether it is surgery or some other diet, I wish you all the best...if you want to know more about Lipotrim, come along to the forum. There was an elderly man on the news/papers last week ; 69 years of age and he lost a lot of weight (cant remember, around 11stone or maybe more) for a heart operation and it was on one of the diets; either Lipotrim or LighterLife..they didnt say which.
So, there will be something out there for you as you sound as though you are at the end of your tether....hang in there, and most importantly, keep coming onto MM,,the support is next to none and you will certainly meet likeminded people.
Take care
