Hello all.
I have a long awaited appointment with my GP this Thursday to see if I can start Lipotrim. I know the flavours and choice on LT are much more limited on LT than CD, but to be honest I don't care. I like the fact that LT is recommended by the medical profession.
I phoned my dietician at the hospital and asked her her opinion of LT. She said she had never heard of it
so I gave her LT's phone number and website details. She rang me back later on and said it was fine by her for me to do LT, but I would need my GP's permission. I am hoping my GP will give me permission as I posted on this site a couple of weeks ago that CD won't accept me with the medication I am taking for my diabetes. So it is probably the same with LT. Either I will come off the medication or will be having to check my blood sugars several times a day.
Anyway, please please send me some good vibes for Thursday 7th at 3.30 ish
because I so need to do a VLCD. I am very inactive. I weighed 192 kgs at my hospital appointment last July and the Consultant suggested surgery but mostly food is not the problem. Inactivity is. I am in bed most of the time. I haven't even sat in my living room for the last 3 months because I can't fit in the armchair and if I get wedged in I can't get up from the armchair without one of my daughters pulling me up. I don't have the strength to heave myself up.
I think the various tablets I take for this that and the other all have side effects of weight gain, which is why I need something done soon. I must be at least 31 stone by now, and seem to feel heavier day by day. Surely my GP can't refuse me permission. What do I have to do to let him know how upsetting this all is. Reach 34 stone, 36 stone or what. I am 52 years old and all this weight is no good for me. I can hardly walk, it's like I do pigeon steps to walk side to side instead of one foot in front of the other. I feel so embarrased when I do venture out, having to ask the bus drivers to lower the step so I can board the bus. People actually offer up their seats to me so I must look in a bad way.
How much do the medical profession know about LT? I hope my GP has heard of it and I don't have to wait weeks whilst he tries to find the time to look it up. I need to start this asap.
Phew, that is a weight off my chest. This post was as much to sound off as to ask for the vibes.
I wish each of you good wishes for your dieting journey, and you are all to be admired for sticking at it. I know it can't be easy, but you have the successes in the past weeks and the intentions to carry on to goal.
