I have always been  big but  it was never  physically painful till I  reach 34 and I let it go  and took up partying  but with partying came the beer  calories  so   I balloon  up to about  440-457 then I found myself  always  in error complaining  of pain.   Eating ibuprofen like candy. Something had to give so I started drinking diet soda and doing chair exercises people started to notice that I was losing weight even though I didn't make it known because it has failed I didn't want it to be public.  Fast forward to no May of 2016 I was at 396 I reach out  to me new doctor for help since my  only  real health issue is  mild asthma and arthritis he put me on Adipex which I take every other day sometimes I honestly forget to take it I only had one regression in early November when my mother had a complication with her breast cancer then into a depression because of my anxiety I think the worse so I quit going to physical therapy didn't think about what I was putting in my body so I gained 17 pounds that was 3 weeks ago my friends gave me a pep talk let me know have to be strong for my mother and take care of her and this is her time so I got up and doesn't a cell phone started going back to physical therapy which is basically like going to a personal trainer because they exercise me hard a hour 3 days a week. So I  am now at 346 I  saw my surgeon today  I lost 11 pounds  and he up my dosage for adipex  to two pills a day  and he added something  called Topamax  but it says it's a seizure medication and for bipolar disorder  he said one of the said one the said effects is weight  lost.  I  read about the med and I don't think I willing to  but it in my body.  Sounds scary
