My niece did not have weight loss surgery. I did and as I get older, I am able to eat less every year if I don't want to gain weight. I believe that the metabolism gets weaker so that the body can make up for not getting to absorb the calories that it takes in.

I eat much less than I did right after surgery and still gain weight.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!ð?'??

Truly happy for you!

No, but I also take DIM and Vitex. I have been taking them for years. The last blood work was earlier this year and they were fine, but I tend to not get everything because of the insurance plus when I do they usually very normal.

I take my probiotics and sometimes take some for detoxing

My niece gained close to 100 pounds with her first pregnancy. She ate big meals and lots of desserts and did not exercise. She really enjoyed her pregnancy.

She joined crossfit after the baby was three months old, controlled her eating and exercise and lost all the added weight in about six months.

Two years later, she was pregnant with her second, developed gestational diabetes and was gaining rapidly.

Her doctor wanted to put her on insulin. My sister who is her mother and also a dietitian sat her down and told her that she needed to change her ways. Being pregnant was not about eating all the delicious food she wanted and taking life easy.

My niece stopped eating sugar, started eating healthy meals and walking every day. She controlled the diabetes without insulin, strictly with diet and exercise. She gained twenty pounds and had it back off six weeks after giving birth.

There used to be a Weigh****chers belief that it will take one month to lose weight for every year that you have carried it. Your daughter needs to follow a diet and exercise program.

She needs 10 calories a day for every pound that she maintains. That is with a reasonable amount of exercise. To lose, she has to reduce the calories and increase the exercise. She may not seem to be overeating, but she is eating too much for her body.

Smoking weed makes most people enjoy the taste of food more and eat more of it, so it is good if she is no longer doing that.

Weight loss surgery gets the weight off, but only diet and exercise will keep it off long term.

Hi,

I have been having inflammation in my eye. The doctor states its from internal. Have anyone suffered, if so what did you do to heal the inflammation and what was causing the inflammation? I am wondering if its related to something I am taking too much of....

Thank you,

Sunshine
