Living larger than ever,
My Bariatric Life
A rant, by me.
I was obese my entire life. I too did hundreds and dad diets...I too could walk at a very fast pace...I too lost and regained probably thousands of pounds!
Then one day I made some changes. I have *stayed consistent* in my diet and activity and I have lost 160 lbs. here is my secret I LET GO OF MY EXCUSES! I LET GO OF MY "I CAN'TS" and then I frickin' did it. Period.
I run 5 miles or more a day...usedta couldn't! I started where I was and worked my way to where I am. None if it was easy. I earned this...YOU can too.
Disclaimer: this is not an anti surgery rant as I support the choices of others. This IS a rant about people asking how I have lost and maintained my weight only to throw the "oh I could never do that" card up. You can if you choose!
The problem with Victoza is that it is injectable AND has nasty side effects including pancreatitis.
The tongue patch seems to be too extreme.
A new drug that has just been approved by the fda called Belviq seems to be promising. Drugs.com has many reviews by individuls that have tried it and it seems t work pretty well. It also seems to affect mood in a positive way abd to help with smoking cessation. http://www.drugs.com/comments/lorcaserin/belviq.html

Hi ! I am currently doing a VLCD with Omni Drops!! I am on my second round! The first round I lost 27lbs in 42 days and now I am up to 35.5 pounds lost. I can add you to our closed group facebook page if you want!! It's amazing and super easy. Weight comes off super fast!!
I was more than qualified for the surgery and carried a bmi over 50 for years. However,I have watched 3 immediate family members have gastric bypass surgery. *ALL* three initially lost alot of weight. Then a few years out gain and again struggle with their weight and maintain "overweight" or "obese" BMIs. I chose to make lifestyle changes that are also required with surgery. I did the head work (which I believe is the key to success) and started to exercise. I put down my drug of choice, food, and worked on my recovery and sobriety.
I currently weigh less than what I have lost. I never lost 60 in a month but had to go at it slow and steady. I have denied myself when I would have liked to indulge. I have maintained 160 lb loss for almost 3 years. *NOT* having surgery but changing the core of how I abused food did. I knew that in order for my children not to live the "fat my whole life" story that I would have to teach them a better way.
Btw, the sucking the stomach contents out sounds gross...and really just encourages the future abuse of food....uh, gross.
Have you tried Prescopodene? I used it for more than 4 months and didn't experience any side effect. I found it very effective in suppressing my appetite and boosting my metabolism.
And I am posting all kinds of yummy and healthy recipes! You can check it out here http://gracioushealth.wordpress.com/ enjoy!
