Topic: RE: How did you do it- lose your weight NS or without revision?

Hi there! On the next page I have a post called "my stQ". Why, I don't know, a wonderful typo.

In a nutshell:

i used walking on my treadmill and intake modification for 70lbsish and then I got a body bugg and tracked all intake and output...I in 7 years (including a pregnancy with a 60lb gain) I have gone from 300 to 145 on the scale this morning. I loved my body bugg and learned so much about me, my intake habits and my calorie burn. I wore it for 18 months...I unplugged last July and have maintained well since.

Hope that helps!!! Please ask any questions you might have!

Topic: How did you do it- lose your weight NS or without revision?

I am looking into having a revision. In 2006 I had a RNY. I lost about 50lbs then stopped losing. I eventually found out thatI had developed a fistula- the stomach manages to reattach itself. it was if I had never had the surgery done. I was so disappointed.I have done all the tests and even scheduled to have a revision done in March. I had surgery for breast cancer in Dec. and honestly my immune system is pretty low. I don't think my body is up to a 5 hour surgery right now. I am not sure if this is the route I should go or not. Something inside of me tells me I can do this on my own so even thos I am looking all options I am trying to make the wisest decision fro me

-my question to all of you is this:

What have you done to lose your weight? What has helped you to be successful on this journey without the WLS? I am looking for answers that may help me and prevent me from having to go thru this all over again.I believe nothing is set in stone.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Has anyone gone to see an obesity medicine specialist? Or tried any prescription drugs for weight loss?

Topic: RE: Metformin experiences ?

Hi RMD64,

I am now taking the drug Metformin, and this medicine is not agreeing with me at all. My doctor also said that I have insulin resistance. I have not loss any weight, and now I am a little concern. I decided to go back to my doctor and ask her to do more test. So I hope and pray that there is another drug that can help with this weight loss and insulin resistance.

Sincerely,

Dalewil45

Topic: RE: Coming Back after Many Years

I had used so many diets that finally pulling the best of several seems to have finally worked to become a "lifestyle change" and I am so thankful for that. With no hard rules it seems to stick better
