I am having a lot of trouble losing the 15 pounds, my Molina insurance wants me to lose to quality for surgery. I was in a couple car accidents a few years back and suffered a tramatica brain injury.

It was the frontal lobe area. This has to do with plnning. I can't for the life of me plan my meals. On top of that I have a bad knee. I got off the pain pills because I think they were attributing to my weight gain.

So, I was wondering if a diet pill would help me lose the 15 pounds before surgery. I think once I have the sugery, things will be easier.

I know surgery is just a tool, but I really believe they cut out a lot of the grelin hormone out and possibly other hormones as well. I believe that weight issues are very entwined and everybody is different and so many things can snow ball.

Things can go from bad to worse and all of the sudden, your so heavy, you can't move and then you have to ride those electric carts at Walmart. And then, you get so darn depressed, all you want is comfort food and then you beat your self for messing up your diet and then you get depressed, ecetera, etc. And then the way our society looks and treats its over weight population is sad.

Any suggestions anyone has about the diet pill or anything else be would be greatly appriciated.

Thank you. Iam wondering if iam less hungry, I'll eat less. I was thinking of just going to the store and buying pre packaged meals, like lean cuisine. Iam ok planning in the morning, but the rest of the day is hard.

@@northstar9148 Yes, my primary prescribed phentermine and I lost 15 pounds really fast. You can only be on it for 3 weeks at a time, but I've managed to keep off that 15 and then some. A lot of people will discourage you, but trust me, I get it. If it was that easy for me to lose weight, I wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. I am someone who has spent a lot of time in the gym and eat reasonably well, but between genetics, age, and a number of other factors, I put on a lot of weight and it does not want to go away despite my best efforts. Talk to your doctor...they are in a better position to advise you than anyone on this forum is. Good luck!

1 stone =14lb, most people in UK weigh themselves in stones and lbs so for example they might say they are 10st 4lb which is 144lb.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
