hopeful2 be slim

hello, I am glad you are ok now and the drain is out...thank God.. Thanks for motivating me.... yes I will be positive and be a winner...I have fixed my knee transplant in oct . wish me luck....my knees are in a bad state ..but I was avoiding the operation due to weight...now I am confident!!

should I take these injections every month? here our doctors are a bit casual.

I feel tired most of the time...and no weight loss...though there is inch loss.... How are you RJ?

I was given Vitamin B and D injections by my doctor recently...what is the need for these...was it for deficiency.

HI.....OUR BODY RESPONDS ONLY IN THE BEGINNING I HAVE NOTICED...AFTER THAT ITS REAL HARD WORK..

Hello, I will be 60 in dec. My weight loss is slow...I had put on weight last month, but now slowly trying to loose it.I have just started using myfitnesspal and its great. We think we are eating so less ,but when we log it we realize its excess calories!! all the best to all of you. Its a journey and we will be sucessful.

Hi Avon, are you tracking your diet thru my fitnesspal.com? I recently started to tract it and am getting results. I had gained weight last month now slowly it is going down.

cathy, my doc said we should avoid all fruits at this stage as they contain a lot of sugar which is stored as fat immediately. I was having a banana daily, but now I have stopped it.

hello...I too am not loosing weight....lost some in the first 3 months...4th was a stall...5th month i put on...now 6th month I am trying to loose those 2 lbs...slow slow wt loss.. I am going for knee transplant in oct....hopefully i can walk a lot then and loose weight.

hi...i am planning knee replacement in oct. I need to loose more..but just cant...i hope after the operation I can walk more and will loose weight. wish me luck. right now I cant walk much and so I am not loosing weight..

dearest RJ get well soon....my prayers are for you.

Hi I too lost only 22 lbs in the first 2 months...then no weight loss...i even put on 2,3 lbs. now i am slowly loosing thank God.i made a few changes in my diet. Started green tea, veg juice,boiled vegetables and egg whites. all the best. we have to really work hard at this.

hi....I too am band to sleeve... I was a slow looser and now my weight loss has stopped instead I have put on..maybe its the gout....it says gout gives sudden weight gain... I am too low...I was always afraid this wouldnt work for me...I have arthritis ..cant walk much...metabolism is very slow...

amazing....i too am having a vegetable juice daily...but we dont get all those tablets here....I live in India...i have started Omega 3 thrice... i am feeling better...am having apple daily...thanks a tonne.

hi Linda....what are the herbal remedies that you took for gout....do tell me.. I am feeling better, having vegetable juice twice...stopped high Protein diet...have a light veggie diet now...might not help in weight loss..but first I have to reduce the gout..

55 pounds is amazing weight loss..miss Mac!!!.i am stuck since more than a month...infact I have gained 1 kg since i got gout pain.. .got my tests done... cholesterol has risen....so has insulin level...i think thats why I am not loosing... making some changes in my diet. linda how wonderful that your pain has gone!!all the best to you both!!

Hi sheila, My case is similar to yours....not loosing much weight...a bit depressed....and now I have gout...which is not helping me at all...cant walk I am limping...hope it goes away soon.

hi pia...me too has put on weight....took some medicine for gout...and weight has gone up..must be Water retention... but it is depressing...

I too am a slow looser and weight has stalled since 1 month....i am having a lot of stress too have put on a few pounds due to careless eating... we must find time for ourselves,plan our meals properly...I do hope I loose a few pounds before my next appointment!!!

hi all....I have developed gout...must be due to the high Protein diet...my knees are better..due to less weight... .but now I cant take NSAIDS...my doctor is against paracetamol also....how do we manage...its easy to say dont take pain killers. i am going for knee transplant in oct.

oh Linda thanks for this post...I too have developed gout...and was wondering how to reduce the pain....6 Omega 3 1000mg 3 times? or total 6 capsules....it must be 6 right.2 at a time? I too will start...gout pain is bad...i am scared of walking...as it is i couldnt walk much due to arthritis.. thanks again.

Oh RJ....that was terrible...get well soon...and stay well.. all the best...a leak is a scary thought..

well.i am 59...but not so obese....and have not lost much weight....but I look slimmer...am a lot healthier...sugar bp gone...but body will sag ofourse...dont look so good without clothes...

what is DS? I do not understand.

i have also read that 600 calories is too less...maybe you should .try eating more...for a few days..you may start your weight loss. if you are stressed about your weight again body will not respond.
