Diet pill

[northstar9148 82]

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.

@@northstar9148 I'm sorry about your injuries and difficulties. My concern is if you can't plan meals now - how will you post-op? Can someone help you? I would not do diet pills.

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.

Maybe you can find an APP on your phone to help? Do you live alone?

@@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!

How much is a stone?

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.

Oh, ok thank you.
