View 33 RepliesNeedless to say I am more than surprised to have lost 10lbs and find myself wondering if its just water? The good thing is I have been given another prescription and the nurse said I am on target.....
View 34 RepliesJust weighed myself - I'm a month and 5 days into the programme. I'm now 11 pounds lighter. I'm on holiday in two weeks and was going to break the programme but now in two minds what to do.
View 32 RepliesWent for my weigh in with the nurse and I've lost 1 and half kilos in 4 weeks, not bad considering i've not been able to take our puppy for a walk because of all the snow and ice. I now weigh 13st 1 lb (83 Kilos) and my BMI is 30.3. I haven't got a target as such, my nurse said to aim for something i'm comfortable with and my daughter said to aim for a BMI between 25-30 so almost in that bracket. I don't think i'd look healthy at the recommended weight for my height but no where seems to take age into account- I must admit i'm a bit disappointed that i'm still a size 18 for most things and with only 3.3 pounds short of a 4 stone loss was hoping to be nearer the 14-16 size.
Hope every body is having a good week, Good luck for any pending weigh ins- (my nurse still wants to see me in 4 weeks so she's not taken Christmas into consideration unlike somebody elses Dr
Keep up the good work everybody
By the way I've been treating myself to a good for you hot chocolate with Amaretto in it delicious
My second week on tablets and i've only lost 1lb,not very happy!have written down all food eaten,tired to keep to 1200 cal and been very careful with fat amounts in food.
View 2 RepliesMost postings here are asking about symptoms of stomach cancer, as we all worry we have got it. I suppose I worry more because my mother had it. I have had constant nausea for 3 weeks and loss of appetite for about 3 months. I have lost quite a bit of weight.
View 1 Repliesi'v been on the tablets for a month now and instead of losing weight i've actually gained 8lbs..im doing everything right..i mean i haven't had chocolate or takeaways or even low fat crisps for the last month
View 2 RepliesI've been on the tablets for two weeks now. I've worked out what I can have fat wise without getting the dreaded side effects. Cereal for breakfast, soup and yogurt for lunch, chicken or fish plus veg for main meal. I haven't been having my usual binges on biscuits and sweets either. However I am a bit disappointed with my weight loss. I lost 1 pound the first week and two the second. I know any loss is good, but I have been trying really hard to cut back and lost more than this in a couple of weeks on weight watchers.
I have a lot to lose (7 stone) so hoped for more. Maybe my body will 'catch up' - has anyone else had this experience? I've been on so many diets and lost a couple of stone and put it back on ten times as fast as I took to lose it.
I am a diabetic and take a background insulin and a quick acting insulin to cover my carbs. Has anyone else been on tablets and insulin and had a successful weight loss ?
View 2 RepliesWhilst taking orlistat, i am also taking anti depressants which is what made me put the weight on in the first place. My doctor said i would probably loose more weight if i wasn't on the anti dep. but i am not at a place where i can come off them at the moment.
What i wanted to ask you was if you could ask your nurse if there is anything i can do to boost my metabolic rate/weight loss.
Have you noticed more weight loss when eating certain foods. I was told whilst on slimming world that peas and strawberries are good weight loss foods. But i can't live on them.
Besides 2 hours of working out each day, does anyone know of some natural methods to help with stubborn weight? I have an underactive thyroid And unless I work out like crazy its hard for me to lose weight.
View 1 RepliesBeen on sertraline since mid April. Started at 25 mg now on 100 mgs. My appetite is still not so great. How long (if you experienced this) did it take for your appetite to come back.
View 1 RepliesI had a vasectomy in 2005. Pre surgery orgasm was amazing and shot far. Since then it feels boring and the semen only drizzles. Has anyone else had this issue? Why? It's been ten years since I've had a good orgasm. I'm only 42. Dr says it's mental.

However I'm a by worried, I lost an ovary 2 years ago and the only one that I have left I was diagnosed with pcos a couple months ago. My question is "does anyone know if this will harm the baby in any way?" I'm going to the doctor tomorrow but I'm just trying to prepare myself for anything that she might say...

View 1 RepliesI have been suffering from some internal Hemorrhoids that prolapse after a bowel movement for almost a decade. After they prolapse i gently insert them back into where they belong and it has been ok and hasn't affected my life much.
However the past a few days ago after making a bowl movement i noticed when they prolapsed they were very inflamed and large and painful, i couldn't put them back inside me. I waited until the next morning but unfortunately the couldn't go in so i had to go to a hospital. The doctors managed to insert them back in when they applied some gel but it was painful and not easy.
Then 2 days after same problem but they kept on bleeding, had to go back to the Hospital and same thing.
I hope they get better more manageable soon but i doubt it.
Anyway i really want to avoid the traditional Hemorrhoid surgery as i have read the horror stories on here about being in pain for 4-8 weeks, complications and also i can't afford to take so much time off work.
Hence why i am considering the HAL/RAR Procedure, from my research it is less painful and hypothetically you can be off work for only 48 hours.
has anyone experienced this procedure? What was the pain like?
