I was diagnosed in early March this year, I’m currently on my third shunt (first two were lumbar shunts that kept breaking, so they gave me a VP shunt instead)
I’m very very overweight and need to lose at least 100 pounds.
What diets or food plans do you follow to help keep your pressure under control while losing weight?
And does intermittent fasting negatively effect your pressure?

    I feel like those are all great questions for your medical team. Hopefully they can get you started on the best path.

    Ask a lot of questions from your team. A referral to your local equivalent of a registered dietician may be helpful
