New Direction VLCD

It sucks! But it’s the only thing working for me. I tried so many times with low carb/1200 calories plus I walk 3 to 4 miles a day for exercise ( that doesn’t include at work) I will tell friends and my dr, I just can’t lose weight. They’d give me the look like, uh huh.. well I proved it to them all when I got a perforated colon from a diverticulitis attack. I got sepsis and could of died. I could not eat solid food for over 3 months. All liquid. Since I had to do all liquid I did Atkins shakes for the protein and only drank drinks with no sugar. I only lost 10 pounds. Finally my drs believed me. I have thyroid issues so they finally suggested the medically supervised VlcD my thyroid function is better and I’m finally losing weight. I have seen a lot of judgement in some posts on here but those people don’t have a clue. Not everyone is lying when they say, I only ate 1200 calories and didn’t lose weight. Also it has all the nutrients in the shakes so it’s not “ unhealthy” like I e heard. What’s unhealthy is high blood pressure and weight on my arthritic knees
