  • I am 72 years old and have been a MFP member for some time. In January of this year I discovered the Atkins diet. I have been really successful with it and lost weight. This year I have lost 38 pounds so far.

  • Yes belviq worked great for me from December 2015 to August 2016 lost from 308 to 245. My surgeon that did my hernia surgery years before said I wasn't losing weight quick enough & needed Bariatric surgery. So I went to the Bariatric surgeon who said can't do the bypass due to my colon being tangled up in my hernia. So she…

    in Gastric Sleeve Comment by annglenn March 2016
  • That is why I was referred to a bariatric surgeon because of needing hernia repair. This hernia has been repaired 5 times now & my hernia surgeon says that I need to lose a lot of weight quick in order for a hernia repair to work. He recommended gastric bypass. However the bariatric surgeon says it depends on if she can…

  • The larger our group grows the harder it is to get to communicate & support one another. I understand what a couple of ladies are saying about keeping the group open so everyone can join that wants to. This is not my decision to make however I have tried two different open ended groups for older ladies. In the end I…

  • Just checking in to say hello. Not doing too well right now my eating is way out of control in fact I call it binge eating at this point. I am back on another antibiotic for sinus infection this time around. So even though I have pushed for bursts of activity I have been sick since March 10th. My allergist is sending a…

  • Good evening ladies a long day for me again today. Today it was picking up new orthotics ( boy my feet are hurting) & a mammogram. I know we all love those don't we. LOL. :sad: And yesterday I had three appointments in a row. So tonight I am just tired. So tomorrow I am planning on taking it easier & replenishing my food…

  • :smile: Ok it's a new day and a new week. I really messed up this past week and gained 2.2 pounds. I looked back over the days at what I had eaten and it is no wonder that I have gained weight. Yesterday I was blaming my overeating on the negative words that someone had said to me. Today I have to tell myself that is there…

  • dpm14- glad you joined us. I have had a day like that today & have not even gotten to the point of eating dinner. I have to watch myself though because sometimes I try to make up for some of the calories by skipping a meal. The problem with skipping a meal for me is I wake up late in the night really hungry & over eat. So…

  • Well the sodium count is down 1000 mg. today but still to much. I was looking @ my log in today & realized I do much better to start the day off with oatmeal instead of my home made breakfast tacos which takes a bigger bite out of my total calories. Josie- thanks for the feedback on blood pressure meds. I take 1 prescribed…

  • Wow yesterday I consumed 3,783 sodium. And I have high blood pressure so I should really be watching this issue. Isn't it ironic how you can go through meals, days or even weeks in a self induced fog & not even bother to notice what you are actually eating. At least that is what I have been doing. And then I skip meals or…

  • Saturday-food issues- Wow now that is a long story. I have dealt with an eating disorder all my life. My diagnosis is Bipolar/eating disorder. So as we all know some days are better than others. And the last few days have really been bad for me. I have been eating a lot of processed food which means a lot of sodium. I have…

  • Socialist-I like the idea of the visual goal of one size smaller pants plus not spending a lot of money on them. I have so many different sizes in my closet that I can't wear & I have to admit it is discouraging. Single Mom's Club movie today was so funny if anyone gets the chance to go see it. I also met my challenge goal…
