I weigh 340lbs, have heart disease, hypertension (those are part of my VA disability), diabetes, recurring foot/leg infections (have one right now, as a matter of fact) and sleep apnea. You’re preaching to the choir. I can’t do bariatric because it’ll probably kill me.
I am not saying it’s for everyone. I am just saying that it’s not easy to take that route as some people seem to think. I wouldn’t have done that myself but it was the right thing for my friend.
I am on a high protein diet because I have hypoglycemia. I feel so much better now than I have in years. I have always had problems losing weight on the so-called low fat diets. I gave up sugar, white flour and all simple carbs. The weight that I have been trying to lose just seem to fall off. Finally! I am still losing but a very little at a time. I really don’t want to lose anymore but I just keep eating the way I am and it will all even out!
