Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I went to the nutrition class this week and I had good things and bad things happen. I was in a class of five people. Two of the women there were very nice and we talked until class starded. I even answered some of the questions they had for the Dietian. Thanks to my nightly reading of the posts. You all were very helpful and I encourage them to join us. The class was wonderful. But here is the bad part. The other woman that was there kept given dirty looks. I tried to ignore her but you know when you get the feeling that your being staired at well I felt like that the whole class. I tried not to look at her but when I did I would just smile. She looked mad at me and then wishper someting to her husband then keep on stairing. I felt kind of uncomfortable. Like she was talking about me. I know I just might be paranoid. The time I went to the class before, two years ago. I had sort of the same thing happen then to. I don't know why this keeps happening. Some people say I don't need the surgery, I just say ok thanks for your imput, I will think about it. Just so they will stop talking about it. And giving me reason why I dont need it. I know that this is a very big decision and it is my choice to make. I feel very comfortable about my decision to have the surgery. Any way I talked to the dietian and she said every thing looks ok. I have been on a low cal and no sugar diet for the past eight months. I haven't lost any weight yet but the medication I am on makes me gain weight. I exercise five day a week, two times a day. If I dont I will gain weight. I am always the same every time I weigh myself. She said that I will have to lose 24lbs. That will be the challange of the year considering the meds. I don't know how I am going to do it. Any advice PLEASE HELP!! Laurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Laurel First off don't worry about other people. Some people will give you a bad time, others have sarcastic comments and of course looks. Maybe it was because you other women knew answers to questions and she thought you knew to much already. Just let the people thing go and think about what you need. Have you done the orientation already? If you have just do the best on the 1200 calorie diet or Atkins, whatever works for you. The 1200 calorie worked for me, keep up the exercise, make sure your really doing all your water and don't go below 1200 to much or your weight lose will stop. I hope this helps. Take care.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Laurel--I agree with Donna. Don't worry about what other people say. Obviously, your doctor(s) believe you need this surgery. It's kind of like staring and prejudging someone parking in a handicapped parking space that " looks healthy " , you don't really know what their health problem is, same is, that lady apparently doesn't know what your health problems are. If this surgery can help you loose your excess weight and help you become healthier, (plus helps you KEEP the weight off) I say more power to you, and blessings to you. --HUGS from Sandi H. > I went to the nutrition class this week and I had good things and bad > things happen.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Laurel, I know that some of the meds used for diabetic patients can cause weight gain - glipizide, tolazimide, and others in that same class are particularly bad for this sort of thing. Medications for other conditions can also cause problems. You might need to talk to your PCP and ask if there is any other medication you can switch to that would work for you (my husband did that and he's now on a different medication that doesn't make him gain weight). Also, you sound like you're exercising a LOT. This may sound crazy, but are you actually eating enough to support your exercise? If you follow the 1200 calorie diet and you're working out that much, maybe your body is going into " starvation mode " . You might need to eat a bit more (healthy stuff only!). Be sure you get plenty of water, too. Good luck! You can do this! Cathy C. > > I went to the nutrition class this week and I had good things and bad > things happen. I was in a class of five people.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thank you all for the kind words. The problem with the meds I am taking is that it's the only one I can take. The other ones either I am allergic to or they cause bowel upset and I have a real problem already so my doc won't put me on any other for my diabetes. I also take meds for my high cholesterol, depo for ovarian cyst, 3 different kinds of pain meds, 2 types of depression meds, some to help me sleep at night, and some for allergies. Any one of these could make me gain weight. Thats why I am trying so hard not to gain weight. It seems to be working ut I don't want to stay the same I want to loose. I have alot of anxiety issues that I obsess with not eating any junk food, sugar, or anyhing that has way to much fat. Everthing is sugarless, fat free, low carbs, high protein, very low calorie, no cholesterol, and I drink my 64oz of water. I try so hard but nothing works.
