Is There Any Exercises I Can Do After Neck Surgery?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Maryville, TN

I had neck surgery in 2015 and to this day I am still having problems.I have rods and screws in my neck. I was told I would not be able to raise my arms above my head, therefore lifting weights is not possible. I know I need to exercise, but my muscles stay in a state of tightness and spasms from my neck to my shoulders. I don't feel like exercising cause I know it will put a strain on my neck and will hurt. Therefore I just don't do it. Does anyone know of any exercises I might be able to… read more

Has Anyone Tried Hypnotherapy For Weight-loss

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Johannesburg, ZA

I realise that my inability to lose weight is psychological. I've been through a lot of therapy over the years and we've identified the sources and triggers. But even though I am aware of my triggers and emotional eating and secret eating habits, I just can't seem to get into the mindframe of "now I will only eat clean and healthy", "no more bingeing" etc. The big irony is that I do really enjoy eating healthy, but I also go and eat lots of rubbish.

Has anyone tried hypnotherapy to help deal… read more

Undereating

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Meridian, MS

People always think that because you're overweight that means you overeat. My doctor has actually told me that I need to eat more, but I don't normally have an appetite. I need meal suggestions to help increase my food intake. What can I do? Eating when I'm not hungry makes me nauseous, and my meds suggest I eat.

A MyObesityTeam Member

I like the protein cheese, nut snacks are good for that. wheni worked i would set an alarm for 2-3 hours and eat one of the small snacks. it helps stay off the blood sugar hills and vally's.
