Durban, ZA

Does anyone have any tips on losing weight when you're broke. I am working on my portion control and the weightloss is very slow. Any handy tips out there?

Thank goodness for the Church Food Pantry. Unfortunately very high sugar and carbs. Occasionally fresh veggies or fruit.

Gastric Sleeve

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Union Point, GA

I had a gastric sleeve a few years ago. All of a sudden (past 6 months) I can’t breath. I am retaining fluid really bad. I have seen numerous doctors and they all tell me the same thing that there is nothing wrong with me. But something is wrong. Has anyone else had this problem?

A MyObesityTeam Member

Try to see another doctor cos if you have pain and water retained this is not normal.

I Need Help Making A Meal Plan To Lose 30-40 Pounds.

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hartford City, IN

Hi, I'm 39 years old and am having a lot of trouble losing weight. I need help making a meal plan that will help me lose 30-40 pounds, and I don't really care how boring it is, and the more specific it is the better (time to eat, exact quantities etc). I don't know if I should go to a dietician or if someone here can help me with a plan or point me in the right direction.

Also, I can prepare food while I am at home, but when I am at work I can not prepare food b/c I work 12 hour shifts… read more

Do Overweight People Suffer From Depression

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chicago, IL

I have been overweight ever since my first baby but when I wasn’t overweight I didn’t have depression

A MyObesityTeam Member

FYI if you are not sleeping enough sometimes you will gain weight. Also, it takes time to lose weight after having a baby. The hormone need to readjust. Don't stress, love yourself and your baby.
