For the past 2 years i have had terrible problems with digestion. I have pain off and on in my stomach and intestines. I have thin stools and i digest my food in 6 to 8 hours. i've tried yogurt but it really doesn't seem to help a lot. i've been doing some research on my own and thought it might be celiac disease but i'm obese and haven't lost any weight in the past 2 years. in fact i've gained about 15 pounds. as a matter of fact i can't seem to lose weight.
Hi - I am a 40 y.o female, obese (but losing weight now - slowly). I take medications - neurontin, paxil, synthroid, climara (estrogen patch), provera, and at nite, ambien and klonopin. Most of the meds I have taken for a number of years. I have been obese for about 4 years. My chol. is now 215, down from 258.

About a month ago, I developed 'skipping' heart beats - I could feel them when I took a carotid pulse - heart rate not fast, just skipped beats which I could feel in my chest.

You could have an over active thyroid causing you to lose that much weight so fast. Some of the symptoms you describe could be attributed to thyroid issues. And just because your blood tests came back "normal", doesn't mean the levels are actually normal for YOU.
You might also want to ask your doctor to run other hormone tests to make sure your estrogen and other hormone levels are where they should be.
I doubt that any doctor would support a weight loss goal of 25 lbs. per month unless you would be morbidly obese. Most of the weight you would lose would be water weight anyway, and it would come back quickly. I recently consulted with a weight loss doctor who prescribed a sensible diet (moderately low carb) and the medication Adipex. That combination was magic for me. The diet resulted in rapid weight loss, and the prescribed medication made it easier for me to follow the diet.
I was 260 and losing weight before I got pregnant but now that I'm prego I weigh 280 and I've had a healthy pregnancy so far and I only have 20 days to go
how awesome that you lost that weight! Losing that weight HAS helped you, just depending on how you lost the weight and how fast, it might take your body a while to adjust your metabolism...
But, to be completely safe, you really do want to have monthly check-ups with your doc to monitor your weight, blood pressure, fasting blood sugars, and urine protein, just to make sure that no other potential issues might be going on.
Again, congrats on the weight loss!
I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant with my first child. I am 5'3 & weigh 212 pre pregnancy weight.
I'm 6ft and my current weight at 37 weeks is 414...anyone else consider obese while pregnant? If so are you having any complications?
Hey all, I'm 30 weeks pregnant with our 4th child and have gained a total of 25 pounds and my doctor isn't happy she said 0 pounds would be ideal...that's impossible I'M PREGNANT! I'm what doctors like to call obese (hate that word) anywho I think I'm doing gteat thus far with the weight gain. What do you guy's think? Is 25 lbs too much?
I can also feel nodule underneath the skin (not sure if in fat of facia) and if these are pressed, the pain is tremendous, often radiating all over. I also have difficulty losing weight - I know every obese person says this, and I don't say I can't lose weight at all, but I do it much more slowly than others, whether the diet is Weight Watchers assorted type of Atkins low carb and no matter how much I exercise. Is it normal for fatty tissue to be painful?
This article is from a well known hospital and they state that losing weight when obese does indeed reverse some of the cardiovascular issues someone may have due to obesity. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/losing_weight_sooner_rather_than_later_gives_the_best_chance_of_reversing_heart_damage_from_obesity_according_to_study earlier is better 9as in the younger you are) or the sooner the better. Yes, some damage could remain but this gives someone the best chance.
Thanks ladies for sharing. Its a scary process, i just pray every day that the baby is okay.
