losing weight tips for morbidly obese

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.

140-160 pounds is overweight, 170-220 is obese and anything beyond that is morbidly/extreme obese.

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?

Other Morbid Obesity Problems But morbid obesity doesn’t just affect the heart.

These prblems include: •Vascular disease: The most severe been strokes which can result in brain damage. This is often caused by blockages (occlusions) of cerebral or carotid arteries.

Well, I do notice one thing -- no fish. The oils you're using are great, but don't have as good a profile as fish oil. Combining them might help at least some. If your hormones remain out of balance, there are natural methods of working on it if it's not an emergency time wise, but that depends on the cause of it. By the way, if you're as tall as you say and you weight what you say, you're not morbidly obese.

I know they still consider me morbidly obese I think but since diet and exercise have worked before will look into another weight loss system.

My husband can't breathe. Has had every possible test on heart and lungs and they're fine. Yes he has a belly and is about 50 overweight but wasn't when this started. Morbidly obese people can move and breathe better than he can. All the drs. say (and we've seen many) is that he's fat. Even tried getting into Mayo but they don't take our insurance. We just are lost. Retirement is suppose to be fun.

I have dealt with the obesity prejudices personally, and have gone from morbidly obese to normal to obese, the last because of pain issues, not caused by the weight, as my back was in decent shape when I was at my lowest weight for several years. Weight can cause problems, or add to them, but it is not the answer to everything that goes wrong with a person. If he just sees your weight, he won't look for any other underlying conditions that might be causing a "weak" spine.

I was diagnosed yesterday with chronic EBV. My doctor wants me to take Adipex to help with the extreme fatigue. However, when I researched Adipex it says it is used as a weight loss drug for morbidly obese people. I am 5'6" and weigh 148 lbs. I am certainly not morbidly obese and I am very concerned after researching the side effects of this medication. Has anyone else ever taken Adipex before? Thanks for you help!

Probably not - but that is something requiring an in-person evaluation, I am sure they have told you that sigtnificant relief from pain can be obtained by simply losing weight (hard, I know) and that the weight problem means that a laminectomy may not be that successful.

I am very sorry sweetie but your not just overweight, your morbidly obese. My heart is breaking for you. I think the best thing to do is talk with a doctor and dietician to find out how to get you to a healthier weight. At your current weight, you are at risk for many very serious medical problems. Is there anyone in your life that can provide loving help and support? I wish you the best.

Are you morbidly obese? Being morbidly obese can easily hinder the oscillometric measurement that electronic BP machines use to assess blood pressure. Otherwise, wrist monitors are poor substitutes and often read wrong. I suggest you have it done manually at your primary care doctors orrice, urgent care clinic where it is free, or your local fire dept. If you are morbidly obese, then you have far greater issues to worry about.

For years, I urged him to get a sleep study, as I could hear his breathing would be interrupted with episodes of silence, as he stopped breathing for short periods of time.

I wouldnt try limiting your food intake as you need to keep the nutrients up for your baby. I am also over weight bordering on obese according to bmi and i have lost 15 kilos but that was from morning sickness and eating healthier. You can try light exercise like swimming if your doc says ok and just try to have a good selection of healthy foods to eat and you may lose weight as a by-product but again i wouldnt try to lose weight while growing a baby. :) good luck.

I weighed 226 and now I weigh 166 but still have diabetes. Though I feel losing weight may be stopped by losing weight I feel like that is mostly the morbidly obese though I am not a doctor.

Eating better and exercising can help your diabetes stay under better control and lower your A1C along with possibly preventing you from needing medication or getting a lower dose. I have been diabetic for 6 years.

Where in the post was she cruel about her sister's weight? The term "morbidly obese" is a medical term used to describe people over a certain weight. It's a health issue, not a judgement one. The information was completely relevant to her question, which was whether or not her sister's weight will effect her medication. It sounds like she's giving her sister all the support she needs by helping her with this and looking out for her future sexual health.
