Any advice?

Question

Hello! I'm 21 years old and what doctors may call "morbidly obese" weighting at 310 lbs. I've done EVERYTHING to loose weight, even went through a gastric bypass procedure but it didn't work out at all. I really want to loose all this fat AND maintain it. I'm at ends meet and don't know what to do.
It's taken a huge toll on my mental health, I can't help but cry when I look at my reflection in the mirror. 
Any advice on what to do?

Answer

I lost 140 lbs on medifast. It works great if you are strict with it. If you aren’t strict with it, it is a waste of money. I did end up gaining all the weight back and I am so upset with myself for that. I am giving birth in December to baby #2 and will work on losing all this weight after that. Would like to go back on medifast, but I might just go back to weight watchers.  All the best to you on your journey!

Answer

You have to take a hard, honest look at your daily habits and determine what you can commit to changing. Making a long term change to your nutrition choices will definitely be your game changer. Weight lifting may be hard at your size so I suggest walking regularly as well as getting in a pool to move around enough to get that heart rate up and burning some of the excess fat before you put any additional stress on your joints.

Answer

I had done gastric sleeve and I always do the post surgery diet and then immediately following it I do weight watchers! I only do post op diet if I have fallen off the wagon though.

Answer

Have you tried any nutrition based programs? I know of one that really teaches you how to use and understand food leading you to have a better relationship with it. If you would like information on it I can definitely send it over. Let me know.

Answer

a consistent workout routine! and high protein low carb

Answer

You could try eating plant based, it woukd make a huge difference in your health and you would naturally loose weight because you wouldn't be intaking any fats from animals, any cholesterol, and any animal byproducts.
These 3 pictures are from my aunt who is a Nurse Practitioner and eats a plant based diet. This is how much protein each food has in relation to the amount.
There's plant based versions of every food you can think of - so you wouldn't miss out on anything. I'd put my money on the meat, eggs and dairy (that aren't good for you) (meat is literally classed as a carcinogen) that may be massivley contributing in your inability to loose weight like you want to.
