In the last 6 months I have seen my primary care physician, my obgyn, and my endocrinologist. All of them are trying to help with our 20 months or infertility. There are all in consensus that I need to lose weight, but these are the suggestions I have gotten from them:
Do water aerobics a few days a week.
Try the HCG diet.
You need a lot of protein, like Atkins.
You should walk at least 5 days a week.
Weight Watchers will teach you healthy life habits.
A personal trainer could really help.
A lot of people have success with the lap band.
Besides all the bi-polar recommendations, two of them have said my weight loss so far has been "not important" and "a little, I guess". Really?! Last time I checked, that is what you want, but unless I choose your screwed up method, it doesn't count! I have lost 33 pounds, I feel good, and I was happy with who I was before this all started! I don't need them or their approval!
But really, I do need them. I'm not ovulating, and without ovulation, I can't have a baby. And without medical "help" I don't know if my body will do it on it's own. I just wish they could make up their minds. And I wish they would try to be a little bit nice about it. I know I'm fat, but I'm also really sad that I can't get pregnant. Please try to be a little sensitive!
Congratulations of your 33 pounds! You are losing weight slowly, which will keep it off much better than some of their suggestions. Hang in there. I'm proud of you!
