Hi, I know I need to lose at least 60 pounds to get into a healthy BMI and am making it my goal to do so this year. I have been overweight/obese basically my entire life and have always intended to lose weight here and there by not eating junk but it’s hard given that my family and I have always eaten unhealthily and have never been active. I have very few physical health issues but am terrified of developing high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, etc as I have a strong genetic predisposition to do so. I managed to lose over 30 pounds about two years ago during college but it was only because I was prescribed Vyvanse and Zoloft during that time which would basically destroy my appetite and would eat a few bites here and there. Once I came off these meds due to changes in insurance and panic attacks, I got switched to different ones that made me gain all the weight back and then some since I was in college and all the stress eating I would do. I have been over 200 lbs since quarantine began back in March when I found myself almost completely sedentary and eating the anxiety and depression away more than ever. I went off most medication except for some adderall here and there back in July and have been watching what I eat and exercising at least twice a week but I can’t keep myself motivated because my weight still won’t budge. I even tried counting calories, eating clean and exercising 5 times a week for at least 45 mins each time for a solid month back in October-November but I only lost 2 pounds. Ive been beyond frustrated and had basically given up for the rest of the 2020 given that it’s so hard to eat healthy around my family and even more so during the holidays. I’m thinking my only hope might be bariatric surgery but since it’s so expensive and invasive I am reaching out to you Reddit to see if anyone can help guide me. I know it takes time and deep commitment of course but it’s just seems impossible because well I’ve tried it to lose weight through diet and exercise at least 5 times at different stages in my life. I have even gotten prescribed Wellbutrin which has been known to make people lose weight and manage cravings which I thought would come in handy for the holidays but I’ve been on it for 2 weeks with a tiny change in appetite if any.
What are your thoughts on weight loss surgery? Wellbutrin?
Should I try and get back on Vyvanse and Sertraline which actually made me lose weight before? I know it not healthy to eat so little but maybe this time I could try eating soylent to still get nutrition in.
