F/35/start 219 lbs / Current 215 lbs / Goal 179 to 200 lbs
I have severe GERD (reflux) to the point it is changing the lower esophagus cells (Barret's esophagus).
In the past, I tried Weight Watchers (1980s) and found that all I could think about was food. What could I have? When could I have it? How much could I have? I decided, even after successfully hitting my target, that that wasn't how I wanted to live my life, so I stopped doing it.
I was diagnosed with asthma and every time I had a severe flare, I was given prednisone for 10 days. Anyone who has ever been on this may have experienced the increase in appetite it often gives. I gained about 10 pound each time.
In order to have surgery to deal with this, I need my BMI to be less than 40, and ideally around 35. I saw a post mentioning the living shrinking diet and have looked it up in a web search. It seems like something I could do for 3 weeks (starting BMI > 40).
What thoughts and ideas do you have for me?
