This week’s question is as follows:
Question: I’m 24, 5′4" and I weigh 220 lbs roughly. I’ve always been around 160ish but when I got pregnant I let my weight get out of control and now I’m 220. I’m pretty sure I’m a candidate for surgery but I think it’s kinda taking the easy way out. What should I do? I’ve done a cycle of the hcg diet and I lost about 15 lbs so should I just keep doing that?
Answer: Hey! We weight the same at the same height and age! LOL. I feel you on wanting to lose the weight. I have been eating better and exercising. Have you tried exercising, dieting and eating healthy? I have done that and lost a little bit of weight, but I do not exercise everyday like I should. I think that surgery should be a last resort if you are not able to lose the weight on your own. I heard from someone who was getting the surgery that they make you wait a year anyways to see if you can do it on your own before you get a lap band or gastric. They monitor your blood pressure, weight, what you eat and they do this because they want people who are serious about losing weight.
