Helen asks…
How do I tell a new friend that I’m having weight loss surgery?
I am having weight loss surgery next month and I recently started seeing someone. I’m not really sure how to tell him or whether I really need to tell him. I’m not really sure where our relationship is going and it’s not like I will be able to “hide” it. Just wondering if I should say anything and if so how do I bring it up in a conversation.

If you think that this relationship will last, the conversation will inevitably come up… Either during your surgery and recovery or when the weight starts coming off. Since your diet will change significantly (what you eat, how you eat and how much you eat at each meal), you will not be able to avoid questions from a significant other.
A good way to begin the conversation may be something like, “I have made a decision that is going to greatly affect my life and I want to share it with you.”
You can then proceed to discuss:
* Why you decided to have the surgery (health and emotional reasons, but focusing on the health reasons often makes it “hit home” with someone who’s unfamiliar with the benefits of surgery)
* What it will mean to your day to day life (i.e. Diet changes… Despite what many think, bariatric surgery is not the “easy way out”)
* The support that you will need from those around you, especially as it relates to diet and exercise. The last thing you want is for your partner to tempt you with things that may be harmful such as sweets or unhealthy food. If they understand the implications, they’ll be more likely to be a positive influence rather than pulling you in the other direction.
After having the conversation, refer him to a resource where he can learn more about weight loss surgery, including the research that supports it, the health conditions it improves and what life is like for patients afterward. These 2 pages are good places for him to start:
* http://www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/bariatric-treatment.html (Bariatric treatment overview)
* http://www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/life-after-weight-loss-surgery.html (Life after weight loss surgery)
If he’s a “keeper”, he’ll understand and support you!
Donna asks…
Is there a weight loss supplement that does not make you heart race?
I have tried many weight loss supplements, but everytime I seem to try one it makes me all wired and my heart races.
Is there anything out there that does not do that?

EASY WEIGHT LOSS:
To achieve a gradual, steady but an easy weight loss without any side effects is certainly very difficult.
Hence a safer and a more secure method of modification in food consumption and lifestyle pattern are highly recommended to reach the goal of an easy weight loss program.
Therefore, right kind of food in right proportions is encouraged in a weight loss program.

Confusion about weight loss? How is it possible to have permanent weight loss if dieting slows down metabolism
well, i know that eating less will have the body adjust to the new calorie intake and thus, no further weight loss. So how is it possible to have permanent weight loss if eating less doesn’t work?
Please give tips and suggestions, people who have sucessfully lost weight. thanks soo much!
weight loss cardiff answers:
The trick of losing weight is to fool your metabolism into thinking it is getting fed normally.If you try to lose weight by starving yourself,then your metabolism kicks in to low gear and hangs on to every scrap you feed yourself,making weight-loss impossible.Plus,after you have managed to starve yourself and not die,the minute you start eating again,your body sucks up every calorie it gets,and you pack the weight back on.
If you want to lose weight,which is a very difficult thing to do,you have to eat proper food:grains;veggies;low-fat meat./fish;drink plenty of water;and do some exercise.It sounds very simple,but it is very hard to do when you are de-toxing your body from fats and sugars.
Ask your doctor for an appropriate food plan for you.Don’t use or think of the word”diet.” It only serves to defeat you because it implies deprivation.And as humans,we do not like to be deprived of anything.
I might also suggest that you join a weight-loss group,like Overeaters Anonymous,or better still,a group like Weight Watchers.it is easier to lose weight if you are partnered with people who have the same goal as you.
Good luck to you,and eat healthy!!
PS:If you are a young person and need to lose weight:Start now because with every year,it becomes more and more difficult to lose weight and keep it off.Take the word of an old geezer.I know whereof I speak,sadly.
