Doctor appointment went well yesterday. We spoke a long time about my issues. I am going to attempt the NutriMed diet that Scott & White offers. It is a lot like nutrisystem, bars, shakes, soups, sensible meal. I can buy the product as I go along, so didn't have to spend $100s yesterday. The shakes and bars are actually good. Bought a box of shakes and then one box of bars. I am supposed to eat those mix/match items 4 times then one meal I prepare a day, snacks such as carrots, fruit, etc. I am pretty sure my lifestyle won't allow me to eat like that forever, but going to give it a month and see how it goes. I should be eating around 1200 calories a day with this plan. I am to exercise 7 days a week a minimal of 15 minutes. Plus with having to go in monthly to report to him, maybe that will motivate me to keep going. We talked about the Phenetermine my sister-in-law is taking, but he advised against it for me. He might consider some hormone replacement later if I start to lose and the factors such as tired, no drive, etc doesn't pick up naturally. My thyroid issue he said the symptoms don't match as normally with a high thyroid you lose weight rapidly, are hyper, trouble sleeping. He believes my is metabolism and mental. I am beating myself up about the weight, frustration, stress, etc.
So in a nut shell, no miracle cure like my co-worker who dropped 35 pounds by getting her thyroid working right and taking cortasal and progesterone. I am stuck the old fashion way, eat right and exercise :)
Dr. feels my tiredness, low drive, mental state is all due to the weight and if I can start losing, all will kick in through my metabolism. In the Sept 2009 I weighed 166, yesterday at appt weighed in at 182.5 (3pm appt). So he could tell I had gained, but the good news was that I wasn't where I was in 2007-2008 which was in the low 200s. So he was not excited I had gained back the weight, but he was glad I put a hault before I got back into the 200s again.
