Hi
Since being diagnosed with under active thyroid 5 years ago I have slowly gained around 45kg (90lbs) which NOTHING will shift. I work, lift weights once/twice a week, I walk, so I am active and carrying this excess weight is painful and uncomfortable. I am 51, in peri-menopause, which might explain why I am stuck and can not lose weight.
I believe in and follow Peat's nutritional philosophy passionately but in my current state, my body feels like it is in a constant state of inflammation. I have all kinds of different symptoms, too numerous to even try and address.
I found that the more weight I gained, the hungrier I got and my self discipline around food is getting weaker. I had a busy life and never had this kind of weight issue before. Since learning of bariatric surgery very recently, the thought of going for it has never left my mind. Anything to get myself out of this 'suspended state'.
Does anyone on the forum have some experience, knowledge or opinion on Gastric Sleeve /Bariatric Surgery?
I know they cut off the part of the stomach where gherlin is produced - the hunger hormone. What freedom it would be to only eat for optimal nutrition and without any fear....
Thank you for reading
