Help with weight loss

[Jamian62]

I have liver disease and cirrhosis. I am male aged 68. I have put on a lot of weight in the past 6 months. My GP has told me to lose weight. In the past I have used Weight Watchers when I lost some weight. The recent one was with Noom when I lost a bit of weight. However the loss plataeud and I began to increase my weight again.I don't know what to do as my health is changed. I have become incontinent and wear pads. I also have adult acne mainly in scalp and neck. Additionally I have a kind of stomach reflux irregularly. Been to see GP prescribed Fesoterodine 4 mg. Had an endoscopy in September nothing showed. Can you please advise me.?

Yes I would but each time I try to enter your WL site it tells me that site has expired, so tell me what to do

Hi Herman7275, I have no idea why you're getting the site is expired message. I assume you don't get the same message for the other HU forums that you belong to.

If you scroll down to the very bottom of the page to the "footer" , you'll find the HU help centre, I suggest you ask them, good luck

I feel you need to present at your GP and seriously tell them you want help to turn your life around . With complex and multiple health conditions you need a dietitian, professional physio and sensible planned exercise , combined with this your medication needs maybe quarterly assessment as you improve and the concerns about your skin - a dermatologist. The more you stick to this then first hand - the more you get the help . The medical profession are only human but they get such a buzz from a success story. Why can’t you be it ?
