I'm a vet and because if surgeries and unable to do the physical activities since I got injured I have steadily and rapidly been gaining weight. I have sleep issues so that doesn't help w the weight issue, I'm so desperate that I contemplated having my jaw wired shut. I'm only 35, 5 ft and now weigh 170 lbs, never in my life have I been so big, I feel so uncomfortable. But despite all my attempt my cravings are stronger than I and I feel like such a failure. Most of all I am extremely extremely uncomfortable w ask this fast. I began having surgeries since last October and now I'm so fat I keep going up cnt seen to drop at ALL

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate:Vet - Male/35 - 5 ft - increased to 170 lbs - ** this is BMI of 33.2 and comes under *obese category - began having surgeries since last Oct for injuries - unable to do physical activities - also have sleep issues - desperate having jaw wired shut - cravings are stronger - wants to reduce weight and thought of meth too.
I would like to know a few more details for me to assist you better:
- What are the surgeries undertaken and how they have made you unable to work-out?
- Who told you/ why do you think that Meth reduces weight? And will help you?
- How much was the weight before the injuries?
- Have you tried any medicines?
- Any associated medical problems like hypothyroidism or diabetes?
- Any other information you would like to share whether relevant or irrelevant?
All these things will help us to have a better discussion and possible solution.
Awaiting.
