    Dear Friends,

    I and my husband suffer from Morbid obesity with BMI more more than 40, last week we visited Fertility specialist after being on TTC from past 1 year.

    Doctor told me straight forword to go for some weightloss suergery and come back again and with this level of obesity she is sure its not possible to concieve.

    while i have been reading reviews in google about the after effects of such weight loss surgeries, and knowing that its highly expensive i am also thinking on the other side of the issue with my obesity

    - i always have low selfesteem because of obesity from my childhood
    - now i cannot concieve because i am obese
    - i always get advices to lose weight and feel guilty about myself that i cannot do much about it.
    - i littrally cannot excerise a lot like it is expected for someone to really make diffrence.
    - i might have emotioanal eating problem which i dont know how to solve and concentrate on my dieting..
    - atleast whatever diet and excerise plans i have tried(i do admit without much dicipline) i have not susceeded much..

    so i think surgery may help me but i am still in dilemma.. can you please guide me...

    I am sorry you're going through this. Have you ever tried working out with a proper trainer?

    Of course it will be little expensive but safer and better than surgery.. I personnally prefer natural wt reduction than artifcial.. and with natural the chances of gaining back wt is minimal if you follow the rules.. I would say talk to a good trainer and in the side get an appt for a good dietician.. But remeber this will all work only if you follow 200% of it.. If you cheat or eat junk in the middle nobody can help. You can control your mind and your body will react. We cannot simply blame on our emotions and hide. Your the controller of your mind and body. This is what I always say to anyone who says I cant exercise - If I can do it Any tom, dick and Harry can do it. Be strong. You have suffered from Childhood and its high time to stand up to it and face it. Dont see what people say they will stunted if you get back to shape naturally

    It's just not weight!! We can see loads of obese woman around us having healthy pregnancies and cute babies! However, there are other factors included like what may be the cause of obesity? Have you checked for pcos? Obesity is one of the side effects of pcos and a most common and treatable cause of infertility. There is significant rise in pcos cases now a days. If a gynic asks you to just put off weight when u have pcos, just change the doc. Were you tested for other factors and causes too?
    Be strong, stay positive :) All the best.

    my opinions below

    A BIG NO TO SURGERY IT IS NOT AN ALTERNATIVE FOR OBESITY IT AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH RATHER THAN GETTING BETTER.

    you haven't tried to understand your body and haven't observed where you are going wrong in your diets and exercise.
    To Loose weight you needn't do long hours of exercise. Rather you should be able to consistently workout for 5 days a week for an hour. Long hours doesn't mean you will loose weight easily. Its a wrong concept.

    For the body to realise that you are trying to loose it takes 90days do you know that and the weight loss starts only after that. So since you aren't consistent in your diet and exercise then you wouldn't get the result.

    Another thing first take off the thought of inferiority complex of obesity. Its just that you have not realised how to maintain your body weight and mistakes can be corrected. Nothing is impossible in this world first have that thought.


    Observe your body and each body is unique and one diet plan is not universal.so you need to change your diet pattern and take slow steps for exercise. Take step by step actions don't be in a hurry to make a change.
    Unluckily we humans don't have a magic wand to change things according to our wish. But we all are lucky that we have the ability to change things which is again a magic wand I guess.

    You are not here in this world to prove someone.SO you need to take control on your life rather than saying I cannot.

    Saying I cannot I am not able to is all escapism for hardworking.

    Hard work and effort with smart planning will change anything. The diet I followed which you can try and see

    EXERCISE::1HOUR WALKING ONLY

    DIET MEANS NOT LESS FOOD ITS THE WAY OF LIVING

    MORNING :COFFEE
    BREAKFAST:CHAPATHI OR OATS PORRIDGE OR DOSA ONE OR TWO
    LUNCH :ONCE CUP OF RICE AND TWO CUP OF VEGETABLE
    AFTERNOON:COFFEEE AND TWO BISCUITS
    INBETWEEN NUTS WHEN I FEEL LIKE SNACKING
    DINNER:FRUITS LIKE NENTHRAM,POMO OR TWO CHAPATHI WITH SUBJI

    I LOST 15 KGS WITH THIS DIET PLAN

    Dear op,
    Sorry to hear about your problem, but don't worry, every problem has a solution. Please take second opinion from infertility specialist. Weight Loss surgery is not the first solution. Have you tried diet & exercise? If you can't do much exercise, you can slowly built up your stamina with help of a trainer as rightly said by others...and yes we see so many obese ladies carrying healthy babies! I am sure you too will soon. God bless
