You might be going through an eating disorder. Skipping meals and binge eating can mess up your body and mind. When the cortisol and inflammation levels are high, it can be concerning. It is still significant to ask for a professional's competence to help and assist you in improving your life.

Side effects of bariartic surgery
Female | 47
Bariatric surgery can have both positive effects on health and potential side effects. The specific side effects can vary depending on the type of bariatric surgery performed, but here are some common ones:
Surgical risks: It includes infection, bleeding, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
Nutritional deficiencies:It impacts nutrient absorption and lead to deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D. These deficiencies may require lifelong supplementation and close monitoring.
Dumping syndrome: Can occur after gastric bypass surgery, where food moves too quickly from the stomach to the small intestine. You may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and rapid heart rate after meals.
Gallstones: Rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery can increase the risk of developing gallstones.
Changes in bowel habits: Some individuals may experience changes in bowel movements like diarrhea or constipation, after bariatric surgery.
Hair loss: Temporary hair loss or thinning may occur due to nutritional deficiencies or rapid weight loss. This is usually temporary and can be managed with proper nutrition.
Psychological and emotional changes: Bariatric surgery can have a significant impact on body image, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Some may experience depression, anxiety, or body image issues post-surgery.

My mother is suffering from overweight. Can she have a liposuction therapy as she is in her early 50's.
Female | 49
Liposuction or literally ‘sucking out fat’ is a suboptimal therapy for OBESE patients who desire weight loss. Liposuction can be considered as a treatment option for body sculpting, or slightly overweight patients who need to shape their abdomen in a particular manner. However, if one is obese, liposuction will cause a disproportionate loss of fat over the tummy, and leave space for fat re-accumulation in the future.
There are many weight loss options for a proportionate weight loss, eg. diet, exercise, or medications.
The healthier or ‘more natural’ way to lose weight in obese patients (with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2) is bariatric or metabolic surgery, wherein the stomach is re-sized or bypassed using keyhole surgery. This surgery causes proportionate loss of fat all over the body up to 80% of the excess body weight, over a period of 1-1.5 years. This surgery is a safe and effective option if done by a certified surgeon at a high-volume center.

I am seeking to get relief from bloating and obesity
Male | 31
Bloating occurs when your stomach feels full, swollen. It's caused by fast eating, carbonated beverages, or certain foods. Obesity means excess body fat. Causes: excessive fatty food intake, insufficient physical activity. Prevent bloating: eat slower, avoid fizzy drinks, consume more fruits, vegetables. Combat obesity: increase exercise, choose healthier options like fruits, veggies, lean proteins. Small lifestyle modifications can significantly impact.

It is completely normal to want to increase weight; however, shots are not the solution. If you feel sick or unintentionally lose weight, seek medical advice immediately. Rapid loss of weight might be due to stress, sickness, or an underlying medical condition. The doctor will guide you on how to gain weight safely and healthily.

My body is gaining day by day instead of eating very healthy food and doing some workout
Female | 19
Hey there! Do you struggle gaining weight despite healthy eating and exercising? It's okay; sometimes metabolism slows down. Your body may not burn calories quickly. Hormonal imbalances or stress could cause it too. Make sure to get enough sleep. Drink plenty of water. Manage stress levels well. Consider consulting a dietician or trainer for personalized tips.

Female | 25
To gain weight in a healthy way, focus on eating more nutritious, calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially strength training, can also help build muscle mass. It is best to consult a dietitian or nutritionist to create a personalized plan.

I need to lose weight without exercise
Female | 20
Losing weight without working out may not boost your health. Needing to shed pounds could mean tiredness and trouble moving. Overeating unhealthy items might trigger issues. Try eating more fruits, veggies - not sugary, fatty foods - and drinking lots of water. Small steps improve your life.

The report indicates that the detailed fetal evaluation was difficult due to poor penetration of sound waves caused by a thick maternal abdomen. It is important to consult a maternal-fetal medicine specialist (MFM) or your gynecologist to discuss the results and determine if further evaluation is needed.

How to reduce lower body fat??
Female | 20
To reduce fat in your hips, thighs, and buttocks, eat fewer calories than your body needs. Excess calories turn into fat. Focus on eating healthy foods like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins, and exercise regularly. Activities like walking, jogging, or biking can help burn stored fat and improve overall health.

Can u drink slim fast 2days after a gastric sleeve surgery??
Female | 42
After getting gastric sleeve surgery, you need to watch what you consume. Two days post-op, avoid high-calorie drinks like Slim Fast. Your stomach requires healing time. Stick to water or clear broth initially. Slim Fast could irritate and cause discomfort. Follow your doctor's advice for optimal recovery.

How to lose weight without being too skinny ?
Female | 18
Healthy weight loss involves burning fat, not muscle. Our bodies require some fat reserves for energy and warmth. Excessive thinness can cause fatigue, frailty, and illness susceptibility. To slim down properly, consume balanced meals with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate regular physical activities like walking, cycling, or swimming. Avoid fad diets or skipping meals completely. Gradual and steady weight reduction is crucial. Stay hydrated by drinking ample water, and get sufficient sleep while losing weight healthily.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.
