      Hey Twitter, I got very fat after a stroke which disabled me & required me to take meds which made me permanently ravenous. I've lost 34 lbs since coming off them, but now I need to really focus on getting back to normal. I can do this. I will post my progress even Friday.

      Hold me accountable, tweeps. I was always slim but right now I'm morbidly obese & need to fix this. I will now do so. Encourage me & if I don't report weight-loss one Friday, demand an explanation. I must do this,

          I had to do the same after coming off epilim (for epilepsy) so any support you need, I'm happy to give.

          Great drug for what it was, but eugh side effects. It was/is hard work. But I found a friend at the start and we did it together. Now doing the last bit alone.

          Yeah. I'm lucky to be able not to take any anti-epileptics now. I found they made me very sleepy too.

          Ugh, :( I have them very rarely, fortunately, but they are one of the effects of the cyst on my brain that caused the stroke-like thing.

          That doesn't sound good at all. Are they helping you at all? Do they have a cure? (Which sounds like a dumb question!)

          They won't remove it unless symptoms get much worse coz danger of death. It's manageable. 😊

          Can you do a low-no carbs diet? It's the easiest way if you can handle it health wise.

          Not for very long. It makes me miserable. I do best eating a wide variety of foods but fewer calories.

          Very high fibre & water will help with satiation. Chewing gum can also be helpful (to replace random munching).

          You’ll figure out what works best for you, though.

          Also, boxing up half your meals helps. Even if you eat it a half hour later, it helps. The key to losing weight, imo, is food procrastination.

          I'm best off just having a set menu.

          Gosh. That's tough - being morbidly obese, I mean. You know you will feel SO much better once the weight starts dropping. Hang in there. Can you exercise? Really recommend weight training if you can handle it.

          Most peeps don't like taking medication either. I'm 70yo female with osteoporosis of spine. Been weight training for 7 years (to stay off bone saving meds) & benefits have been dramatic.https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/power-training-provides-special-benefits-for-muscles-and-function-201304226097 …
