Consider this: http://www.bobbywhisnand.com. This trainer was obese, and he has developed a program that is adaptable to ANY level of fitness, any age. The exercises can be done sitting or standing, and his videos guide you through every step. He spoke at a support group meeting I attended, and I'm so glad I found his programs! Jean Z

Alex, thank you so much for setting up and maintaining this and the other sites for all these years! I really appreciate all of the time and effort you've put in, without remuneration, just to help those coming along later. Jean Z

Did you do those blood sugar and BP checks while you were actually dizzy, or after? I'm betting it's low BP. The reason I say that is BP can vary quite a bit within minutes, but blood sugar takes longer to change. Jean Z

Did you take it with food, or on an empty stomach? In general it's best to take vitamins with food, because they need food to do their best work. Jean Z

I'm pre-op, looking for clarification. What does MFP stand for? And who sets the values - you? surgeon? dietician? Thanks Jean Z

I had some of that ambivalence too, but I got over it quickly. I am ready to stop this yo-yo stuff, and the best way for me is to have the surgery. I have tried to lose weight on my own too many times, and my inability to stick to it over the long term is proof enough that IT'S NOT WORKING. Somebody famous said something like... Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. My surgery is scheduled for Nov 13th, and I'm EXCITED!
