I’m hoping for any insight or advice on my situation. Nearly a year ago, I had an embolization procedure for a fibroid the size of a cantaloupe. At the time, I weighed 145 lbs and was 5’8". I started gaining abdominal weight after the procedure, and now, I weigh 175 lbs. Despite eating a healthy, strict diet due to multiple food allergies, I still can’t lose weight. I consume between 800-1800 calories daily depending on my work schedule.
For nearly a year, I struggled with anemia, couldn’t exercise, and had very low ferritin levels. I had two sets of iron infusions. Now, I’ve also been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I’ve tried weight loss medications like Adipex, but I haven’t lost a single pound. I feel helpless, as I’m not used to this body and refuse to buy larger clothes.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
