I am 31. I have not been able to lose weight for a awhile now no matter what I do. I use to be 110lbs now I am 150 and growing. But for the past week I have had diahrea, bloating, and have gained 10 lbs. blood work for thyroids came back OK and the doctors say nothing is wrong with blood work. I do not know what to do.

How long have you been trying to lose weight? I assume you are eating healthy and exercising.

[ange2001]

For the past 3 years the weight kept coming on. I do eat right and exercise. My husband and family do not understand how I am the size I am.

You say you have had your thyroid checked, what about a glucose tolerance test? Have you been tested for diabetes?

[ange2001]

Yes, I have low blood sugar, it stays around 60-80

[J_9]

Well, that is actually around normal. Blood sugar should range between 60 - 110. So, that would not be low, but normal.

Have you had your heart checked? A total and complete physical recently? Is this weight more like a weight gain or generalized swelling?

[ange2001]

.my blood sugar drops down below that at times. Watching what I eat helps me keep it at a good level, I've passed out for it dropping to low at times. The doctors gave me a machine to keep a eye on it at home. . People tell me I don't look like I weigh as much as I do. I don't think it has been swelling, its weight gain. But I have been bloated for the past week. I have had a phycial about 2 months ago. Yes I have had my heart checked. I had a heart monitor for 24 hours, and another test done where they watch the heart waves or whatever

Okay, good for you.. Sounds like you are taking care of your health and that you have good health care providers.

You say you have been bloated for the past week... is your period due?

[LearningAsIGo]

Is the majority of weight in your abdomen or another specific area?

[ange2001]

Every where
