[QUOTE="Walter Wolf, post: 1773254, member: 473281"] Thanks. Yes, I'm 40. I will take a look at the American forum for the meds advice, but the food thing is just not going to happen. I would be thoroughly miserable and I don't want that. I know the consequences and I'll deal with that when it happens. I just want my enjoyment back until then. If I can find some meds that will do that, I will be happy. I don't think that is a negative thing. For 40 years, I have lived life to the full. I have travelled to over 70 countries and experienced so much of this wonderful world. Now that I am semi-retired I have the chance to experience so much more. I don't want that to be overshadowed by restrictive diets making me miserable and constantly having to think about this **** illness everywhere I go. If I can find the right medication, I can get on with my life. Yes, I'm overweight. Yes, I eat too much. Yes, I eat the wrong things. Yes, I smoke. And yes, I probably drink a little bit too much beer. But that's who I am and I would far rather pop a few pills than change that. If that means I crash out 10 or 20 years earlier, so be it. No regrets. I just need to get back on my feet between now and then. [/QUOTE]
