Talk w your DR 1st.: To lose weight insure that calories burned > calories consumed. Drink at least 8 - 8 oz glasses of water per day. Try for 8 hours of sleep/night. Aim for at least 5 servings of vegetables & 4 servings of fruit per day. Use whole grain when possible unless it worsens your sx's. Avoid sodas, alcohol & junk carbohydrates. Go slow and gentle. Get cleared medically by your doctor before starting.
