If you have done the low calorie always hungry diet and failed, driven back to food like we all do. Have a look at low carb.M3T4LLik4 wrote:I can attest to this. It has been hard for me to accept that this is part of my life. I am a big guy, but not super overweight. I see other people that appear to have worse health than me, and it makes me feel bad that at only age 27, I need to have a cpap. the truth is, there are million of people that remain undiagnosed and may not have developed symptoms. I was one of them. I don't know how long I had apnea (hypopneas in my case) because I didn't feel the body fatigue until recently and it could have been affecting me since my early 20's considering my snoring. The good news is I am taking control of my health at a young age and as I continue to eat healthier, drink less alcohol (outta college mode mindset) and work out, my body is thanking me. I continue to dwell on not feeling like a million bucks most days, but I am coming to terms with the patience that therapy requires to work. I don't compare myself to other these days, but rather try to be grateful I have been given an opportunity to become healthier and happier. It takes time. I hope you continue to stay positive, as I try to remain positive about my new life routine with CPAP. The nice thing is knowing this forum exists, with knowledgeable people who care about others in their shoes.
