CPAP and Weightloss?

I've been told that my CPAP would help me with my weightloss, has anyone had any good results with this? How much did you lose and in what amount of time? I would like to lose 82 lbs. and need all the help I can get!

Thanks!

Re: CPAP and Weightloss?

Hi again Tiffany,

I was told the same thing but so far no results. As a matter of fact in the first few weeks I gained some back of the 15lbs I had lost over the past year. I need to lose about 60 to 70 lbs. I gained a lot of weight while my old Dr.s were watching my TSH climb but telling me it was within normal ranges so they wouldn't do anything. Put on 55 lbs in 4 years. I was a little heavy to begin with but I was healthy, never sick, lots of energy.

I would do anything now to lose weight but unfortunatley my hips and knees are gone from a mixed connective tissue disease asst. with lupus. Some days I ache, most days much pain. It's all I can do to walk on level areas some, stairs and hills are a nightmare for me. You can imagine how difficult any exercise might be.

I don't have a problem during the day. I am hungry all night long though. From 5 to 11 PM I will take a bite out of anything that doesn't bite me first some nights. No reason for it, try to curb it, but there it is.

I think part of our bad eating is from birth too. If you think back, when parents want their new baby to sleep through the night they feed them their first meal at night time. We continue to feed our children a bedtime snack for all their lives and then wonder why we all want to eat at night time? I truly believe we have been taught and conditioned to do this. Now all of a sudden we are grown up and middle aged and told not to do this anymore. Personally this is a harder habit to break than smoking I think.

Hope you have answers soon. May God Bless and Keep Us All

Re: CPAP and Weightloss?

Taking a Super B Complex vitamin has helped me with some of my cravings. You're right about the "night feedings"---I've had doctors tell me to not eat at night---and that's when I'm wanting to eat---I have to have something to "top off the tank".
