Need advice

I don't think that's going to be an issue. Your doctor and medical team will record every medication you're taking in your chart, and they wont do anything that will cause a poor drug interaction. Go forth and get skinny!

I’m struggling this weekend. As an emotional eater with a dad in hospice it’s agonizing!!!

I’m sorry about your dad. I’m not as much of an emotional eater as I am someone who stops eating during times of heightened stress and anxiety, then when I finally decide to eat or get hungry I binge or eat stupid foods. But I’ve recognized this, and most of my triggers. I will have a protein shake or yogurt, maybe just a piece of toast. It’s not much, but it also is enough to get me to my next meal without going overboard. I wish I had more advice for you on this front. My dad passed in 2013, somewhat unexpectedly. I don’t know your relationship with your dad, but your relationship with food right now should be one of bringing health into your body. The more stressed and the worse we eat, the worse we feel. You have a lot going on right now, so try and take care of yourself.

Thank you and I truly appreciate the advice. My dad and I have a very strong relationship which is why it’s bothering me so much
 
the death of my father in November 1986 Who was the catapult for me. I started looking everywhere for a weight loss solution other than Weight Watchers or OA. My dad died of complications from diabetes and he had also had several heart surgery. His father dropped dead from a stroke at the age of 59. I always remembered that and it always terrified me. I've outlived him already by 10 years. But he was very active and not overweight so it doesn't really matchup. Still, I saw the writing on the wall and I didn't want to die like that. Please accept my condolences on your father who is terminally ill. He was the hardest parent for me to lose. In fact losing him caused the bridge to blow up that had existed between me, my mother, and my 7 siblings. I haven't returned to the hometown where they all live since my mom died a couple years ago. Losing losing either parent is probably the biggest hurt you can suffer. I admire you for taking care of your dad. Your selfless decision probably has made it possible for him to live longer and happier.
