[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 31585, member: 1963"] I'm trying to unload 35 lbs of Zyprexa weight. I have real sympathy for kids taking this stuff. The only thing that has helped is to make the carbs I crave constantly into part of a meal and make sure I eat healthy amounts of protein and veggies with them. I'm limited on what veggies/fibre I can eat due to partial intestinal obstruction. So...I eat some meals backwards. I have my canned 'lite' peaches first. I can eat some whole wheat breads (I'm on a low residue diet)and have a slice of that and maybe a cup of yogurt. Then and only then do I hit the pasta. No snack food in the house beyond 'triscuit' crackers and I count those out. Since the zyprexa I can eat a whole big bag of chips in three days if I allow myself to...not good. I've gotten a sweet tooth since taking the Zyprexa, too (ugh) and I've taken to buying sugarless fruit juice bars (the natural fruit kind--nutrasweet makes me nuts)or the 'fudgcicles' for when the cravings hit. I eat a lot of veggies, those cooked to death but I also eat or drink the liquid they were cooked in to get the nutrients that might have boiled out. I save and freeze cooking or canning liquids to use in making soups and stews. Exercise is limited right now. I messed up my back about six months ago and was just able to resume walking any distance when I slipped and fell on the ice and fractured my tailbone. Luckily I still don't like chocolate or I'd be in real trouble. All I know is I've lost seven lbs in the past three months. This is gonna be a long haul and its the first time in my life I've been overweight, let alone obese. For those with kids on Zyprexa (or Risperdal which my psychiatrist says is even worse), not only are you hungry (I've woken up at night, hit the fridge and eaten cold leftovers, talk about nasty) much of the time, but you get cravings that to me are reminiscent of the times I tried to quit smoking. Tte kids can't help it. The APs really are crazy making when it comes to food. Wish me luck...I've got to get the weight off so my back and tailbone can heal and so my knees quit complaining so much. toK (if you are watching your blood pressure please be careful with canning liquids; they are not low in sodium) [/QUOTE]
