[QUOTE="ksm, post: 686322, member: 12511"] kind of a different topic for this forum, but not sure if other forums on here would be better. About 6 months ago Difficult Child had the Nexplanon implant put in arm. She had tried one shot of the depoprovera before that. She gained 10# after the first depo shot. Plus her moods were awful on the shot. About 3 months later, she had the Nexplanon...and probably gained 15#. She is just 5 ft tall, and has always been petite. Her younger sister (almost 5'2") has always been more curvy and wore clothes a size or two larger than older sister. Now younger sis has lost some weight (stress and anxiety from a bad relationship) and is wearing older si s's jeans. And older is wearing younger sis's stuff because her clothes no longer fit. But even those are tight... Today older Difficult Child broke down in tears. I told her I would get an appointment with Doctor that put implant in and they could discuss options. But, (what I didn't say) is even if we do that, she needs to learn proper nutrition. She is a very picky eater, only wanting carbs and sweets. No veggies, no fruit, no healthy grain items. Loves pop and monster drinks. Snacks constantly. Her insurance will give vouchers for about 10 visits for Weight Watchers. I thought they would be here by now! I need to take her shopping for a couple pair of jeans... I know this will be a touchy situation...and I am afraid to say much...we tend to not be the best at communicating. I have tried to get her to put snacks on a plate (instead of grabbing the bag of chips to eat with her sandwich) but she just doesn't get it. I told her put as much on the plate as she thinks she wants, and put the rest away...but I think it is more of habit or response...she just doesn't see how much she is eating... Any ideas on birth control that doesn't include weight gain? KSM [/QUOTE]
