[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 158974, member: 1991"] The crazy thing is, Janet, with the medications, including the risperdal, that piled the weight on you, it would be medically induced weight gain, and yet you can't get the medical system to help you lose what they made you put on. As an alternative to surgery, I'm going great guns on my diet pills. I was talking to a doctor friend of mine tonight, she said t his particular pill was originally developed as an antidepressant but it didn't work too well and had the sided effect of causing anorexia, so they changed their marketing and development and now it's available as a diet pill. In the past when I've dieted, the weight loss slows and almost stops. Now, the weight at times seems to be falling off me. I'm only losing about a kilo a week on average (that's 2.2 lbs), but after 12 weeks that's 12 kilos, or 25 pounds. If you're heavier to start with, the weight drop is faster. With these pills you do need to diet at the same time, but it's not as difficult to do so. I take the pills and also have eliminated all fat, all sugar and all refined carbs. I've limited carbs in other ways but eat unlimited vegetables (apart from potatoes and white rice), one piece of fruit a day and small amounts of brown rice and wholegrain bread. The only fast food I allow myself is a small amount of sushi. Otherwise, it's all fresh, home-cooked, low-fat casseroles. Would your health system consider this option? At least as a start?
