My aunt had a gastric bypass and she has major problems with gas. Also, it undid iteself as she continued to eat. It's no easy solution. Keep working out and eating less if you can. It's better for your body. |

| Health & Support | Topamax? Wellbutrin? | Dec 07 2008 16:30 (UTC) |

I take 300 mg of wellbutrin to avoid depression and it's very effective for me. I think my serotonin level is low and wellbutrin helps raise it. I was prescribed topomax before surgery a few years ago. I didn't like the way it made me feel although it did kill my appetite and I lost 10 lbs.(which I've since regained). I couldn't keep taking topomax due to the headaches and mental confusion. For me, it was a very powerful and scary drug. I wouldn't take it again. |

Personally I have to take breaks where I don't log food or focus on food. I just try to maintain my weight and enjoy other aspects of my life. I come back to it a few weeks later. Otherwise I get burned out. I still have 20 pounds to lose, but it won't happen overnight anyway. It's important to slowly develop better eating habits. |

Yeah, it sucks when you're being careful and not losing weight. I have been trying to lose 20 lbs. for two years. For the past three weeks, I've been extremely careful with my food. The first week I lost 4 lbs. The second week I lost 1 lb. The third week I lost 0 lbs. It's disheartening since I eat about 1400-1500 calories a day (I'm 5'10) and work out 5 days a week (usually advanced step, circuit training, or zumba). When I don't see the dial on the scale moving down, I really lost heart. What else can I do anyway? Why is it so hard for me to lose weight? Even losing 15 more lbs., I'm still at the top of the weight chart for my height. I know I have a lot of muscle, but I'd really like to eliminate the layer of fat that's currently on top of it. I don't want to think about food all the time. I wish it wasn't an issue. |
