I’m on several medications with weight-gaining side effects. My doctor put me on 500mg of metformin for several months to help lessen these side effects, however, it was unsuccessful, and I continued to slowly gain weight. After finally advocating for myself, she’s taken me off metformin and put me on 37.5mg of phentermine. She also set me up with a nutritionist who I’ve yet to see. I’m hopeful about this medication change and excited to work with a nutritionist for the first time. If this doesn’t work out, she said there were more medication options for me, but I’m really really hoping this is the change I need.
I’ve been feeling like a failure with my weight loss journey lately, but Im trying to stay patient as my medications play a big part. I refuse to give up, not just on my physical health, but my mental and emotional health too.
Has anyone else struggled with medications making them gain weight? Any experiences with a nutritionist? Success stories? I’d love to hear them.
