[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am certain that this is 'not you,' but in case someone's reading for whom it's the case:

If there've been any changes to any medications, be sure that you discuss those and any possible side effects with your docs as well.  I was on a med that's decidedly NOT 'weight neutral.'  After careful consideration and very,very deliberate 'titration' off the medicine (gabapentin), what stunned me the most was how much the med had increased my appetite, which I had not at all realized.  I'm still not sure it's worth it because the drug hugely decreased the neuropathy it was treating, and the 'substitute' isn't doing the same job, and I know that the 40 extra pounds in a year (huge heavy sigh -- pun intended) isn't due solely to the gaba -- but if I ever find myself gaining more than a few pounds again, I'm going to start querying long before I'm at this many :( :(....

Hang in there, OP.  Again, I know my situation's different, but I do feel your challenges.  I would also encourage you not to feel embarrassed, though.  Many of us have been there.  We get it.  You'll get through it.  And if you do have another baby, you definitely want to be healthy when you conceive, so putting your body through negative dieting or unhealthy practices is not doing your or your two little ones any favors right now:  stay the course and take care.[/quote]
