Hi Debrah. A couple of other things to think about. First, it might depend on the time of the month. Second, some meds make it impossible to lose weight. My doctor put me on a very mild dose of Lexapro and swore it wouldn't affect my weight. I just couldn't lose anything no matter how I ate or exercised (hence my decision to have the plication). When I went to the OCC, I forgot the medication so I was effectively off of it for 7 days. The weight flew off. Then, my doctor didn't want me to stop cold turkey, so he had me take 1/2 the dose. Guess what, the weight loss totally stalled notwithstanding having had the plication. Now I'm weaning off completely and the weight loss is starting back up.
