Please if any one can help me please answer unexplained massive weight gain - medications ?????

I have many health issuses ranging from Chronic pain , caused bry a car accident 6 years ago, for which I take Morphine daily - through to being a type 2 Diabetic (due to being morbidly obese) - before the accident I weighed 71 kg, after the accident my weight at my heaviest was 147kg, I had my gallbladder and my Myrena IUD removed and lost 63kg in under 4 months, I've since had another Myrena IUD inserted and have gained over 24kg, my sugar levels are really high with readings between 26.4 - 9.3, I have NO appertite, my Dr won't believe me that I'm NOT OVER EATING ! I've even had my husband try to explaine to our Dr that I don't eat, due to my pain issues I am some what restricted with excerise, but I do walk each day for 45 minutes - which now gives me chest pain, On top of all this I am going through a very early change of life, my blood pressure rises with pain, I'm only 35 years old, if I don't lose a lot of weight, I'm at risk of 1 in 4 chances of having a stroke or heart attack.


Answers:

I don't know if this is right for you or not. I just started with Alli (orlistat). It is a medication with FDA approval for weight loss. You take one 60 mg capsule with each meal. Alli prevents your body from absorbing about a quarter of the fat you eat.

In addition the Alli starter pack contains guidelines about what diet you should follow while on it. In my case It is ~1400 calories/day and only 15 grams of fat per meal. I also record everything I eat in the nutrition log. If nothing else having a log stating exactly what you are eating should convince the doctor that you are not overeating.

Talk to your doctor before starting this medication and good luck.
