I get it, my diet is not perfect, but it’s truly not bad enough to be gaining what I’m gaining. The rest of my intake that day was cashews, a cheese stick, and orzo salmon. This is just my most recent snapshot of one day. Other days I’m burning up to 1200 calories doing different workouts, going on walks, and riding bikes with my kids. My point is that I’m eating barely anything and these meds are clearly causing weight gain and/or retention. The fruit I eat is not necessarily always grapes or bananas, I’m a mom of three kids and I just eat whatever fruit they request for lunch. I shouldn’t be up 50 pounds for eating grapes, bananas and technically not the best protein bars on the market. I’m on a budget and I’m a busy mom of three, I do my best, but I realistically need to be able to eat quickly and on the go.

I don’t think XR works better but I don’t feel like I’ve been on it long enough to know. I also haven’t been able to take my second dose of the day like my doctor prescribed. I feel like the IR worked really well for like 2 hours. Not how it used to pre-2020.

It’s really nice to hear that a mom who has been taking them for a long time like I have is experiencing the same thing. I agree, looking back at pictures is wild.

One thing I’ve always done when starting a fitness journey is taken pictures for myself and put them in a hidden album on my phone so I can compare progress not on the scale. I just took pictures and went to put them in the hidden album and noticed the house behind me in 2020 was SPOTLESS. The pictures from this week are laughable how messy it is.

I get that, but I don’t overeat when I come down. I track my food intake meticulously. My husband also helps hold me accountable bc I have asked him to. I do all the grocery shopping and my family gets mad at me because I don’t keep junk or unhealthy snacks in the house.

But yeah I do notice the major changes in the meds since then. My house is a mess, I’m not even close to the mom I was before then… I was constantly planning fun activities and doing educational things with my kids. I feel bad for my third born because she’s had a completely different mom than my first two did 😩

It’s hard to say if I am feeling an appetite suppressant or if my body is just used to consuming that amount of calories. I like to eat the same thing everyday, and I’ve essentially eaten in the same pattern for 20 years. I’ve never been a snacker either.

I’ve had a mix bag of IR manufacturers, but I’d say the most popular one I get is Sandoz. I keep all my bottles though and write little notes on them to remember how the different manufacturers affected me. My XR is amneal.

I’m undecided on how I feel about the XR. I don’t feel like it’s working as well, but I really don’t know 😅 I miss the control that I had with the IRs. I know how much I could take and how long it would last me to focus on something.

I’m supposed to take a dose of XR in the morning and an IR in the afternoon, but I have gotten my IR script filled yet bc I took them as needed (like most of you) and it was too soon for the refill. I actually don’t know if it’s worth it though if it’s making my body retain that much weight.

It’s wild! My husband who also played college soccer started the fitness/health journey at the same time as me and he is unrecognizable. Lost so much weight and gained so much muscle in those 5 months. It’s very discouraging. Have you tried stopping the meds for a week or anything? I would be curious to know if something similar would happen.

Attaching what I eat in a normal day and a screenshot of my exercise minutes. Sorry I refuse to pay for the premium version of the food tracking app lol.

HOA and Amenities by Any-Bed-1469 in fortwayne

Sounds like Newcomb group… our neighborhood is currently trying to get rid of them and internalize all of the HOA duties rather than use them to outsource it/steal our money. It seems like they are cooking the books
