Getting off Depo-Provera because of weight gain

[Thrashley]

I have been on depo for years now and just recently have gained lot of weight quickly. I'd say at LEAST 20 pounds in about 3 months. I have made the decision to stop the depo recently too, in the hopes my weight will go back down. Nothing has happened yet, but it is still in my system. I am just not going to take another shot. I have talked to so many people who gained weight on the shot and had it go back to normal once they got off it. Anybody else had this experience?

While it's true that hormone levels can cause weight gain, it is also true that you can prevent it.  Going on a low carb diet of 30 carbs or fewer will not only eliminate the body from holding water because of the absence of glucose, but it will prevent blood sugar spikes; thus supressing your appetite.  I suggest doing Atkins induction and zumba 5 times a week.  There is no way that you will gan weight with that lifestyle; it is thermogenically impossible.

Hi I was on the depo shot For a year and a hlf and stoped in September last year .It took maybe a month or two to lose weight but I didn't loose a lot  I went down from 134 135 to 129 130 ,and ever since I got to that weight it's been so hard to lose any more weight and I'm tired of being fat . Is there a reason why I'm not able to lose any weight, after I lost them few pounds I've been dieting and excercising every day for 30 to a hour workout for 8 months nothing !!????

Hi I am doing this research for my sister and from what I have read. I think this pill is dangerous and everyone body is different but I think that coconut water and oil will help this too pertaining to weight lose and daily cleansing. And for all who go to the Doctor you are the consumer tell them what is wrong and demand a answer or go to sum one who will listen. Do not go to someone who don't give u results when u know that is something wrong.
