Wink How to manage weight gain after DBS

Hi Forum
I have posted my challenges and success with recent DBS. The stimulator was turned on August 5th. I was immediately able to walk. The past few days my legs feel tired and I have felt pins and needles , to a moderate degree, in my feet. I can still walk with no problem. What I need help with is weight gain about 20lbs. There is a lot of info on the net about this. Can anyone help me out with controlling weight gain? I am constantly hungry all the time. 1 hour a day of exercise is not helping. My neuro told me it should level off about 3 to 6 months. The weight is all in my belly. Has anyone experienced this and successfully dealt with it. All replies appreciated.
Thank you
Damon
