Hi everyone! Well, I had a doctor's appointment this morning for my yearly checkup. It's been 2 years since I've been so I kinda had to keep the appointment!! Everything seemed fine except for my weight!!!!! Can you believe that I have gained 37 pounds in 2 years??!! WTH!!! I knew I had gained some but just not how much.

I gave my doctor a list of all medications I'm on and she said that it's the Gabapentin. She said it does this to some people (apparently I am one of the lucky ones...). Plus, the fact that I'm not nearly as physically active as I once was adds to the problem.

I am totally exhausted so I'm going to go take a nap. Which will probably contribute to my weight gain total for this week...

Is there any medication where the side effect is weight loss?? And if there is can I have some??
