Every time my pdoc recommends a new pill I ask if it causes weight gain and if he says yes, I say no I won't take it. I'm 5'1" and weigh 190 pounds. This is h*** on my arthritis. I just had both knees replaced and I need to lose weight so that my new knees last longer.

That's awful! I'm so sorry and I know exactly what you mean about once it's gained it's permanent!! I am fighting weight that I started gaining 3 yrs ago. I have ruptured discs so I hear you on arthritis. I'm sorry about your knees, and it's so expensive to use a pool. The way I look at it is I feel like **** every single day bc I'm obese I'll take a prn antipschotic for so many reasons.
