I have noticed an overall decrease in my appetite and I'm not gaining weight. I've just been maintaining. Yeah he put me on it to lose 16 pounds. He is an endocronoglist but I don't have diabetes. I see him for other reasons.

He just kinda freaked out when he saw my weight gain (most of it is in muscle which is why I only need to lose 16 of what I gained) and he was like "yeah you need to be at a starting dose of 1000mil of metformin once a day and I also need you to do a coritsiol test to check for a weight gain hormone imbalance and if its positive we gotta run some tests." Idk. Something alarmed him.

But so far based on just 2 weeks my appetite is down at least. I last ate about 7 hours ago and I'm still super full. So maybe theres hope.
