When I was ip I did loose weight. I can't remember as I had ECT.
But I do remember hospital here in CR refusing to eat.
I was 137 when I came home from ip.
I think I'm probably 185 now. I'm 5'10" so it's not really bad. But I'm used to being thinner. And lots of clothes don't fit.

I can't seem to lose weight on any medication, so you're lucky!

Well, swimming helps a lot. When you are tone and firmer you look thinner.

My husband said I looked like crap when I got out of ip at 137. He said my skin was hanging and I looked sick. It's hard to get a compliment from him anyway. He's a glass 1/2 empty. While I like to be the glass 1/2 full person.
