Punky,

Even if Metformin does not produce weight loss, it is still better to take it, unless she has side effects. It helps prevent diabetes. Zyprexa and some other AP's may lead to diabetes, so why not do something proactive to counteract that? Metformin is benign enough for pregnancy. In fact, it increases the chances of conception. ..
Thanks for this!

She also told me about a lot of tricks like switching to brown rice from white, whole grain pastas etc. Following her plan I lost 20 lbs in 2 months, which I unfortunately regained when I relapsed and started drinking again.

I'm now in a position to start cooking for myself again, so I'm going to go back on her plan and try to start loosing weight again.

registered dieticians are expensive but if your insurance would cover it, or you could afford it, it's really worthwhile.

Losing 20 lbs in 2 months was a shock for your body, and most likely you relapsed into drinking in response to that shock. If you treat yourself with love and care you will be less likely to need to drink alcohol in excess.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
