Weight gain from Seroquel advice PLEASE

Lincoln NE

Description

Hi. I'm desperate enough I'm posting on CL! I have been on a fairly high dose of Seroquel for about a year now. I have gained about 80 pounds!!! I am an active mom of young kids and NEED to stay that way. Now I have torn tendons in both ankles from carrying the weight and keeping active. I am in pain every day, all day. I recently went to see about a gastric sleeve which I qualify for and have all the necessary appointments set up for. But I'm scared to have this surgery! I used to be a biker, swimmer, runner, hiker, etc! Now I can't do anything but walk in pain. ANYONE who has had this surgery....pros and cons?? OR, EVEN BETTER, how the HECK do I lose weight while ON Seroquel!?!?!?! I'm soooo frustrated. Going off Seroquel just isn't an option. I am NOT in to "fad diets" or expensive things like the Advocare plan! Any help or info from people you know or yourself struggling with this problem on the drug, please contact me via email! Don't need hate mail. Count your lucky stars you don't REQUIRE a med that does this to your body and if you have nothing but hate mail to offer, you probably need the medication yourself. ;) Thank you!!!!!
