Depo-Provera shot

I thought about the shot, but my cousin said she didn't have a period when she took it. And gained weight. I didn't want that. I thought about the patch, but my Dr. said you could have break through bleeding. So I just went and had my tubes tide. I still have to take a low dose birthcontrol pill so that I have a period. But it is working for me so far. I just did not want to get pregnant after losing 86lbs. Hope everything works out for you. Lisa

I've been on Depo Provera since surgery, my weight loss is right on target according to my surgeon. What is eating a great deal??? There are days that I eat more than others, and according to my nutritionist that is very normal. I'm guessing if you actually went into fitday.com and tracked everything you ate on the days you were eating more than you feel you should you are probably totally fine. My nutrtionist wants me to stay between 1200-1500 calories a day, under 50 grams of fat, and at least 65 g. protein. If you are still losing, I really wouldn't worry about it. The patch is too dangerous as far as the reports that have been out lately, and the pill is not effective enough after surgery. If after a couple of shots you stop losing and start gaining than I'd worry about it. As I said, I have had NO problem...my weight loss has been slow the last few months, but I have attributed that to my love of wine...with that said...I still on surgeon target. Good Luck. JUDY
