SOS - omg - major whine ahead

I dont think it's the drug...unless there's fat inside that little pill lol.

Im trying to figure out why I paid so much for such a stupid piece of technology lol. I guess i'm the fool ;)

apparently   1 liter of water ways  1 kg

so 2 typical water bottles you buy from the store , (500 ml each) will weigh  1 kilogram 

1 kilogram is  2.2 lbs.

so your probably just getting water weight fluctuations.   dont stress it

and i would not weigh myself every day,,   lets say once  week.

hope that helps some.

I wish I was there to give you a nice long hug my friend. Geezuz, I frickin swear you & are a match made in "hot mess" heaven.
I want a big hug when I see you this Sunday!!!!
Things will get better my friend, I promise!!! xoxo

You have done so amazing and always encourage everyone to stay on track.  Do the same for yourself stay on track.  Do you think maybe your scale is broken?  Have you tried a different scale?  If it isn't than it's water...no way it could be anything else.  The way you drank that broth makes me think you had a salt craving and it is in fact PMS.

I am going to stay on track - that wont be an issue but this is mentally painful.

I think my electrolytes were off and that's why I wanted the broth - im a sweet person and never crave salt so it was a little weird but it's over and done with.  Thankfully I always have a safety net in place so even when I want to quit right now - I can't :)

I'll get through this - I just need a little perspective on life - its not the end of the world.

Im cutting my hair, clipping my nails, running a marathon, donating blood and sleeping in the sauna....I better lose those 9 lbs by the end of all that :)


If I'm eating for the wrong reasons to begin with - I wont stop. So...I try not go there when I'm totally an emotional hot mess. I like to save the indulgences for more social situations rather than comfort food.

I'm happy as a clam again...freak out is over :)

Does Wellbutrin Cause Weight Gain?

A number of side effects are possible with Wellbutrin^® (bupropion hydrochloride), and weight gain does appear to be one of them. This data comes from clinical trials that extensively studied this medication and documented its side effects.

Side Effects and Clinical Trials

Before medicines are approved, they must go through several clinical studies in which thousands of people are given a particular medicine and are then compared to a group of people not given the medicine. In these studies, the side effects are always carefully documented.   As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.   As many as 13.6 percent of people taking Wellbutrin gained weight. However, an increase in weight also was reported in 22.7 percent of those not taking the medication. People taking Wellbutrin are less likely to gain weight. In fact, the drug is more likely to cause weight loss (see Wellbutrin and Weight Loss).  

Dealing With Weight Gain on Wellbutrin

If you are taking Wellbutrin and weight gain occurs, talk with your healthcare provider. He or she will do a physical exam to look for other causes, such as certain types of medical conditions. If the problem remains unexplained, your healthcare provider may give you some suggestions, such as eating heart-healthy foods, exercising more, and limiting your intake of alcohol.   If the weight gain continues, your healthcare provider may recommend other lifestyle changes or possibly switching to another antidepressant medication.

I'm voting for the Wellbutrin as the culprit.

First of all, HUGS. If I gained 9 pounds overnight, I would also be freaking out. I really, really believe that it is from the sodium. Chicken broth has a sh*tload of sodium in it. Antidepressants can put weight on, but Wellbutrin is one of the one's that isn't known for weight gain. Continue to push fluids. Also, is your scale correct?

If it continues, ask to have your thyroid and other labs checked, to rule out another cause.

how long have you been on the wellbutrin?
