I have lost weight on DEPO...

But still have the occasional bloated feeling.
I try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a
day and that seems to help!

I eat the same as I did before but I have cutback
on my Carb intake (NO NOT ATKINS!!!)
...(I just went from eating 4 slices of bread a day to 2)
and I really watch the portion sizes on my plate.
I don't do the heaping globs of food or the second servings...
maybe because I am worried about the possible weight gain with
Depo...but if it makes me a healthier eater...why not!!

The only side effect I have noticed now in the 12 weeks is
oily oily skin...only on my face. If I can get that under control...
this product is almost perfect. My overwhelming migraines have gone
away...and the weird crying weeping...moodiness I was having on my
Diane-35 pill left almost immediately after switching to DEPO.

Good luck... weight loss is possible...but don't freak out about it.
Like my doctor told me...you are taking almost the same form of
drugs in the oral pill that you are with the shot...if you didn't
gain 40 pounds on the pill..chances are you won't on depo...
and if you feel you are extra hungry ..or depo makes you
hungrier....drink water...leave the house...go for a walk...

only you can stop the food from going into your mouth.

cheers!
