weight gain and still doing the right things?!

[Orama1985 1]

I am roughly 2 years out at 18 months I started gaining. At the time I was doing p90x which is a pretty strict workout. Eating roughly 1300 healthy calories a day. My job is a fedex driver 12-14 hrs a day very active life 5 days a week. At like 14 months was told I had PCOS and hypothyroidism had to get blood work from an endocrinologist only thing wrong was Vitamin D was low and thyroid hormone was not that crazy. I am on medication from both I made sure they didn't cause weight gain. NOW my endocrinologist put me on strict hypoglycemic diet and gave me a pill called Qsymia it's a doctor approved weight loss pill well 4 months in haven't lost one lb. I am at a loss off what to do and now I had back surgery on my herniated L3 and L4 last month so this is my new obstacle any suggestions?

Hi. I am being evaluated for hypoglycemia. My weight loss really slowed--6 weeks no change. It started to drop again last week, but slowly.

What is your diet? How close are you to goal? I'm 25 lbs away.

I wonder if you are eating enough food. I increased to about 1200 calories and I did lose three lbs. This is my normal day

6:30 coffee with half and half

7:30 chobani 100 (no sugar) Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon sliced almonds

9:30 slice of 45 calorie bread toasted with 1 tablespoon no sugar Peanut Butter

12:30 salad and 3 oz of chicken or beef or tuna. I use a bit of olive oil on my salad.

2:30 reduced fat cheese stick and a few slices of Apple or some berries

6 3-4 oz meat of some kind. Salad or some veggies. Sometimes a bite of potato. Sometimes a piece of bread.

9 another chobani yogurt.

I average 1200 calories, 60 grams carbs and 80-90 grams protein. Sometimes I eat an extra cheese.

I have 10 cups if water too.

I know this is an old thread but thought i would reply. I was diagnosed with PCOS in feb and was weighting 295. Doctor put me on Qsymia and treating my PCOS with metformin twice a day and I have lost 40 pounds in 3 months. It has really helped me suppress my cravings for food.
