tapslp 0 Posted June 15, 2016 I am 2 year post sleeve surgery. Had lost 125 with about 50 more to go. I have an autoimmune disorder so for last 3 months I have been on prednisone and have been eating everything. I have gained 18 pds. I am so upset. Why can't I stop eating... Ugh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 15, 2016 How much longer are you on the prednisone? That's such a difficult side effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tapslp 0 Posted June 15, 2016 I was on 40 mg for past 3 months now starting to come down. So now on about 20 mg a day. Dr said I probably won't be able to under 10 mg Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2goldengirl 2,076 Posted June 15, 2016 Unfortunately, increased appetite is a known effect of Prednisone. I'm sorry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tapslp 0 Posted June 15, 2016 Yes thanks. I think I just have to fight harder to take control over this. I have been through to much to gain all that weight back. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 15, 2016 @@tapslp It's been quite awhile since I've had prednisone but maybe if you have healthy alternatives to eat when the starving feeling comes - you'll not gain or gain less weight. Eat some cucumbers & hummus instead of chips, have a SF popsicle instead of ice cream. I wish you luck! Autoimmune disease sucks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
