Depo shot

[marissela928 8]

I have stalled and gained 15 pounds, i exercise 3 times a week and can hardly eat much. Im starting to wonder if my depo shot is to blame. Im 1 year out and have only lost 30 pounds. I have read so many stories about depo shot causing weight gain..has anyone else gone through this?

Hi there, I don't know exactly, but I'm on depo and had surgery in Oct (RNY), I've lost 85lbs since surgery. Things have slowed down the last 6 weeks, but still moving and body changing. I don't exercise very much as I have a two year old to run around after and generally just keep busy. I eat about 1300 cals a day.
My only advise is maybe you're not eating enough as you said you "hardly eat much" and exercise 3 times a week. You could always go off the depo and see what happens. I've been off and on it a couple times and never really noticed a difference. But I'm sure it effects everyone differently. Good luck

I'm on the Depo shot and had surgery last December and have lost a little over 80 lbs. I exercise on my elliptical 5 to 6 days a week, also riding a recumbent bike 3 days a week, and I weight train twice a week. I think that thisisthenewme is right that you may not be eating enough and you may need to increase your Fluid intake and Protein.
