I am three years and eleven months post op. I have gained sixty pounds from medicine from mood stabilizers and anti depressants. Looking to do OMAD for twenty one days to get back down to my ideal weight. Will it harm my tool or what are your thoughts of OMAD?

Hi: Aren't those meds fabulous. Seriously, I have taken them for years. I developed Bipolar Disorder following the birth of my daughter. It took the doctors 7years to get my meds right. They have caused all sorts of weight problems but I keep taking them because I know that it can be very difficult to get back on them once a period of time has passed since the last dose. You might try going back to the dr who prescribed them and see if they can be tweaked.

How did OMAD, or any other off-normal or crash diets, work for you pre-op? Did you lose? Did you maintain once you did?

Return to your plan. Your normal, everyday, sustainable plan.

Allow your plan, which is no doubt much healthier, do it's work. It may take longer, but it is sustainable and maintainable, and you will again re-establish good, healthy habits. Habits and health to take you through all your other challenges for the rest of your life.

Good luck,

Tek

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
