Weight gain

[Miral]

My story with endometriosis started five years ago when I was 24 years old and I was suffering from a painful period. I have gone through different steps in medication I started with decapeptyl, lupron, then I had a lap to remove endo (stage 4) then after the lap I had to take visanne as endo starts to appear again after the lap. Endo cyst size is not growing with Visanne, however, at each time I start a new drug, I gain weight that I can't lose after even stopping the medication. When I started decapeptyl I was 119lb now I am 147lb. I have not changed my diet I am almost following the same regime, however, I am still gaining more and more weight. I know this is not the worst part of endo but I am really started to be very depressed from this continuous weight gain. has anyone suffered from the same and was able to overcome can tell me what can I do to lose the gained weight and stop to gain more?

Hi, Yes, I've been battling weight gain since my last endo surgery. My endo is back now so I'm on Prostap which has made me loose weight. A friend of mine gained 20 kg after her surgery which she managed to loose with a special diet that includes lots of protein (vegetal and animal), no sugar and no alcohol! I think the alcohol works worst for the endometriosis so might be worth giving it up entirely...

Hope this helps..
