I really don't want to start this thread by blaming medication for my weight but I'm on 4 different antidepressants and the depo provera birth control shot. I am a 25 year old female, 5 '4 and currently 246 pounds. I desperately need to lose weight because I have to have back surgery for my worsening scoliosis (the curve of my spine is about 50° and progressively getting worse). My surgeon won't even consider surgery until I lose 50 pounds and tone up, which I think is a reasonable request. I have already lost 8 pounds in about 2 weeks just by not eating junk and reducing portions. I am fearful though that I will plateau soon because of my medications. Is medication really going to stop my progress or is it really not that big of a deal? If you've been through this, are currently going through this or have any suggestions can you please help me? Thanks
