SandraHi Anna,
I have never taken dex but from what I understand, it is easy to gain weight while on dex. Hopefully some of the moms that have taken it in the past will post for you. Acutally read the one under Tonya’s post.
I would bet though, that if you have a very rigid eating plan, you can control it. It might be easier for you, knowing that you will be extra hungry to plan your meals etc...
I am still about 25 pounds over where I want to be and it’s hard to lose so dex for me is a little scary too but I figuer eventually I will get it off. What you get for that extra weight is a little miracle anyway, so don’t be too hard on yourself.
Good luck,
Sandra
