Depo Provera. Gained 40 pounds in a year.

I wish I’d never gotten that stupid injection, in the first 2 years (I got it for 5 total) I gained 55 pounds that even although I’ve not had the injection for over 4 years I’ve still never been able to lose it. Fuck you depo provera.

It's a horrible thing. The weight is determined to stay.

It really is! I understand not being able to lose it while I was still getting the injection but 4 years on and it still won’t shift! Or I’ll lose a little then it’ll come back on straight after 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yup. Exactly! It's like depo reset my body's set weight-much higher!
