Abilify Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I take Abilify and am being sleeved at the end of the month. My metabolism has virtually shut down with this medication. Does anyone out there take Abilify? How has your weight loss been?

I take Abilify, too. I am preop, but have managed to lose 19 pounds with a strict diet and exercise program. Weight loss is very hard on this medication, but possible. Wishing you all the best!

Wow I sure didn't know Abilify will do that to you. I take it twice a day, have only been able to lose 9 pounds in 6 months.

Wow! Who was your surgeon? Did he warn you about this?

I've not talked with the surgeon yet about my medications. I'm on theophylline time release for my lungs and I know that is a metabolism downer. Found that out when I had my stress test, but they did get my heart rate up for 6 min and then said it was enough.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
