I am bipolar two, with two kids, single mom and on mess. I am currently enrolled in class on my path to weight loss surgery. I haven't been able to lose weight since I started my nets. I'm struggling

    It's tough being a single mom, more so when you are also dealing with bipolar, I've been in that situation for a long time and it's really hard sometimes, especially when we are unstable and not doing well. I hope things get better for you soon.

    I gained almost 30 pounds on my meds. I never had an issue with weight gain before starting medication, I ate whatever I wanted and I always stayed the same weight...it was really difficult for me to accept when I got heavy. It has been very difficult for me to lose weight. I have had to be almost obsessive about my diet and exercise, and even then the weight has come off very slowly. But it has come off.
