How To Lose Weight?

I had a hysterectomy in December. I was put on elleste duet 2 mg whereas before i had been taking a 1 ml tablet. I gained 10 lbs within a month. I have been very, careful with what i eat which isnt difficult having been anorexic for all of my adult life. I go to the gym or swimming at least three times per week. Yesterday for example i swam 64 lengths. Tomorrow i will walk/jog for at least an hour. I have lost three pounds in six months. I dont know what else to do. I stopped taking the elleste two eeks ago in the hope that it will help me to loose the excess weight. All of it is round my stomach. I look pregnant.

hi
Welcome to health care Magic

what you need to do is to control your portion size of whatever you are eating e.g if you are taking 1 nan/roti, reduce it to 1/2. One more thing which i mostly recommend to my patients is to take 1 or 2 glasses of water before lunch and dinner then take your meal after 15 minutes. By adopting these guidelines you will reduce your weight in short span of time.
