I am not looking for an excuse but a possible explanation. Has anyone noticed difficulty losing weight while on Toprol XL? I was really motivated a few months ago and had started going back to Weight Watchers, trying to get back to my goal weight. I was doing good (down 14 lbs from pre-op weigh in) and then got to a point where I just couldn't lose beyond - which is still around 10 lbs from my goal. During this time I was steadily being increased on the Toprol from 50 MG to now 200 MG/day. I am hopeful, since I had positive results on my echo in June, my cardio will begin dropping me down. But - I was wondering if this med could be part of my struggle.
PS I do remind myself it sure is nice to be worrying about losing weight as opposed to having heart surgery and the issues I was dealing with from the heart surgery!
