A member asked:
I am at my wits end. 7 months non smoking. 13 pounds overweight with no change in my healthy diet. was told weight would drop after 12 months or so.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I understand: Hi. However, 13 pounds won't kill or maim you...smoking will. If warranted, weight loss medications may be employed, depending on your BMI and any obesity-related conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, lipids, etc). All I can say is congratulations on quitting cigarets, and stay off them. Good luck!
