For ages my weight has been fairly steady but recently I have piled on the pounds; 9lbs in 6 weeks. I feel so heavy and the dresses I have just bought no longer fit me. I am exercising and eating healthily, including protein which I eat first but each day I am heavier. Has any one else experienced rapid weight gain?

I started taking propranalol in March and within 2 weeks I had gained several pounds in my stomach. I am of small frame so it was very obvious but I wasn't connecting it with the meds until I started reviewing propranalol. I have leveled out but still not happy with the weight gain as I've had to buy new clothes. I started the shock diet which is about 600 to 700 calories a day and have been faithful for 3 weeks and have only lost 2 lbs. I'm seeing my cardiologist Friday and asking to change to another beta blocker.
