I started CPAP in January, and noticed I had gained about 12 to 15 pounds after my first two months of using the CPAP, been trying to lose the extra weight, but not successful yet. And, I have not gained anymore weight . . .

I still get sleepy during the day sometimes, in particular when I am sitting in a seminar or lecture.

Wow, I'm really surprised at how common the weight gain has been. At least it's not just me.

Today was a good day as far as my food choices, so I just need to stay the course! Thanks everyone for the encouragement & advice.
