I lived on phentermine for three yrs before ever looking into weight loss surgery ..it is bad for you it causes heart valve problems. I went to a heart Doc. a couple of mths ago and had a stress test and two other tests to make sure I didn't do damage , thank goodness im ok, my heart Doc said it is the worst thing to take.

I feel good and the soreness is sooo much better and the gas is tolerable. good luck with your new life keep in touch

Hang in there u will do just fine I felt the same way but in just 13 days I have lost 23 pounds . I had my surgery April 24th. they also found a hurnia in my stomach that I had no idea I had.. they fixed it while they were in there. I also had my stomach folded , crazy weight loss.

I use whey 52 g protein 160 cal I use choc and vanilla I use non fat yogurt make smoothies for breakfast

how can I get this ?

I've noticed my stomach is rumbling a couple times a day, I'm sure I can use a little fill my self I'm post-op surgery was the 24th of April...I'm nervous about the fill. My port is very sore ,I get my fill May 22nd.. I sure get cold more often now that the weight is coming off....23 pounds down

I'm scared , don't want that to happen to me, I will be chewing for a long time.
