I have pictures of the success I had with phentermine. I loved it when it was working because it helped me stay motivated since my body was finally working with me. I lost a total of 75 pounds with it and even maintained for about 6 months after coming off. I tried several times after to go back on but it just wouldn't control my appetite. I did not have any jitteryness, but my normal heart rate is only 58-64 since they did radioactive iodine on my thyroid in 2004 - so it brought my HR up to 80's. I believe that people who experience heart palpatations and jitteryness are those who have a higher heart rate. I loved the energy though.
Like someone else said, it is a tool so use it well. I decided to get the band because I knew that if I had a tool - I would stay on track. Good luck to you and please keep us posted!

Day 6 and I had two puny attempts at a BM (sorry if tmi), one with fleets and one with phillips. Phillips never works for me right away buit will make me feel terrible for a day before any relief. Saw someone else that said she did coffee and it helped so I thought I would try...man did it, gone three times so far and feel great! Best of luck to all who are suffering in this area!

Hey all, thanks for asking how I am! I am doing well considering. Still have some gas pains and just a little around my incisions. Taking my pain meds every 4 hours and gas-x and walking and moving around as much as possible. Excited for it to be over and that I am on my way to recovery!

Yay!!! Just keep taking your medication. We are waiting for you on the losers' bench!
