Have you had WLS? If so, you shouldn't need diet pills. If you go back to the basics, you should be able to start losing again. I took phentermine before I had WLS and it did work until my body got used to the medicine but that takes 6 months or so. It's pretty effective the first few months.

What an inspirational article to start my week off.

I got to give it up to my surgery team. Their goal is that a patient is never surprised by anything. I was required to go through an 8 week skills class prior to surgery. It was 2 hours per week and the psychiatrist covered things like emotional eating and the dietitian covered the long term eating program. The Director went over exercise. I am only a month out from surgery so I may still be surprised by something down the road but so far it's what I expected. They also have an advanced skills class for post op people that continues the education and I've been attending. I figure I may as well take all the help they are willing to give.
