Is anyone taking Phentermine / Adipex



Recommended Posts

I was very hungry at my 1 week checkup post surgery so my doctor put me on Phentermine.

I lost 28lbs in 4 weeks. It is awesome. He will stop me after a fill but I am so worried that I gain weight back or just plateau.

Also, would they give me a fill even though I lost so much before my 1st one? Did you have any experience in dealing with Phentermine?

It always worked for me before but then after I stop it I would gain all the weight back. I am just worried.

Any input?

About 5 years ago I tried adipex. I only lost about 20 lbs and eventually gained the weight back. You may experience a plateau at first but i'm sure you will do just fine once you start to get your fills and get to your "sweet spot".

I wish I had some to curb my seemingly monstrous appetite cry_smile.gif I dont think you'll gain unless you havent hit your sweet spot and even then it probably wont be the whole 28 you lost. I dont know about Dr withholding the fill, it seems like each surgeon has his own rules...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
