I haven't been one to post much about stalls. I knew it would be a common part of my progress. I have been a slow loser all along. It took me about 3 months to lose my first 20 lbs post op and my average when I was losing was about a 5 lbs loss a month. But here I am over a year out, 80 lbs down, (including some loss pre op) but I have been stalled since May. I had a check up with my surgeon yesterday. He put me on Adipex for a short time to get my weight moving down again. Has anyone taken Adipex post op? I would love to hear about your experiences. I have really increased my exercise this summer and I did relate that the more I exercise the hungrier I feel. I have never taken diet pills of any kind. I feel frustrated because I never wanted to take pills and I felt the sleeve was a healthier option for me, but here I am getting ready to take them anyway. I will share how it goes for me. I know we all fear weight regain and not reaching our goal weight. I wonder if anybody else has had their doctor bring up diet pills after surgery? I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

i would say a personal trainer will help you more in the long run than a diet drug. the drug might help suppress your appetite, but its actually going to slow your metabolism more, leading eventually to less weight loss.

Great recommendation!

I decided this drug is not for me. I dont want to just set myself up for regaining the weight which is what I fear would happen even if it did help me lose weight initially. Thanks for the input guys!
