ADIPEX after sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

Hey all. I had the sleeve in September 2013. The most I lost is 75lbs. I have regained about 15. I asked my family doc to prescribe me adipex to get things going in the right direction. Thoughts?

Why?

You don't give any info about what you are doing.

Are you getting in all your Protein and Water every day? Are you exercising?

Seems to me that going back to basics would be more effective and healthier.

Why not make an appointment with your NUT and revisit your goals.

I've lost on adipex several times, it works great ( pre sleeve). The problem is that it ALWAYS comes back. If it came back with sleeve, it will with meds. However, I totally get why you'd want to try it again. It could help get the 15 back off and maybe 'reset' your habits. Hopefully that is the case if you do it. If you do, here's a tip I leaned that made my meds go further, especially since you're smaller now. Break your pill in half and take half a pill along with a Women's One A Day Weight Smart Vitamin. You'll feel the appetite control with less jittery side effects. Good luck.

I've taken adipex time and time and time again and like mandyctr said it always comes back so I feel that its useless if u can exercise without it do it that way instead

My suggestion is to go back to the basics that you used in the first few weeks after surgery. Changing our eating habits and controlling our cravings for foods off the approval list is a learned behavior. Using adipex isn't changing one's behavior.

Reset your mind and body without drugs.

Exercise 30 minutes every day.

Limit your caloric intake during the reset period to 550-850 calories a day.

Start with two Protein Meal Replacement shakes a day and one meal of 3-4 ounces of Protein from something that had a mother.

Eliminate dairy during reset

Eliminate extra carbs.

Don't cheat. No alcohol. Reduce cheese consumption.

Drink 64+ ounces of Water a day.

Eat at the same time each day and schedule meals about 4-5 hours apart.

Consume at least 60 grams of protein a day.

Use a kitchen scale and weigh all protein after cooking.

Eliminate fruit during reset.

Avoid caffeine.

      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.
