Phentrimine vs contrave??



Recommended Posts

I took Contrave. The dose is 2 pills twice daily but I only took 1 twice a day. It worked great, I had no side effects. I lost 30 pounds. It is very expensive though. My insurance didn't cover, with the manufacturer drug card it is $92 for a bottle of 120.

Considering drugs is what led me down the WLS path. The side effects can be pretty bad, but I was desperate. I decided on the VSG because I know once you stop taking the drugs, the hunger comes back.

Now that I've had VSG, I guess the same thing applies. I still want the bad stuff, and I can still ruin my progress. ?

I previously did Phentermine and it worked in conjunction with a hcg and B12 shot. I lost 50 lbs but the one side effect i had was memory loss and i had to stay on top of it by always working my brain muscle.

I took Contrave before surgery but it didn't work for me.

I took both. Phentermine put me in afib and the other made me sick.

I took Contrave and it worked great. Unfortunately it had a negative effect on my periods so I had to stop taking it and the weight came back in the blink of an eye. I also tried phentermine, but it made my heart beat so fast that I couldn't keep taking it. I have had great results with my vsg and no negative side effects or drugs in my system. Win-win.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
