I lost 22 lbs with it in a year. I never had that blissful feeling from eating. Or drinking, I never once even had a buzz from a drink. But it also killed my sex drive.

Once I stopped, the weight came back, and now I'm pre op. But I do think it permanently rewired some of the food /reward centers in my brain.

I lost 10lbs in one month but was nauseous and light headed. I couldn't continue with it even if I took anti nausea medicine.

Thank you for the replies! Have any of you tried this drug after having the sleeve? I just would love to find something to helpget me to or closer to my goal weight. I have taken it for two days and do find that it is curbing my appetite. I wondered about the sex drive? I am also hoping it will help with the craving for certain foods.

Yes this was after my sleeve. I couldn't tolerate the Contrave.

@Clabaume.. thank you. If you don't mind me asking how far out are you from receiving your sleeve?

I'll be 2 years out October 29th

it made me very sick, couldn't keep anything down. Also made me constipated. I lost 5 lbs in 2 months. I did have success with Nutrisystem, 12 lbs in 2 months, before surgery. I have a friend who works for Jenny Craig and she says their meals are fine for bariatric patients but I'd defer to my surgeon on that.
