Hi. I am new to this site. I was sleeved about 3 1/2 years ago. I have done pretty well keeping my weight off that I did lose, with the exception of about 5-10 pounds. I will take it off and gain it back....yoyo!! I just started Contrave yesterday. Have any pf you had any luck with this drug? Thank you

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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
