Hi i'm almost 5 months out and have only lost 25 pounds the weight goes nowhere...... was wondering if anybody has done adipex while haveing the band? thinking of trying it not only for weight loss but for engery also..oh yea im also 8.5cc in my 11cc band dont know if this was really for me......please help shannon:rolleyes:

do you exercise at all?

yes i walk everyday and i do the wii fit ....i can only eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food and i dont drink with my food so im not sure.....

My doc wants me to work on making the changes that I need to in my life post-op and down the road can look into using other drugs to help with the weight loss down the road.

I would stay away from the so called "Diet Pills" No offense but these guys have made billions with a so called pill that has not scientific study behind it. WHat some people have used and it is also mighty tasty if you ask me is the control bar, even melting mama did a review on it, they taste good and they are the only nutrition bar scientifically proven to curve appetite. Take a look here Good luck.

I think that you should evaluate what you're doing and how your band is working.

I would start back with something such as a 5 day pouch test, log all your food at dailyplate.com, and keep exercising.

Sometimes people are slow losers at the start and pick up later, some are fast losers then become slow losers like me, and som just lose slow overall.

It comes eventually. You have lost 25lbs. That's great and I am sure that if you stick with it you will see results.

How is the restriction? How's the Fluid intake overall? What foods do you eat?
