I stayed on mine....it helped with energy when I started my clear liquid diet. If your Dr says you can, I would continue taking them until they tell you to stop, usually up til surgery.....depending on your Dr. I was sleeved 9/14/16....haven't taken any since surgery but I'm also off work so a mass amount of energy isn't top priority yet lol but once I get back up and on my feet I will finish my rx to help with the gym but after that I'll quit. Good luck to you!

That's good to know. I'm planning on staying on mine until the doctor tells me to stop taking them. :-)
I was told to stop mine 10 days before surgery, which my surgery is Feb 6th and I mean I only have 4 pills left which is spot on 10 days before having my pre-op appointment on the 31st and when i scheduled my surgery dr told i had to lose 10 before the day of if not it will get postponed. I am -12lbs and I fear so much getting off phentermine and end up gaining anything before pre-op and final weigh in surgery date I hear you can gain weight back from stopping phentermine.
any tips?
