Diet Pills and the Band

[Esmeralda 2]

:help: I don't know if anyone read my post a few days back about having a hard time restarting my journey after having well I really thought about it and I have decided to go and try out my diet doctor that I did 2 years ago and lost 50 pounds on with a lot of work (which I gained a year later and then decided to do the surgery), I am going to try diet pills for a week or 2 just to get me started on the weight loss again. I feel weird about doing this but has anyone ever tried this??? Am I doing wrong???

I think it will help me not be as hungry while I get use to eating like a bandster again.:clap2:

Hi - I did need a boost to start the losing process again. Got stuck for a few months. Took Phentermine for about 6 weeks - completely under doctor's strict eye. I lost a few pounds and got my confidence back to get back on track. Doing great now.

That's what I am hoping, that it kicks start my weight loss again.

Thank you,

I am taking Meridia to help curb my appetite. It is working so far. I just have to remember to eat. LOL!!

Penni, have you had any bad side effects from the Meridia? Just wondering, because my primary put me on it back in January when I told her I was interested in the band because she doesn't believe in WLS. I was on it for about 6 or 7 weeks and was so miserable. I was lightheaded and nauseous, shaky, etc. all the time. I did lose weight, because it made me so nauseous I vomited constantly. She kept telling me to give it time and get used to it. I finally said the heck with that and took myself off of it. I felt better within two days.

I tried Merida ( not banded ) and it didn't work for me. It gave me the jitters and stuff though.
