I was wondering,is this something that you get from the band doctor or your regular physician? What are the brand names? I remember taking Tenuate and Ionamin years ago but don't know if they were phentermine.

I took phentermine in the past as well. I will never do that again. They made me very jittery, irritable, my heart was constantly racing and my mouth was always feeling like it was full of cotton. Meridia did the same thing to me. No thank you, that is why I have the band, to live my life without diet pills and dieting.

Hi Susan I totally agree with you. The phentermine did the same thing to me and I will never go there again as well. I had gotten the band to get away from all that diet stuff as well and it feels real good to finally be off all that stuff.

I did take Phentermine for 3 weeks to get off of a plateau... I got off of it and ALL the weight came back on! The Dr. had told me that Phentermine + the band was safe, no weight gain when you get off of it but I put mine back on. 6lbs off in 3 weeks and then only 5 days to put all 6lbs back on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
