Has anyone been perscribed this on their six month or from their pcp?

I was and have never been keen on taking any kind of pills other than Vitamins. I took them for a few day and seemed a little off. Thought I should finish them off up until my 14 day pre-op diet to see if I can even lose a few before then.

Also if you took them. For how long and did you lose anything?

I took that about 7 years ago and it helped me lose about 50 lbs but the side effects were uncomfortable. And if I knew then what I do now, I wouldn't have taken it. It's not good for your heart. Most docs wont prescribe it. And don't get it online! You can't guarantee it's not just Tylenol or sugar pils!

I took meridia a few years back and it worked great - lol I could not eat anything. Insurance stopped covering it and price went to $90 a bottle per month. Most of the time, these medications always end up on the recall list. :(

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
