Woooo scale is going down!



Recommended Posts

I was at the dr today for my 3rd of 6 insurance required visits! I am happy to say that I have dropped 5 pounds. I'm ready to get the surgery in about 3-4 months! I'm also going to try the phentermine. Anyone else tried this?

i was on phen for about 3 years. in the beginning it worked really well. i suggest taking it about 11:00 am unless it keeps you up at night. i needed to take it then for it to last me through the day and early evening. some people take it in the morning and cannot sleep at night. i suggest trying it early morning your first time to see how it affects you. after a good amount of time it seems the effectiveness wore out, however, now that i am 3 weeks post op i am no longer taking it. i have to admit, i miss it. it gave me the pep that i needed.

i will be happy to answer any questions you have about it.

great job on your weight loss!!!!

I did and didn't like the way it made me feel. That was years ago and I only took it for about two weeks, if that. It made me feel jittery.

      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.
