It's almost September!!!

WELL people, only 1 week!! Just 7 more days and I get to see my PCP and START!! WOW, I know I've been working on this since March... and I swear that in March I thought to myself that I would NEVER make it if I had to wait 6 months to start... well it's been 6 months now... and I'm here, and the wait didn't kill me!! I'm amazed at the changes in myself, both personally and size wise. I am still wearing the same clothes, but only because they are drawstring pants, and knit shirts... and now they are literally falling down on me... and I have lost almost 30 lbs. I stopped losing for a while, the phentermine is just too expensive and I get downright hungry without it... but when I go to the doc on Sept 1st (next Thurs) I plan on asking the PCP to prescribe it for me. I am so excited to finally be getting started with my appointments!!

Kat, HOOOORRAYYYYYY!! I'm at the end of my 6 months also. Did you ever think time would past so fast? Are you excited/scared/happy/terrified/hungry/full all at the same time? I am! Please keep us posted on your doctor visit. Take care. Soon we will (hopefully) get to join the losers club. bridget

Hi Kat, I know what you mean about the phenteramine, Xenical is up to about 190.00 now. With the phenteramine, I wake up at 2 in the morning, and can't get back to sleep. Think I might get a script for it though, I need to start losing before I meet with my surgeon in Sept.

Have you tried taking half? or trying benadryl to help you sleep? The thing most docs don't tell you is the phentermine works for 12 hrs... so don't take it if you plan on sleeping within 12 hrs. Kat
