adipex

have anyone take adipex to help with reaching goal after surgery?

Weight loss after weight loss surgery is already very fast......why in the world would you want to take a drug to make it faster?  We did not get as fat as we are/were in the timeframe it will take us to lose all the weight with WLS.......this is a marathon...not a sprint.

I know folks have asked about it to help with regain.  It is a drug-why introduce a drug to help when you already have the most powerful tool..........weight loss surgery.  I DO NOT advocate taking any drug to assist in weight loss EVER.....as YEARS AND YEARS of history have proven:  they are dangerous and the weight loss TEMPORARY.

Good old fashioned "eating less than you burn" consistently works forever.

What Kim said.  Diet pills are dangerous and won't help you the least little bit in the long run. Use the restriction of your pouch, move your body, and make good food choices. If you do that, you won't need the diet pills.

I took adipex many, many years ago when I was 20ish.  I lost 20 lbs in three months.  It worked like a dream.  I did not change my eating habits - they changed on their own.  I had cotton mouth - horrible side effect of the drug but I drank tons of water every day because of it.  I also developed insomnia and when I would wake up at 3am I would have energy and one night cleaned out my baby brothers bedroom.  By three months though my body became immune to the drug and it stopped working.  I was tempted to double my dose but my doctor had forewarned me that this would happen and he said "do not take more then the prescribed dose".  I was scared so I didn't take more but I did stop losing weight and at some point ganed it all back.

I have always been a firm believer in medicinal help with weight loss and have been seriously considering taking something to give me a little boost to get the scale moving in the right direction again.  I have been holding off, but its a daily struggle for me.  I'm just afraid resuming one bad habit will lead to picking back more bad habits.  My dr. says physical health wise it would be fine as long as I do three months on and 2 months off, but mental health wise for me its like playing with a loaded gun. 

then don't do it stay a way you can do it!

how is everything going with you!

no what is that?

It is a name brand of a phentermine formulation, which is basically just speed (an amphetamine) and can be dangerous and addictive.
