I am losing weight using phendametrazine,fat burners and lipo injections

by Pam 2006, Nov 10, 2006 12:00AM
I have been on a medical weight loss program with a doctor for 4 weeks now using Phendametrazine,70 mg 3 times a day, Fat burners, B-12 and B-6 injections, CLA and Calcium Pyruvate.I also take a multivitamin and chromium. I have lost 16 pounds and a lot of inches.  I have 16 more to go. The only complaint is that I feel chilled all the time. I was wondering if anyone has the came symptoms? Is it due to a lot of weight loss?



Otherwise, I am on the road to being the person that I use to be.

I cannot tell you how this has changed my life. I am out of menopause and my metabolism was very sluggish.



Going to a weight loss doctor may be expensive,  but it is well worth it to me.

I will be happy to help in any way that I can my experience with using these products.

If you are not seeing a doctor for this kind of weight loss, you should be.  You need to be monitored and have your blood pressure checked once a week as high blood pressure can be a problem using phendametrazine or phentermine. Also drink a lot of water as you can get constipated with these drugs.



Thank you for allowing me to post.

I forgot, I am seeing a doctor in Tampa Florida.

Glorymedicalcenter.com  Dr David Ikudayisi.



He and his staff are wonderful!

CLA is Conjugated Linolic Acid.

I take Tonalin CLA. Please look it up on the Tonalin CLA web site.

It is proven to burn abdominal fat.

My doctor has me on this, 2 gel caps twice a day.

I am now down to 17 pounds as of my weigh in this morning.



Hope this helps!

Having a hot flash as I type this.  Thank you for sharing your experience.  I am in perimenopause and it is good to know that this program can help once I hit menopause.  I wanted to ask if your Dr tested your cholesterol levels.  Mine did and they suddenly shot up.  I went back to my gyno and had them rechecked.  Turns out this happens to women quite often when your estrogen levels drop.  This is why women have higher risk of heart disease after menopause.  I just wanted to pass this on in case you have not had this checked.



Mine were borderline high but they have always been low.  I will keep monotoring during this phase.  I hope I don't have to get on medication.  I already exercise and eat healthy.



Good luck to you and thanks for the tips.



Love

Rosa,

Thank you for posting.

Actually, losing weight helps your cholesterol levels.

The CLA, Fat burners,Calcium Pyruvate and Nutri Lean (I forgot to mention that i take this also) help with cholesterol levels.



I had a hysterectomy in 1991. Not a total one tho.

Last year I started having symptoms of menopause and lo and behold my doctor tested my levels and I was already post menopausal. I am 49.

it is hard to keep weight off when you are menopausal because your metabolism slows down.  My doctor said mine was very low.



I lost 2 pounds the first week of the diet , then 4 pounds every week ever since.  I lose the most weight right after my shot of B-12, B-6 and amino acids. I eat 800 to 1000 calories a day, drink 1/2 to 1 gallon of water a day and take my diet pills.

I have been so grateful for the opportunity to get on this diet and to be able to afford the diet.

I cannot tell you how I feel just knowing that it worked for me. I can look in the mirror again and feel good about my self.  And my husband likes it too.

Let me know if you choose to go on the diet. Best thing I ever did for myself.

Blessings!

I am on the Low GI diet as well as on the phentermine and shots.  However I could not take the full phentermine and even on the half dosage I was not able to sleep. So I just got a script for something else which is supposed to suppress my appetite. I am doing the shots every other week.  It's a 2 week dosage and the cost is $30.  I have not noticed it making me lose more weight but my friend that referred me to this weightloss clinic said it boosted her weight loss.  But she had much more to lose.  She has lost 40 pounds so far in 3.5 months.



I started at 140 and my goal is 120.  I have lost 10 pounds.



I am 47 for one more week.  I have tried to lose weight all of last year and I did my highest was 150.  It took me 8 months to lose 10 pounds! I was walking and really watching what I ate but not on a full blown diet like this. Then I had lipo for my inner thighs and abs.  That with dieting I went down to 130 but then I gained 10 back.  I keep coming down to 130 but I can't get past that.



Hopefully I will this time.

What other appetite suppressant did he give you?

I couldn't take the full Phentermine.  I am taking Phendametrazine. Hardly any side effects in the beginning.  Now, I don't even know that I take it.

The Tonalin CLA and Calcium Pyruvate, you can buy at GNC. Search the web for info on these.  These can be helpful in losing weight as they burn fat. Chromium is also good.



I know how you must feel not losing in the past. I  was ready to give up on losing weight but when I saw a recent picture of myself, that was it. I was determined to lose. If this doctor couldn't help me, then I would have to live with it.  But, it works and is still working.  I have 15 pounds to lose then I will be at my goal. I have lost 17 in a little over 4 weeks.



Keep me posted!

Hello Pam, I finally got my script.  It was for Tenuate 25mg.

I take one before lunch and one in the afternoon.



So far I don't feel much of an appetite suppressant in it.



But we shall see.  I am back on my diet after a weekend of breaking it.



Good luck to you.



Love

Rosalinda

hi pam, im also from the tampa area...where is your doctor located and what is the cost of the program. i have heard of a few clinics but was worried because id never heard of success stories.way to go on your success!

by nurse2minister, Nov 22, 2006 12:00AM
I am on a similar program through Dr. J Garcias clinic off of Dale Mabry.  It is my first week I lost 11.4 lbs.  I wish I had known about your doctor off of waters.  It is much less expensive.  The office staff and doctors I have met with at Dr. Garcias office are super nice, but today, my appt took me right at a hour and half to get in and out of the office.  It looks like the regiment at your doctors office is the same as mine.  Who knows maybe I will switch.

Hi Rosa



I am also taking Tenuate.  From our local pharmact I got the 25 mg ( they won't be getting any more in).  On the internet I can only find the 75mg.  as it is some days I don't take anything other than the HCG, some days I take 1 25mg Tenuate and sometimes I have taken 2.  But that still does not add up to 75mg.  I have read that you are not to cut these pills in 1/2 as they are time released and cutting them in 1/2 may give you too much at once and not last or you may take the part that will not work for 2,3 or 4 hours.  



To make a long stoy short could you give me the name of the pharmacy I could get the 25mg. Tenuate, I can even send a prescription.
