Day 1- 1st visit to the bariatric clinic

[chunkymonkey]

Well this morning I had my first visit to the weight loss clinic. I had started taking Adipex 37.5 mg. On Sunday (these were some i had already) I was weighing 190.8lbs, when I went to the clinic this morning I was 183.4lbs.  I believe alot of that weight was water, b/c I stayed in the bathroom on monday.  Anyhow, my plans are to come back here after each of my visits and post my results, and how I felt.  For instance, today I got the B12 shot, energy, I did not get. As a matter of fact I have had a very bad headache today, that nothing has been able to relieve.  I am tired, and it is only 9:30pm and I am ready to turn in.  I am hoping that tomorrow will be better.  I will start the pills that the doctor gave me tomorrow (fastin 30mg), and my follow up appointment is on the 8th of March.  I will continue to come back here to give updates.  My goal it to get down to 150, wish me luck!!

My first appt is April 14th....all of these comments are wonderful!  

Is anyone taking ant-depressants?  Have you heard any comments good or bad about taking these meds together?

Has anyone been told a brand name of birth control that DOES NOT work?  I am 44 and single with a 14 year old boy and I certainly do not want more children!!

Hello,
I am trying to lose weight and thinking about going to the Barrriatric Clinic for help. I see several people have lost weight while taking Adipex and I need to know where can I get those. Can I order them or does  the barriatric clinic provide them?

Hello All,
I started taking Adipex 37.5 in June, weighed 225. I have been back to the doc. every month . In Nov. I weighed 180. The only real diet , i went by , was No soft drinks, eat your meat first and make meat 50% of your meal, then eat your veges, then your fruit, and make your fruit be in place of your dessert. That away no BIG pieces of cake...lol.....I do splurge every once in a while.... but while the mirror doesnt lie,,, I feel so good about my self now...... I have went down from a 18 in jean to a 12....... Please , anyone who does this, eat.... you have to eat to be healthy...... and it takes time... everyone is different... so everyone will progress differently, just live day by day , and be happy , love yourself, and it will come........
