Today is my 30 days.
SW:217
CW:198.6
GW:140-150

So, Ive lost 18 lbs this month on Phen, im sure that will start to lower. Today I start the phen/topomax, my hunger started creeping back to me. I have had trouble eating, so I bought slim fast to make sure im getting vitiamns and sugar. I had a few moments of feeling like I was going to pass out. So im making sure im eating. However im struggling with knowing when to stop! I start to eat and im like crap im hungry..stop...stop! Lol. So hopefully the topo will help.

P.s Always looking for support friends!

    Hi, I am new here, too. I am taking Phentermine when I get up and Topiramate 4 hours later. I have been on it a week and lost five pounds the first week. I did not notice any side effects, but I am concerned about becoming constipated, so am trying to really keep an eye on my fiber intake. My doctor increased my Phentermine by 1/2 a pill this week. I don't think so much to increase the weight loss, but to aid in the appetite/cravings feelings. I am also taking salt tablets - have you heard of that? I know a couple other people that are doing the salt, too - they swear by it for the cravings. Right now I am just open to see what happens, but keeping an eye on what is going on and paying attention to my body. I am logging my food on www.myfitnesspal.com. It is free and so far, I have not added one food manually - it is amazing. I hope to connect with you. Louise

    Hi
    Im new again to Phentermine, just started back on it this past monday and ive already lost 7lbs. This is not the 1st time Ive tried Phentermine. I first tried it about 2 years ago, in which I had great success. I lost about 80lbs in a year. but I guess I built up a tolerance to the medication even with 2-3 month breaks in between so I went off of it for a year and half and now im back on it. I have to admitt even being off of it for that long , I still dont get the same effects as when I very first tried it. It still curbs my appetite and helps with my cravings. I plan to use it 30 days then cycle off for a month then back on 30 and so on. Im hoping I can reach my ultimate goal weight with the help of it.

    My doctor had me start taking 2 of the Topiramates now, so I am taking 50mg 4 hrs after I take the Phen. Have you had any difficulties with constipation? I keep an eye on what I eat - generally get 30 grams of protein in first thing in the morning and then see how it goes the rest of the day. I had Gastric Bypass 5.5 years ago - lost 130 gained back 30, never got to goal...so getting back on track...thinking a few months...today I went to a nutrition class at the weight loss dr office and to a support group. Nice connecting - did not realize anyone had responded so I will watch better...I love this site for logging the food and love the bar code app!! Louise
