Hi I just got back on MFP and just started taking phentermine on the 4th of Feb. Now I'm looking for some people to go on this journey with!

Feel free to add me also!!! I just started back on MFP. I've been on phentermine for about 8 weeks now.0

I just started using Phentermine yesterday, April 21, and would love to have some friends going through the same thing!!1

I am on week 5, if you'd like to add me! I would love to share food diaries & successes!1

First time on phentermine, day two. Starting on half of 37.5 and working up to full dose. I have not used pharmaceutical dieting supplements but was at the point where I realized I needed a little help to get things going this time around. How's everyone doing on it? Feel free to add! I'm trying to be more active on my profile2

Down 20lbs in a month (I have A LOT to use). I was nervous about it, too, but I really trust my doctor. It's been really empowering to me. I still do the work, but it's a huge help. No side effects except dry mouth and thirst. I can even drink coffee and not get the jitters!
I hope it works out well for you. Sent you a friend request.0 -
I just started my second month with the phentermine. I am down 18 pounds as of yesterday. Feel free to add me for diary sharing and support!2

I would love to have some friends. I just started it a week ago, and I have lost 6 pounds. It makes me a bit nervous, so I am trying to do everything to make sure I am prepared for the challenges of being off of it.1

I had a 6.5lb loss in the first few days. Phen really takes the water out of you, so be careful! I am drinking water constantly! Congrats on your loss so far, and don't worry, you can do this!
Friend request on the way!0 -
I haven't heard that it takes the water out of you. I struggled with drinking water before, but I've definitely done better while on Phen! Usually at least 8 glasses. Good to know! Friend request accepted. Thank you!1

Yeah. I found the dry mouth hit a few days in, that was the first clue after the huge initial loss. I had surgery on April 27th and I had to stop drinking water at midnight. I'd been on 24 days at that point. At 8am the next morning I was so dehydrated you could see it in my skin and they had a hard time with my veins!! Nurse said "yeah, Phentermine." I was pretty bad with water, but on Phen I'm at least a cup an hour, sometimes more, and even drinking from my bedside throughout the night!

I am up for some new Phen friends. I do share my diary w/friends & would like to get ideas from others diaries too as I know that I will get bored w/what I am currently eating.
Today is day 4 for me on Phen. So far so good, but I am concerned about the weekend as we usually eat out & I work in a salon so when I do get a chance to eat it's something quick & sometimes I don't get a chance to eat, but I have discovered w/Phen that I have to eat every 2hrs, even if it's just nuts or something or I feel funky. I have back to back appointments on Saturday so I am a bit concerned as it will be a 12hr day w/no breaks.1 -
I would pack lots of snacks. If I'm not prepared, that's when I tend to make bad choices.
Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of water! 12 hours is quite a day! I make sure I try and eat stuff I would normally eat with my family, just in moderation. This will hopefully make it easier to keep off the weight. 2 -
Hello ladies, my doctor started me on Phentermine 15 mg on Monday. Current weight is 164 goal weight is 135.
Dr. said to take a pill at 9am after I ate breakfast but I was reading other articles that said to take the pill before breakfast. How do you guys take the pill? Did you also get a b12 and a lipo shot too?
Thank you MFP community.0 -
Hi! Not b12 or shot. I was told to break the Phen in half. I take half at 9:30 and half at 2:30.0

No shots. Lipo shots aren't really going to do a lot, and the b-12 is only useful if you're deficient. I take a whole pill in the morning before breakfast.0 -
I get a B12 every two weeks.0
-
Whole pill in a.m. at least 1/2 hr before eating

Hi all. I started taking Phentermine on July 12th. Had very good success with it many years ago but completely stopped eating right and I regained all the weight plus more. Looking for support since most of MFP hates on this drug.1
