"this medication so far has been working quite well for me. i just finished my first 2 week dose today and i am down 16 pounds. the first week felt like i was starving with the diet the nutritionist had put me on , but into the second week that faded away and i was satisfied with my smaller portions. i had less interest in food and felt fuller faster. tomorrow i will begin the the next dose up of the medication and i am looking forward to seeing how much weigh loss is in store for me. i was told by the doctor today that the medicine is designed to help you lose 5 percent of your total weight loss. so my next visit with her she expects another 10 pounds which will put me at 26 pounds in 6 weeks that is more than what she originally expected"
