"i am about to be on week 2 of contrave. i have cut out all caffeinated beverages and sticking to a low fat/low cal diet and i am down 6 pounds! the first day was complete torture due to the nausea, headache and vertigo but i am determined to not quit and be successful at this! i want to be able to feel as though i can do anything, go anywhere and not have my weight dictate my path in life. i am 5ft 9 and weighed 262 and again on day 7, i am at 257! just waiting on my scale now! good luck everyone and don&#039;t get discouraged!!"
