"i began my weight loss journey with contrave on 4-10-2015 after being prescribed by my pcp. i went for my follow-up appointment today 4-20-2015 and i have not lost weight which is currently at 178lbs. i&#039;m now on my 2 pills a day and it has definitely been a difference in my cravings and hunger feelings. i&#039;m able to say no even though the foods look and smell good. however my 1st 7 days i was still hungry and craving sweets but no bad side effects thus far, other than being bloated and gassy. my doctor stated everyone doesn&#039;t initially lose weight within the first 10 days but there are some that do. i&#039;m hoping i will see results soon trying to stay positive and continue to workout and watch my calorie intake."
