"i started phentermine  6 days ago. the first 2 days, i felt like i was in a fog. by the third day, the feeling passed. my starting weight was 273. my weight today is 266. over easter, i never had the urge to indulge in candy, or desserts! 10 years ago i had lap band surgery, and lost over 80 lbs. since that time, i have regained about 40lbs. this medication is exactly what i need to jump start my weight loss. it suppresses  the feelings to over eat, or binge eat."
