"i started contrave in december 2015 and lost 42 pounds (200 - 158).  the first 3-4 weeks i experienced intense neasea and headaches, but they were gone after a while.  i lost 14 pounds in the first month - i used the loseit app on my phone and tracked my calories, but it was pretty easy to not eat much because of the nausea.  apples - i ate a lot of them.  it helped me when i had nausea.  

i&#039;ve gone from a size 18 to a 12 and i look and feel so much better. i haven&#039;t started exercising, but i will do that while continuing to use the loseit app - hoping that my tummy will tone up some while i aim to lose 8 more pounds.  



for the past 3 months, i have kept my weight steady and am ready to come off the medicine and see what it does."
