"i am 54 and weigh 211, never been so heavy!  if only i was 6 foot tall vs 5&#039;5&quot; wouldn&#039;t be quite so discouraging. 
second day on meds. no nausea, although i took 1/2 of a dramamine with the 1 contrave yesterday and took it with two saltines this morning.  feel a bit sluggish and a bit of a fog but that&#039;s it thus far. see what the next 5 days brings, so far so good. hope it works and that i will exercise and watch what i eat. good luck to all, it is an uphill battle worth fighting."
