"i have been taking belviq for 39 days and i am down 18 pounds. i am just plain not hungry and when i eat my meals, i am full much faster. i have forced myself not to eat cookies or pastries and after the first week, i have no desire for them at all. i eat kind bars and a banana for lunch (sometimes a low fat cheese stick). if i am hungry,   i may eat my banana midday.  i eat a regular dinner, just smaller amounts and absolutely no fast food.  if i work a long day and i am tired, we will have subway for dinner.  i hope this continues on the right path for me...fingers crossed."
