"i am a food addict. the first day i took contrave, i lost desire to eat. cravings no longer consume me. the feeling of fullness occurs now, and lingers for hours. i am only on day 3, but i hope this continues. logging foods on fitness pal helps. no snacks, and 3 healthy meals a day. i don&#039;t feel hungary at all. it is wonderful. i was considering gastric bypass, this was going to be my last attempt. if i continue to feel this way, i won&#039;t need surgery."
