"i started taking contrave on 4/20. my starting weight was 276, i am now down to 262. at first i didn&#039;t change my diet and continued to eat fried foods. i quickly realized that was a bad idea as it made me quite nauseated. my appetite is greatly decreased. my b/f bought me a big pack of reese peanut butter cups, they stayed in the freezer for 3 days, which is groundbreaking because normally i would have eaten all four right then and there. it wasn&#039;t only my restraint, but that i actually didn&#039;t crave them or have a desire to eat chocolate at all. i am a choco-holic, and i have never dismissed chocolate in my life. i have not even reached the full dosage yet, but i feel that it is working very well."
