"i started my journey on august the 10th it has been almost two weeks since being prescribed this medication and i have nothing but great things to say about it! i have lost an additional 4 lbs since my first weigh in at 208 on august 9th. even the few side effects that i have are totally worth it. i almost immediately get dry mouth not long after taking the pill but i am consuming at least 64 oz of water daily that is good! previously i would choose other things no so great for me. slight constipation although it could be my vitamin, i can deal with that. i am extremely energized. i am eating way less but do try to stay conscious of making sure to nibble throughout the day. my diet is normal i eat what i want but stay under 1800 calories."
