"i am providing an update:  i&#039;m on week 3 now of my pill.  in the beginning i was never hungry. never had a hunger pain, had to remind myself to eat.  after about 2 weeks, i noticed that i was having some hunger pains, like the feeling of being full wasn&#039;t lasting very long.  i&#039;ve also gained weight.  i started weight watchers - so i&#039;m not sure what weight loss is attributed to what. my first 2 weeks (which i wasn&#039;t on ww), i had only lost 2 pounds.  i&#039;m not going to lie, i am a tad disappointed. after reading some of the reviews, i was hoping to have lost more.  i&#039;m not giving up yet though - my dr said we have 3 months to give it a try.  the only side affects i have now are that i&#039;m cold, and i&#039;m constantly thirsty.  i&#039;ll post again in 2 weeks."
