"so this is my second week in contrave take one tablet twice daily. when i started this drug i was 170 pounds. i weighed my self this morning and i was at 167. so about 3 pounds this first week. thankfully i have not experienced insomnia yet but i have been nauseous. i can only eat once a day and if i eat more than that i end up puking it back up so there isn&#039;t a point in me trying to eat more than that. i&#039;m hoping that i am able to start exercising soon because i have not been able to do so due to a torn tendon in my ankle."
