"started taking 12 days ago, starting weight of 256.6lb &amp; today 250.0lb. side effects: increased energy which i absolutely love,  suppressed appetite which is good,  dry mouth which means i drink a lot of water which also is good.  considering i struggled with drinking enough water daily, this changed that.  i still get hungry, but only 2-3 times a day,  once i start to eat i&#039;m full very quickly. a simple snack like fruit or raw veggies quickly takes the hunger away.  i eat a sensible dinner with the family.  i&#039;ve completely lost interest in soda &amp; sweets. i do take a multivitamin. stay smart, watch what you know you should be eating,  exercise &amp; live healthy. you can do it, this helps."
