Today was my first day on Bontril. I am not sure what to expect...I hope it will be an increase in the weight loss. I have been taking Adipex since August of 2004 and have lost 35lbs. The doctor finally decided to give me the Bontril prescription. So we will see how it turns out. The doctor started to give me Bontril a few months back but back out after other patients had claimed it did not work for them. I was completely shocked that he finally switched me over.
I am 36 and currently weigh 320lbs. My weight started creeping up on me as a teen but back then my highest weight was 175lbs. My 5 ft 10 inch height keeps me from looking like I weigh as much as I do. When I got preggers with my first child I gained a whopping 70 lbs. The doctors said it was due to my body thought I was having twins...I had 2 sacks and one was nothing but fluid. So after I had my son I was unable to lose weight like I thought I would. I was still over 260lbs when I got preggers with my daughter 10 yrs later. So with her I gained around 30 or 40 lbs. During that time my weight has not gone down much. Then my husband got sick and my weight bloomed to 355lbs. That is where I was when my husband passed away in 2004. So I went to the doctors and ask for help. The 35lbs weight loss made a nice difference and made me want to lose more. Then when the Adipex stopped working I got discouraged. Others around me were dropping weight like crazy on it and here I was stuck. To start the weight loss again I stopped the pills for 2 or 3 days so many times a month. This caused my body to pick back up and start losing again, but it was short lived. So now I start again with Bontril. Wish me luck and I will keep you posted.
