Yeah, I started the shot on 1/6/2010 and the following day after that doctor visit, I started taking Phentermine. The doctor's office told me to take the pill before 9 AM each day day.
Last night I found it hard to fall asleep. That was the only thing I really noticed. I used to live on Coke, Pepsi and Mountain Dew every single day. Every time I would try to stop drinking those things, I would get massive headaches. I haven't had a soda since the 6th and today is the 10th and I haven't had a single headache. I'm wondering if that Lipotropics injection helps with that or not. Our doctor takes the Lipotropic shots himself and said he's been doing it for the past 5 years. Even if you're not trying to lose weight, the shots are good for you.
Me and my wife went to the store and bought $200 worth of nothing but healthy food. No junk food, soda's, candies or snacks. I bought all Lean Cuisines and Smart One's. We bought Arnold wheat bread and sweet potatoes instead of white bread and regular potatoes that we normally buy.
For breakfast I'll have a small bowl of cereal between 8 and 9. At 10 I'll have some EAS protein drink (120 calories) that the weight doctor recommended. The paperwork he gave us said that the protein drinks help with metabolism.
At around 12 or 1 I'll have one of those Lean Cuisines. Between 2 and 3 I'll try to have another EAS protein shake or a banana. Then between 5 and 6 I'll have another Lean Cuisine.
I'm lucky to eat 800-1000 calories per day now that I'm not eating at Carrabbas, Olive Garden and other Italian restaurants that we used to frequent.
I uploaded a few photos of myself showing my current weight. I am hoping to keep the Phentermine regiment going and have better pictures in the next 3 or 4 months from now the way other people have.
When I went to the doctor's and got on their scale and saw 341, I was in shock. That is an alarming number. We were no real position to afford the costs to do this, but the cost of treating diabetes will be a lot more.
