Back on Phen & Guess What I Did!!!
Hello all! I'm back on Phen again........finally! I was on Phen about a year ago for a couple of months but went off of it because I was having knee problems (unrelated to Phen) and eventually ended up having to have surgery.
To make a long story short on the knee: Surgery was 4 weeks ago & they removed part of my meniscus (sp?) & scraped out the back side of my knee cap (fraying & it will eventually have to be replaced but I'm too young they say). Othropedic surgeon doesn't want me on my knee because it will wear down more quickly.
I told my othro. & family Dr. staying off the knee wouldn't work ~ HELLO I'm big enough as it is ~ and asked to be put back on Phen & allowed to exercise. My thought is: yes the knee will take a bigger beating now, but in the long run losing the weight will help more. So, my family Dr. put me back on Phen. I had to spend 2 weeks getting used to the medication again before he wanted me to exercise & I did that.
Drumroll Please.................I started walking on Sunday & I walked 3 miles!!!!! I did it on Monday too!!! I was so proud of myself! Yes, my knee hurt BAD, along w/ every other muscle in my body BUT I'm pushing thru. I have rearranged my schedule & I should be able to walk 5 days per week so I will definately be taking Phen seriously this time thru & I've already lost 14 pounds!!!!!
