Help! eating like im crazy.

[valsdetermined2lose]

ok , something is wrong , ive been extremly tired , i cant manage to get up early enough to excercise for the last week or so. Ive even been late to work a few times because of this. My appititte has increase so much , im hungry all the time. Im on 37.5 adipex daily in the morning half hour before i eat breakfast. I even got on the scale just to see what it says and it says 10 pounds that ive gained in 1 week, is this so , could it be true?

I dont know what to do....

sorry to hear that.

how many hours of sleep are you getting per night?

hmm...do you take a multivitamin?

because i know its tough for me to get in all my nutrients, so the multivitamin does give me a little assistance.

how much water have you been drinking?

do you have a rough idea how much sodium you have been taking in?

are you having discomfort or swelling in your ankles, legs or any part of your body? like if you press down on for instance your leg with your index and middle finger (not hard) does it leave a temporary imprint? if so...you may have edema and go see your dr. post haste.

the 10 lb gain...in one week, i'm willing to wager a fair amount of it..if not all of it is water because that means you would have to create a 35,000 calorie surplus (not counting the number of calories you would need to maintain your weight).

not to get in your business...are you expecting your period? or count back to your last period if you are in a potential for child-bearing situation (i was trying to find a good way to say it...). Because you know this weight loss does prompt visits from the stork.

Thanks for the reply, i have been drinking maybe 10 glasses of water a day , no swelling though because i do take a water pill theat helps with that. I'm not taking any vitamins right now but i believe i need to get some kind of vitamin. The period thing, hmmmmmm? thats a good one , even though never thought of expecting , Hope Not! LOL , but anyway , i recently stopped all birth control per my doctor to get my cycles regulated once again. So for the last one , it was diffrent it lasted 10 days on and off, extremly bloated and sore boobs. (sorry tmi)
Maybe i"ll do a pregnacy test just to make sure that im not expecting.
I'll keep you posted and thanks for the advice

I found that for me taking my phen a half hour before I eat does not work for me. I will still be starving through out the day. I recently started to take it diff. I get up eat breakfast then wait 2-3 hours and take my phen and then wait an hour before eating lunch. It seems to keep me fuller longer also so that way at night im not starving. Or try and take it and wait at least an hour before eating. Also make sure your taking it with alot of water. this tends to help me. Best of luck

Hi to all
I love to drink at least a couple glasses of Liptons Diet Green Tea it comes in 2flavors, citrus and white raspberry. Both are good. It makes me feel like it flushes out toxins. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Sorry to hear that.

Have you been exercising with weights lately? It could be muscle.

My dr recommends that if you take your phen first thing in the morning, you need to dring lots of water and wait one hour before you eat and if you eat first, you need to wait two hours before you eat. Your stomach should be empty and you should drink a lot of water.

I find that when I don't follow this pattern, I'm hungry all day and if I don't get enough water - I'm also hungry all day and feel like the pill isn't working but in fact I went off scheule by eating less than 1 hour before the pill or not drinking the water.

Also if you take the pill too late in the day, you will be up all night. You should not take it after 2:00 pm.

Now, I stick to the one hour after the pill or two hours after eating.

Good luck.

I was going to suggest a preg test...first time I had a sudden gain (not tom related) I was taking Bontril (phend) and got upset thinking it stopped working and asked to be switched to Adipex. My doctor said ok then I went home and realized a couple of days later I was late. Took test and it was positive, unfortunately I miscarried at 3 months, Bontril is linked to miscarriage but no way to know for sure if that was the cause. I would say if you suspect to stop taking everything until you know for sure.

Best Wishes
