Hi everyone. Im new here so please bear with me~!!! I just started taking Phentermine on Monday August 24. So far I feel ok, no racing heart, blurred vision, etc, and I feel my appetite has suppressed, but come night time, I want to eat anything that hops in my path!!! After the first day, I lost 3 pounds, can that be right> I think they must be some kind of diuretic, cuz Im going to the bathroom like I was pregnant!!! LOL Which, thank goodness, Im not!!! I had my third and last a year ago, she is so darn adorable, but had all three of my kids C section, so you can imagine my tummy. I was wondering if anyone, who used to or has now, a tummy like that and are losing weight with this drug, does it go away, or at least down>?? Also, what the heck is inthis drug anyways??? Thanks for letting me hang for tonite!!! You can email me at booga6****.com if you want to share your success with me, Id love to hear it for motivation!!!! Heidi

I'm a mom w/ tummy issues too & I don't know the answer to that one, but as for the late night hunger - I also experience that. I've found that if I take the pill later in the day - say noontime, it helps with evenings. Doesn't fix the problem completely, but doesn't wear off so soon I guess.

Hi Tina! I just started on Phen on Wed. and have lost 1lb. I'm on the time-released 30mg capsule and really don't get too hungry at night which is usually when I get the hungry horrors! Phen is an amphetamine-like med, so it will "speed"`things up somewhat! You could try to take it a little later than u r now, but be careful of sleeplessness! As far as the tummy goes, u will lose wweight there, but u will need to exercise to firm up the loose skin(Not saying u have that, but I hope u know what I mean and take no offense). For me it's my butt and hips! J-Lo has nothing on me!! Good luck! Liz

Welcome Heidi! I've had 1 c-section. Don't know the answer to your question yet but I'm hoping and praying it goes away with exercise (tummy crunches) & weightloss! We'll see

Liz -- LOL @ the JLo comment. That was a good one. Hang in there!

LizClar · August 30th, 2003, 11:02 AM

Sry Heidi! Didn't mean to call u Tina!
Hope everyone is doing well and losing!
Well, J-Lo has a lot more money than me, but that's it!
This is one "losing" battle we WILL win!!
