Hi everybody ..I just got my phentermine today and will start tomorrow. I'm excited and encouraged after reading some of your posts. I have always had to watch my weight but I quit smoking in July and have gained 25 lbs. I'm so hungry all the time so my doctor thought phentermine would help.

My husband and I are OTR truck drivers and food at truck stops is not healthy at all. Unfortunately, everything is a buffet so it's really hard. Does this drug keep you from being hungry?

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hello! I am new as well! But welcome!

Yes, Phen definitly makes you not hungry. It took a day or 2 of me taking them before the hunger subsided... but be patient it does work!! BUT if you stop eating you will not lose as much weight. I have tried....believe me its not as effective I just eat a healthy small meals through the day...and have some healthy snacks. This round I lost about 12#'s in the first 4 weeks.

Example:
Breakfast - Granola bar and banana
Lunch-(I work so I bring something) Lean Cuisine or smart choice type micro meal
Dinner - I have 5 kids and a husband who are not dieting. I just make dinner as healthy as possible. and just eat a small portion.

I am usually never hungry in between but you do need food to keep your metabolism going!! So, I eat maybe fruit...some pretzels, fat free pudding / jello.....things like that...

Since you are a OTR Truck driver....can you stop at stores and maybe buy some healthy snacks? Granola bars, fruit, alot of the FF jellos and puddings do not need refridgeration...... buy frozen meals and heat them up at the Truck stop? Salad bars....with FF dressing? veggies? Just some suggestions...hope I helped!

Good luck!
