Hi...I'm glad I found this site to share stories and successes.

Today is my first day on Phentermine and I can't even believe how small my appetite is! I hope to share results similar to all the vets on this site. Thanks!

Welcome and good luck! You will not want to eat at all for a few days but remember you have to eat or else your body will go into emergency mode and store the fat!

Also wanted to add that I'm 28, live in Kansas City, MO, work full-time, grad school at night, work out all the time with no real results. I had always been an athlete in high school and college so it's hard to not see results right away. Today is my first day on phentermine, after going to a personal trainer/diet for 2 months with only 5 pounds lost.

Ok here I am....second day. Feeling good, but literally could not make myself eat yesterday I forced some brocolli and carrots down last night for dinner. Is it bad to be cutting back that much or should I be trying to eat?

Also - I woke up about every hour on the hour. Does this go away? I really don't want to go on sleeping pills too (they make me really sleepy during the day)

I was theeeee EXACT same way. I had to force myself to eat. It will start to level off in about a week or two...might be sooner than that.

Really try hard to eat 5-6 small portions of healthy food a day. Drink lots of water, otherwise you'll dehydrated and constipated. (yuck, i've been there) I would cook my brown rice in a rice cooker for the entire week and then pick either fish, lean turkey or chicken to eat at night- easy to cook and would measure 4 oz of chicken or fish and would do about 1/2 cup of lean ground up turkey. (I mix in a little olive oil and soy sauce...makes it taste a little better).

Try unisom at night. Again, Like I said in another post, try taking your phen super early and if you're still wired at 10 or 11 when it's time for bed, try working out a little....go for a brisk walk, do some jumping jacks and push ups....anything for about 20 minutes or so, to wear out that energy.

You have to eat, otherwise when you go off of phen, you will feel ravenous and pig out and go right back to your old habits. Keep a journal, eat small meals ....make your habits NOW, because when you go off of phen, it's going to be all up to you!

Good luck.
