More Hungry Now than Before?!?!

[JennLin]

I have been on adipex now for a week (well, tomorrow will equal a week). Before I started on this, I really wasn't a hungry person. I rarely had many cravings... I hated eating by myself or late at night... I really wouldn't feel a great sense of hunger until it was dinner time (although I made myself eat before that if I could). I have alot of pregnancy weight I need to lose.

The first day I was on adipex I felt amazing! I could feel my hunger going down, especially my desire for sodas (that is my downfall... food I could avoid.. but coke is a hard one). I had these affects to Sunday. After that I was feeling more and more hungry. I haven't had coke all week long... not sure if thats even a contributing factor here... but I am more hungry now than I was even when I was pregnant! I am trying to keep track of what I am eating to make sure this hunger doesn't get the best of me, but I am just not sure what to think. I hate the feeling of hungry and actually enjoyed the fact that I could eat just a small something when I knew I needed to and not because I was controlled by my hunger or cravings.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am honestly not sure what to think and even my husband is confused with how hungry I am. I am hoping that I am just about to get my TOM... I have no idea because I still haven't had mine since having my 2nd baby 8 weeks ago. And I had only had 2 intween my first and second kid (they are 18 months apart). I am just confused and very frustrated! No one wants to feel more hungry than before they went on this medication!
