First week update
Started foundayo 7 days ago. Trying to lose about 15 pounds. My doctor was slightly reluctant to prescribe because I have a normal BMI, but understood my reasoning and didn’t give me any serious downsides. I take .8 in the AM when I wake up. So far feeling like it’s doing generally what it is supposed to do. I stay full pretty much all day, and get full on a much smaller portion of food. I generally had fine portion control before the pill, but when I get hungry I would often feel ravenous when other people didn’t. Now I can get through the day on much less food. No real side effects other than increased burping and the fullness can be uncomfortable if I drink a lot of water at once. Water definitely sits in your stomach longer, just like food does so that is a strange sensation. I am used to gulping huge amounts of water all day so I’ll have to modify that. Haven’t lost any weight yet (actually up a pound or two) but I was on vacation and I know I’m having some water retention. It’s definitely not real weight bc I’ve barely been eating! Can’t wait to see what the rest of month 1 brings.
