All sudden my heartrate is becoming high and getting some chest tightness/pain , 7 weeks exactly today and it’s been about a week in half since I’ve noticed it. And it’s mainly when I get some anxiety and nervousness. Not really when I workout or anything else. I don’t know if the phentermine is just bringing it out more that now I’m noticing it when I get anxious about things. anyone else experiencing this? It’s truly so random . I didn’t even experience a racing heart at all since starting it until now lol

Hit 6 weeks as of yesterday, I’m down 14 pounds. Most all my side effects are slowed down or gone entirely. This is such a slow process and to me I haven’t noticed a difference which I know that’s normal , just had a update with my doctor and she’s adding topiramate for me to take in the evenings. She said they work well together to keep losing weight. I am doing 3 months worth of phentermine as of right now, I know a lot of doctors do 3 months on and then a month off and then back on , havent discussed that with her yet but we shall see. I am proud of myself and I’m glad to be losing weight again!

Any parents on here take any type of medicine for anger or anxiety/depression. I’m a mom of 2 autistic boys , an almost 10 year old and almost 3 year old. since having my youngest it’s been difficult and hard because i basically did everything on my own with him and his dad didn’t help as much or at all like he should have. I have a lot of anger and getting super frustrated and angry with my boys and I hate it. my youngest is level 3 and he just boils my blood and cries and whines and screams 24/7 , very bad ADHD and OCD. I’m tired of yelling and being angry all the time and think it’s finally time for medicine, I went through horrible post partum with my youngest. who do I talk to about this? I can’t take much more and need to regulate myself because I’m losing my mind. I can’t keep being this angry. Just the little sound of the crying and screaming I get rage so bad. I’m struggling and need help with this. So once again who do I see or talk to about it. Thank you !

Been 2 weeks and 3 days and I’m 10 pounds lighter!! I’m so excited! This has really helped jumpstart my weight loss process again! I had the sleeve in 2021 , I was 267 and got down to 167 but I ended up pregnant in 2023. Gained weight back and unfortunately made it back up to 237 . Dr recommended this to help me get back on track before I decide to get the revision done. So far so good! Only side effects is dry mouth and some insomnia which was already there it’s just slightly worse lol

We are at the stage of taking off diaper and playing with his shit 💩 😑 He’s about 30 pounds and fits 4t pretty well , what’s everyone using for adaptive clothing that’s not outrageous in price. I need something sooner than later because I can’t keep cleaning up shit all day ! As soon as he notices he can do it , he does it.

11 days in and I’ve lost 8 pounds so far! And that’s only on half of a 37.5 ! I will start the full pill at 2 weeks. no sides effects so far , just one time I could feel my heart rate sky rocket but since then nothing , sleeping hasn’t been any more difficult than before lol but has anyone had like excessive sweating? cause I’m sweating up a storm just doing normal things lol granted it is hot out but even inside doing dishes I sweat , and even 10 times more when working out . But I’m excited that I’ve lost 8 pounds already lol My boredom eating has stopped and my portions have gotten way smaller ! I’m trying to lose 20 pounds by August 23rd which I think I’ll be able to do ! So far so good! I’m happy

What’s everyone’s favorite meals to make?! Lunches and dinners, trying to get back on track as I’ve gained weight back from having my son. I’m just kinda blah on ideas on what to even make anymore. I’m 5 years post op and gained about 50ish pounds back and wanted to get it back off. but like I said I’m just like blank minded with good meals with good protein and balance.

I’m so over the NOT sleeping . Hes never ever slept through the night EVER. He is 2.5 , he has sleep apnea, restless legs , insomnia. we have tried everything under the sun to get him to sleep more than 2-3 hours and then actually be in a deep enough sleep that he’s not tossing , turning, crying out , throwing his body around , sitting up. He’s also had tonsils and adenoids removed. We have tried several medication’s and NOTHING we keep him asleep. It’s truly exhausting . 2.5 years no basically NO sleep is drained me completely , I don’t even know how he survives on the way he “sleeps” . Hes currently taking Trazodone 3mls , that literally worked for 2 to 3 days and he got the most sleep he ever had in his entire life, which was six hours the first night and then the next two nights eight hours. After those three days, it was back to every 2 to 3 hours he wakes up. I will take some blame for cosleeping because that is truly the only way I could get to him fast enough from being a newborn until now to settle him down. It was just easier for me. I know he’s gotten used to sleeping with someone. I’ve tried so hard to break that habit and nothing has worked. Even with the same routine every single night , he still sleeps the same. He has had MRIs. CAT scans. Bloodwork so many test and the only thing for sure is sleep apnea along with the restless legs that truly hinder his sleeping, it’s mild sleep apnea at that. he also has really bad reactions to medication’s, he can’t take antihistamines because that makes his restless legs worse. He tried Clodine And that was the worst reaction I’ve ever seen besides when he was on Nexium as a baby. I truly see no end in sight. And I truly don’t know how much longer I can do this.

I’m on day 6 of half of a 37.5 pill, so far so good , i do get bursts of energy but then it starts to die down and I get super exhausted, bad dry mouth so I’ve been chugging water . Still have some food noise during the evening hours and that’s when I tend to want to snack and not eat a meal. I usually don’t eat breakfast and rarely ate lunch in the past 6 days. Dr wants me to do 2 weeks of half a pill then take a full one. Haven’t started exercising yet , I’m a busy mom with special needs kiddos so appointments have been taking up my time . Hoping to kick in gear with working out and work on actually eating properly and more consistently then what I have been. I have my bridesmaids dress alterations on August 23th. Hoping to lose weight by then , it’s already 2 sizes to big so I’m wanting to lose some weight before alterations

I truly am at my whits end with waking up to a soaked peed 2 in half year old 😭 I haven’t found a single diaper/pull up that holds this kids pee! Yes I stop giving him liquids 2 hours before bed. I’ve double diapered , a diaper and a pull-up on. what’s the secret ?! like I can’t keep doing this ! We co sleep so it’s not fun washing and changing bedding every single day, or I’m always changing him in the middle of the night and having to lay a towel down because he’s already soaked himself and the bed. HELP!

I’ve been taking half of a 37.5 , this is my 4th day and so far I’ve gotten horrible cotton mouth 😅 and random bursts of energy , here and there elevated heart rate but nothing crazy at all. But it’s not really curving my hunger much , my dr said do 2 weeks of half a pill. Is this normal? Will it start working better once I take the whole pill? I’m not acting on the hunger much but kinda making me be hungrier if that makes sense lol I’m being mindful of the food noise but sometimes it’s like I take the pill and my hunger comes intensely out of nowhere. im not a breakfast eater but I’ve been wanting breakfast like 30 minutes after I take the half of pill. Maybe it’s all in my head? I don’t know lol but hopefully the whole pill kicks in better

Going to be starting this tomorrow , Dr wants me to start with half a pill for 2 weeks and if I don’t have any side effects start a whole pill. My current weight is 237 would like to jump start my weight loss again and get back down to 160s! What’s the good , bad and ugly of this pill!

Has anyone truly gotten their kiddo on a sleeping schedule under the age of 5 😅 then throw all his sleeping disorders on top of it. My almost 3 year old has insomnia and sleep apnea and rest less legs , he’s NEVER slept through the nights , like not a full 8–12 hours of sleep EVER. He sleeps 2-3 hours and sometimes if we are lucky , 4-5 but that’s rare , oh and he cosleeps(my fault) I take the blame there but when you are at the point of sleep deprivation , you do what you gotta do! I feel like I’ve tried everything, the only thing honestly I’m slacking on is wake up times , naps times and bed times. Meaning those vary depending on so many things 😂 I don’t not mean to keep it on a schedule it’s just my son won’t stay on that schedule. Because currently he’s still snoozing at 8:10 so that’s means either he’s gonna want a late nap or he gets no nap at all! im truly exhausted and I don’t know what to do anymore so I just follow his lead and it’s biting me in the butt!!

went to ER due to severe lower right side belly pain, thought maybe my appendix but it was not that and they found NOTHING that would be causing me so much pain. I had all the signs but my lower belly has been tender and sore for a couple weeks now, and now anytime I push down where my appendix is im in so much pain, this pain comes and goes, I’m truly baffled by it. im 10 in half weeks post op. I’m not sure if something from the surgery like the incesions on the inside are messed up or something I don’t know truly . Anyone else have pains like this after surgery . they told me they had no clue and sent me home

I’m currently 10 weeks and 2 days post op, i totally forgot about a graduation party that’s tomorrow at a natural springs lake. Is it okay for me to swim? my cuff was checked at 6 weeks and she said it’s healing and there was only a couple little stitches still. obviously can’t contact her before tomorrow. But want to make sure I’m okay to swim!

Hello, this post is kinda just a vent/idk really ! Lol but in June 2021 I had the gastric sleeve. I started out at 267 , got all the way down to 167. was loving life , i had a son already and truly didn’t think I’d have anymore kids , well I ended up pregnant in 2023 , gained about 40 pounds back, ended up losing about 20ish pounds after I had him but unfortunately went though a horrible round of post partum depression and ended up gaining that weight back and then some. And as of today I’m now 238 pounds and so so miserable and so so upset with myself. I got back in contact with my Bariatrics office and made the appointments I needed to talk about a revision in which I had already talked to them back in 2023 when my son was like 4 months old about the revision but told them not right now which I should have just did it back then! now that my sons 2 in half and a handful it’s going to be rough, but another twist is I just had a full hysterectomy on april 15th so that’s setting me back again before they can even do the revision, I also have HORRIBLE reflux. I’m taking 40mg of pantoprazole a day. All together I want the revision to get this weight off again and help my reflux which I know the pass by is the best option for that. sorry this post was all over the place lol I plan to get back on my diet and start working out again also before the revision also

Is lube a must when intercorse is resume? should we use it just as precaution. kinda nervous about not being as wet as first and drying up and killing the mood 😅
