My wife is 210 pounds, 5 foot 4 inches, 28 years old. She has tried normal dieting by watching caloric intake and exercise and it just wasn't working out. She heard from a friend about Phentermine. She went to the doctor in November and got a 30-day prescription for Phen. She took the pills the first day and just barely felt it. Within the first week, she lost 5 pounds. She never felt anything after the first day. Over the remaining three weeks, she took her pills, exercised every three days (sometimes more), and watched her diet. She gained back the 3 pounds and had a really hard time (almost to tears sometimes) not eating more because of the pills. She was almost happy to get off of them because her hunger started to go back to normal.
When she went back to the doctor, it was really bad comforting her when she came home in tears. The doctor told her this was the best stuff, and that she just needed to stop eating so much and exercise and go get on Weight Watchers. She explained that she had tried this and hasn't been successful. (This is baby fat from a pregnancy 7 years ago and she has tried EVERYTHING natural to drop this weight). The doctor said to get on Weight Watchers or else she would never lose the weight and be fat forever.
Does anyone have any recommendations as far as alternative medication or alternative methods? If she has tried something that is mentioned, I will let you know.
Thanks so much.
