Hola! Good morning Crystal! I am actually going to the doctor to switch birth controls this morning, so maybe I can get her to write a prescription for a refill on the adipex also. The first month I feel I could have done alot better as far as making it work.... Anyways, so maybe I can get it filled and get on a better birth control... Ugh....I finally have insurance now so it should be a little better money wise. So as of right now I decided to get on here because I can't fall back asleep :(... Oh well, probably be tired later and take a nap. Right now listening to Flogging Molly, definately not going to be able to fall back asleep now ! I want to loose at least 2 lbs. this week...That would be nice. 10 lbs. before I visit back home, I can do it! Well, I should do something productive before I go to see the doc. Talk at you later

Jessica, now I am all excited and HAVE to know what your doctor said before you fall off for a nap. STAY AWAKE, long enough to tell us!

Hey Susan! Thanks for following up with me. She went ahead and prescribed me with the generic for Yaz. I start taking it on Monday. What a joy it is to have insurance, (sigh of relief), So we'll see how it reacts with me ... Another gf of mine who is taking yaz said she lost weight from it. Another girl on this site said the same thing. Maybe I will be as fortunate and maybe loose more weight just from getting off that horrible Depo shot!!! But she said in I think 2 months she wants to switch me to something else birth control wise. No idea why, i didn't ask her. But other than that now i'm going to bed Also, I got 1 more month's prescriptionof Phentermine, Im going to give it a whirl this time and try my best! Cross your fingers for me .... Thanks susan, goodnight everyone!

Thanks for that reply..I was looking to see what the doctor said and POOF! There was your reply!

You mentioned something I hadn't thought of in a very long time...the option of taking a different type OTHER medicine you might be taking that may have weight loss as a side effect...or changing from one that has weight gain as a side effect.

I remember when my daughter was 6 months old that she had to take prednisone for an eye problem and her little body blew up like a balloon for a few months, then deflated when she was1 year old. I remember thinking to myself that surely another drug should be available. She was 100% breast fed and I was unwilling to add food at that time because we didn't know what might happen because of the drug lowering her immune system. Poor Little Darlin'. She's great now!

I know! Alot of medication have weight gain or loss as a side affect... Not that the depo shot is horrible, but it was horrible for me... One other girl on this site said she loved it. So something will react differently for everyone... ... But the Depo made me gain over 30 lbs. Thankfully I lost it, and hopefully I loose some more by just getting off of it. Another friend of mine said she lost 20 lbs. just by stop taking the depo shot. Again, I hope i'm as fortunate and the YAZ pill works just as well for me, and this time with my Phentermine I am going to try my best. Exercise more and eat smaller portions!! Because the first month i was not drinking hardly any water at all.... But now I drink minimal of 101 oz. of water a day, so that should help more with the help of the Phentermine. Also, going to exercise more and yeah! haha Okay im babbling now, ill stop! Thank you so much for caring girls, I'm glad your here for me and I will do my best to encourage ya'll in any way I can!
Bye for now,
Jessica

Hey girly! Don't worry I didn't get lost lol I have just been really busy the last couple of days. My aunt had her surgery and she is doing really good.

Glad to hear you got your prescription refilled. I thought about trying Yaz. Right now I'm not on any bc. I have to find another doctor since we just recently moved and my other one is too far for me to drive to. I might ask for Yaz and see if it does anything for me.

Overall this weekend wasn't too bad, eating-wise, despite the fact that I was at the hospital off and on and have been running around like crazy all weekend. I can always do really good during the week at work, but the weekend just throws me off, especially if my husband is off with me and we go out places. My goal for this week is to drink more water. I have been drinking some, but not what I should be.

I painted my living room today, so I got PLENTY of exercise. lol

Well, let me know how you have been doing!

[jessicacagan2007]

Hey Crystal, yay you wrote back! I'm glad your mother's surgery went well! Yeah, find that doctor so you can get birth control!! Do you have any children at all? Right now, I'm just noooottt ready for children, no enough money or room. We live in a small apartment in southeast texas, and it's small!! I am so jealous, you were painting your living room, aye? I want a house so bad. We are hoping to buy a house at the beginning of next year sometime. But that us good , yeah painting can be a workout. What color did you paint your living room? Yeah, I am drinking 3 liters of water a day. Slowly going to move up to 4 liters a day but right now 3 is hard enough... 101.oz yay! I have been sort of doing okay on eating. I was really depressed this weekend, so got a lil piggish at times and drank a little wine ... But all that counts is I get back in the groove of things .. So hopefully I do good this week. I am motivated and 2nd day of phentermine is down! Well I hope to hear from you soon Crystal! Thanks for writing back...

Hey!! Just thought I'd check in.

Good job on the water intake! I've had about 40 oz today, lol. It's so hard for me to drink water. I'd rather drink tea or juice, which is better than soda, but I know I still need water. I've used those flavor packets before, but the only ones I like are the Propel ones and they can be expensive.

I've got a couple doctors in mind. I need to call and get an appointment. I've just been lazy about it. We don't have any kids, and sometimes I think I would like to have one or some, but then I snap out of it and realize it's the last thing I need right now. Me and my husband both are trying to get through school and it would just make things so much more difficult.

We got this house in September of last year. We painted the living room a beige color when we first moved in, but I decided to paint on of the walls red. It is a deep red, sort of like barn red. I think it's really pretty. I love that color, but I just wouldn't think the whole room would look good red, so I just did one wall. We have lived in apartments or rent houses forever and I was never able to do this. So I enjoy getting to paint or do whatever I want to the house. I just wish I had more time to do it.

What day do you weigh in? I weigh myself too much. I usually try to weigh only on Friday mornings, but that's a joke. I had to take it out of my bathroom so I would stop weighing every day.

I'm sure you'll get back on track from this weekend. It sounds like you already have.

Talk to ya later!
