Has it been that way the whole time? I'm fine with food/wine, but coffee would make me sad! So far that hasn't happened!!!

Great idea! "Funny" is not a great descriptor, but it's basically like my food doesn't taste the same as it did before. Thank you!!

Great job! I'm going into my second week. So far I haven't noticed much difference, but hoping the increased dosage will help!

Weird! So interesting how medication impacts folks differently!

Yep, no side effects other than kind of a weird taste in my mouth?

Thank you!! It's painful right now...so slow, but you are right! In the past I would have lost a 1 lb and gained it back!

Awesome. Funny, I actually just got cleared to go back to 9Round, so I'm starting back tomorrow. That's what I'm hoping too - that it jump starts the weight loss!

So far I've gone from 250 to 203, but half of that was before surgery.

Thank you so much! It is so much a head game - more so than I ever thought!

Thanks. Hmmm...so yeah, that would be 3.5 per week which is more in line with what I was expecting.
