I had VSG back in 2018 and my highest weight was 235 when I went into surgery, my lowest weight was 153 and I’m now at 189 I started the two medications today. Thank you for this video.

Hey, first I know your video is a year old this is just information you can use for the future if you so wish to. I just watched your video because I am currently taking Phentermine and Topiramate. You were talking about the side effects causing you severe constipation if you ever get severe constipation again from any drugs that you're taking. Ask your doctor to write you a prescription for Movantik ( for constipation ) It is supposed to be strictly for people who are taking opioids. But I think it can be used for other drugs as well. I mean this drug was a lifesaver for me when I tell you I tried everything under the sun I mean I tried everything!! You take one pill every morning on an empty stomach with a full glass of water thinking abou😮t 30 minutes you're off to the bathroom and you have a NOEMAL bowel movement. Hope this helps you or maybe someone else. 🌹

How long did stay on it ? Or or you continue taking it?

Fyi to everyone with free Goodrx phentermine & topiramate would cost you like 20.00 total. Just bypass insurance.

What is the name of this song?

Loved this video!! It was the most informative video I’ve watched. My surgery is July 23, 2024. My daughter had her surgery 6 weeks ago and is during well. She went from a I cup to a c cup. I’m an I cup also but I’m going down to a b. I thank you for talking an about the bras… I’m going to looking into that. Congratulations 🎈

Because you lose water weight in the beginning. Then you lose 2 lbs a week after

its because u lost weight people are very shallow

Interesting that it made you feel tired, have you tired just the stimulant without the topiramate? If you have adhd try adderall on its own, its a better appetite suppressant and will not make you feel tired. I have adhd and coffee makes me sleepy reason why im suggesting.

I started Phentermine 37.5 on Saturday and I’m down 5.3 lbs As of today. I had the gastric sleeve in 2014. Once I found love and had a hysterectomy the weight came back on and then some . I’m excited on this new life style and changes in my diet

I’m starting today ? How are you doing now ?

OK, wait a minute I guess I must’ve read the title wrong so you had weight loss surgery and then you took Phentermine and Topamax after

Do you drink at least a gallon of water? I was told to drink EXTRA with this drug

It’s probably the capsules form because my opinion the tablets maybe better You have lost a good bit of weight be proud of yourself. Also you can try exercising along with taking it. It’s not a quick fix of you wanting to lose weight if you’re not exercising and practicing healthy choices.

Thank God you FINALLY went to the Doctor ! God's continued best to you always and congrats on reaching your goals !

But you do know that topiramate is a mood stabilizer!! Ask your dr to up your dose on phentermine. I take only that and I have lost 30+ lbs in 2 months. I've been on it for 5 months now I take 37.5 mg and not capsules. Get off the topiramate! That's where your constipation came from.. it's not a good medicine. Once you stop you will have crazy mood swings (topiramate)... good luck

My doctor was looking at me like I was crazy. I knew those pills weren’t working for me with my appetite. It ONLY gave me the energy to workout.

Is anyone here taking this 2 meds and having vision problems? I lost 42 lbs with them and I was happy but now I been having severe vision problems

Welcome Back!! I was wondering where you were ❤❤

Happy Belated Birthday beautiful and congrats on reaching 158 lbs. Wishing you continued healing and progress throughout your journey. 💛

Does Phentermine make you sweat a lot I'm experiencing that 😢

Great tips & snacks! Thank you!

I got like a cold sweating, crying because I drunk my protein shake faster

Thank you for pointing out that featherman can cause art problems after you stop it, it can also cause full bladder and kidney problems. You cannot go around to hydrate it, you have to make sure you drink a lot, and the problem persists if you look on TH-cam, there are other people that have had heart and kidney problems call bladder problems and gotta let me know what else period I know. We all need to lose weight and I know we all want to be thinner. I want to be 60% farmer in my energize. My rear end my hips. And I wanna be 80 pounds later period but the problem. Is that no matter what doctor there is, when they try to control hunger in the human body, it can cause a lot of very serious problems. They just can't seem to get away from it. It seems to be one thing they cannot conquer in the human genetics. To control our hunger or make us burn calories faster without health problems.

I think Phentermine works best is you alternate days.

can I get these medicines without prescription ? like online?

Thank you for your transparency. I definitely can relate. I too have those same thoughts.

So because you lost weight you want men to bend over backwards for you. Lower your standards. You not gonna get that. And don’t categorize men in general. Talk about the ones you failed to meet

I was started on phentermine 37.5 mg in the morning and topiramate 25 for 1 week and then increase to 50 at night. Starting weight 181 as at May 1st, today 168.2 lbs. I need to get o 160 lbs. I had insomnia first 48 hours and then back to sleep pattern. I weaned myself off the topiramate after 2 weeks because it slowed me down mentally and felt like a zombie, mood change to quieter than normal. Have stayed on Phentermine and it suppresses my appetite, do get jittery and a bit of energy but not over stimulated like most ppl say. I did develop heart palpitations and some chest discomfort in the first couple of weeks of taking it but not any more. As at June 1st, breaking my tab in half and it still suppresses my appetite. Will mention that I get very drowsy right after I eat. Otherwise it is working. Will never get back on topiramate ever again, too risky when I see my patients myself..needed to “be in my right mind.”

You look amazing! Keep up the good work ❤

I just started on Phentermine and Topiramate today! I’d be interested in you doing an update video about your experience on it :) Good luck on your journey!

My fav video loved the haul and loved seeing that personality really come out trying on the different glasses. Yasssssssssssss

O well I pose this question to every women having this surgery? Would you have given a fat or short man a chance…… Crickets.

Do you work out? I was on phentermine for 9 months and lost 130 lbs. But i was on the higher dosage i did deal with constipation and insomnia. Adding fiber definitely helped

Thank you so much for your transparency. My stomach is also my biggest insecurity. I’m 9 months post op. Your gorgeous and so proud of you. TMI but The dumping throwing up is the WORST, I literally have to empty everything I ate😩 Definitely nice to be able have people along this journey 😊

Personally, I think you should get off top and ask your Dr to allow you to only take Phentermine 37.5 dosage which is the standard. It gives you energy and kills your appetite. Stay on it for no more than three months. Taper off of it slowly vs cold turkey. The energy I had was outstanding. It fueled my hardcore workouts (weightlifting and cardio ) then I’d still have energy to clean the house, run errands. It gave me a euphoric feeling. It does give you dry mouth and constipation and can speeds up your heart. It only made me feel slightly constipated but I’ve ALWAYS been constipated. You have a tiny bit of weight to lose so you won’t need it longer than a month. I lost about 22 lbs in 1.5 months and I was around the same weight you are now when I started taking it. I stopped taking it because I just needed a little help to get going, then continued to lose more weight without it and kept it off. Hugs to you. You look beautiful ❤

I love thise pills! Im on 37.5mg and i was 206 as of today just got on the scale and im 199 i honestly think i was 203!!! But when i went to the doctor today for my breast reduction they weighed me at 206 just got on the scale at 10pm and im 199!!! I lose two pounds a day on those along with a water pill i take together i use to take topiramate for headaches now i just take phentermine with a water pill which flushes out my body of any excess water weight!!! I dnt think abt food and when i do eat i only take a few bites and be done! I have been on this weight loss journey now foing on 3yrs june 1st and fresh from fdl almost a yr now getting breast reduction! Currently take phentermine to keep my weight off lowest weight was 177 highest 209 yet before the journey 285. I just want to be healthy and manage between 180/175 which is my goal! If i stay on track and focused!

For me the tablets work way better than the capsules and I’m on 37.5 mg. I hope you continue to lose weight on your journey and just being healthy and happy.

I took topiramate and the gpl1 shot for 5mths and only lost roughly 20lbs. Me personally topiramate wasn’t doing ish even when they upped the dose but the shot actually curved the appetite and made me fatigue it did what it was up till my surgery date but wasn’t enough. Vonna you got this sis don’t beat yourself up just continue your journey you made it too far and I’m month and week po and I have lost 22lbs since surgery date and now I’m 199 yaaayyy😂😂❤

I took topamax(topiramate) many years ago for my migraines,for over 10 years. You're on a low dosage but i dnt know if you know about the side effects. Hair thinning,hair loss,slow thinking,slow movements. I know side effects depend are different for everyone,but every person I've encountered has had the same ones. Because you drive and have the children and i recall(if im not mistaken) you saying your family doesnt live close. My advice to you,as one parent to another,is do not take the top,simply because of those reasons it can put you in a "out of it" state when you least expect it. Have you tried asking your doctor for Ozempic?? Or not try any meds at all?? Have you tried eating clean?? Lots of veggies and fruits?? And mainly fish?? And lots of exercise?? Hair looks beautiful as always 😊😊

The expression is your ""eyes are bigger then your stomach". 😂 I'm still learning to eat slowly, also if I eat too much it will come back up( dumping). I will be 5 months post-Op on may 15th.

Thank you for sharing ❤

Thanks for openness and honesty. My journey starts May 9th. I’m ready for the challenge🤎

Thank you for sharing such information. I am just about one month post-op. Still learning my body and what it can and cannot tolerate time. But I am thankful for your channel and your updates.

My journey has definitely been up and down. You’re very brave. I’m definitely encouraged by you and your honesty.

Looking Good DeVonna.

Love it!! Im a 32 D or DD and would love to be a B.. dont even care how it looks tbh just want the weight off. The thing that worries me is sleepin bc I sleep on my side and stomach.. Are you able to do that now?

Thanks for your motivation and support, as I am looking forward to it,you've also helped me to start collecting the cushions and pads,thanks so much.

Please speak on the dumping because I’m confused on that and I need to know what I experienced with dumping vs what’s not dumping because since I’m able to consume more food but I’m barely making to 600 cal because I get super full quick and then I’m nauseous so I be scared to eat at times I literally have to lay down when I’m nauseous after I eat sometimes and I’ve noticed I can’t eat yogurt every time I eat yogurt I instantly in a matter of seconds my stomach starts hurting and cramping 😂

Thank you I’m month po and I was a snacked especially with young kids so I feel the need thank you for your video sis
