Weight Loss
"I am a 55 yr old woman,  one year post hysterectomy. I want to reduce to 140 lbs. I started Belviq on 3/8. I was nervous about side effects,  so I tapered up to the dose over 4 days.  I had a headache the first day of the full dose, remedied quickly with ibuprofen, and that was it. I notice I sleep soundly at night.  I have no appetite at all, so I force myself to eat. I&#039;m following a 1200 calorie diet, but I struggle to finish my small meals. I weighed 176 lb the first day.  Today I weigh 170.  Losing 6 lbs in 17 days,  without any exercise is encouraging.  My exercise room is almost set up,  and when I add exercise to this plan,  I can&#039;t imagine how much faster the weight will drop. I&#039;m hoping to use Belviq 6 months or less."
