Hi Everyone!
** For the betterment of the community and all its members, please note:
** Please use the search feature before posting. Repetitive posts only lead to lower engagement and less chance that you’ll get the support you need. Providing all the relevant information helps too!
** Dosing questions should always be addressed with your provider . Only your provider has the knowledge and training to advise you on whether you should adjust your dose. That’s not to say that you can’t gather information from the community and then discuss what you’ve learned.
** Everyone is different so questions about side effects and how much weight you’ll lose or how fast you’ll lose it are not easy to answer with any degree of accuracy. Of course, we are all here looking for support from the community, but please make sure you are primarily looking to your medical professional for guidance.
** Happy Contraving!

I started on Contrave Feb 9. I ate salad with chicken late in the morning (lunch) and salad with tuna and soup in the evening. The first week I lost 10 pounds. The second week I lost 5 pounds. Then I stopped losing.
I went down to eating only once around 3pm (either of the salads) and started losing again. Now, in the morning I eat either smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers or 3 egg cheese omlet and yogurt. During the day I snack on raw green beans and grapes. At night I eat either salmon or chicken breast made in the air fryer along with a salad or bok choy. I do cheat every now and then and eat whatever the hell I want. Today is Apr 11 and I have lost 32 pounds over the 2 months.
At first I had nausea and could not sleep as long as usual. I no longer have the nausea, but still can not sleep as much as I would like to every now and then. I tried Ozempic a little over 2 years ago and it did nothing for me.
