      Oh great! It takes a while to get up to the full dose but it really helped me get back on track. Hope it goes well!

    This is exactly what I’ve been looking for I had VSG almost 2 years ago and I’ve been sick since COVID hit I really want to be in one-derland. I’ve been 216 for the longest.

    Linda, I’ve started contrave and it’s week 1. I feel it’s curbing my appetite and wondering if I don’t increase my dosage as instructed, will this be okay if I feel like it works anyway with 1 x tablet a day? I’m just thinking why increase the dosage if this works …..I’d be grateful for your thoughts

    Hi Linda, I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling well. I hope going off the Wellbutrin will help you. You mentioned you would still take the naltrexone for pain relief. What is your dosage for that? I look forward to your part 2 video to see what your plan is for the future. Good luck and thank you 😊 🌷

      Hi Esperanza, thanks so much! Right now I'm staying on my current dosage of naltrexone. I have 6mg pills from a compounding pharmacy and I take them 4x a day.

    Contrave suggests not eating chocolate. Could that be the issue? Thanks for the video.
