Does anyone know if we can take Adipex aka Phentermine after RNY?
 
I'm almost 3 years out.  I had a baby 4 months ago and would like to shed these last 15-20 pregnancy pounds before summer gets here.  Right now I'm 140-145 pounds depending on what time of day I step on the scale LOL!

I'm doing all my back to basics and the scale is just not moving.  I'd like a boost of energy too.

Just wanted to see if anyone has taken it post-op?

TIA!
Ash :)

I don't know personally, but Pam T on the main RNY board is taking it at the moment.  Here is a link to her blog where she talks about it.

I don't know of any medical reason why you can't and I do know some post-RNYer's that have taken it.  I'd be tempted but I can't find anyone to give me a RX of it.  They laugh when I ask and I still weigh 155-158 so it's not like I'm skinny.

ASH-something "non-prescription" that may help with the appetite/energy thing is "Redline capsules". I swear by them-but I don't have any heart, blood pressure issues, etc (small disclaimer there..lol). I get them at GNC, but can find good deals on ebay too. I can't do the Redline liquid shooyers-they nearly blew my head off, but the capsules I do great with.

Many GNCs keep them "behing the counter", so you may have to ask for them. Congrats on catching this weight-and BIG CONGRATS ON THAT BABY!!!!!
