Medication/ supplements I take

So I wanted to share what medication I take and the supplements I take as well and why.

Lemme debloat: I decided to give these a try because my cousin and us been through two bottles of these and said that they worked really well for her so I am currently testing my first bottle. I would say I noticed a small difference of not being so bloated in the morning, but I will let you guys know after I finish the bottle.

Vitamin D: currently I am taking vitamin D because I had some blood work done and it showed that I was deficient so my doctor recommended that I take some vitamin D supplements. I have a six month in January to see if my levels have gone up. I am also hoping that this will help with leg pain that I’ve been having, since I’m assuming I was lacking calcium.

Liver capsules: i’ve been taking these for a while. I haven’t finished the bottle that I got yet so I can’t give a full review but they are supposed to be filled with iron and vitamin B. I take them to detox my liver to aid in mineral absorption and to give me an energy boost.

Medication that I take - little background, I was on BC for three year I gained around 50-70 can’t remember how much exactly but it was a lot. I got my nexaplon removed last year in October. Come to find out during the removal procedure that it was put in wrong (“old school technique”) which cause it to be slanted. The whole experience was a very cry laugh moment and a never again for sure. But I decide to lose weight once I was off my BC so come November I started working out constantly, tracking my calories and at first I lost weight but then I gained it all back and after only lost three pound and I was stuck at the same weight for about 2 month so after seven months of consistency I went to the doctor for help.

Phentermine: A controlled weight loss that I take with topiramate to help me in my weigh loss journey. They help with feeling full and appetite suppressor

Topiramate: I take this with phentermine to help in weigh loss. They help with feeling full and appetite suppressor

Lisinopril: Around a year ago I was shown to have high blood pressure and I was having some chest pain I was put onto diltiazem but was recently switch to this lower dosage and more “normal” too take since my blood pressure is looking good now, I was told taking my blood pressure daily even though my pressure has come down is still good for me.

Metformin: I was diagnosed as pre diabetic a year when I was getting blood work done my A1C level was at a 6.1, upon return in may for my check up we ran my A1C level again and I was down to a 5.2 which is in range of normal. My doctor told since I’m not pre diabetic anymore metformin is still good to take to aid in weight loss as well.

It been 4 months since taking Phentermine and Topiramate and I’ve lost 23 lb but I also going to the gym consistently, cut back on my calories, consuming more protein. I have about 25 more lbs till I reach my goal.

But I’m happy to say I’ve come a long way from a year ago to now. Proud of myself of reaching out and asking for help and improving my health for me.
