Beginning of the Journey

I am 27 years old, married, and am the proud father of 3 young boys (5 years, 19 months, and 9 weeks). I have gone on diet after diet and have done well on almost everything I've tried. The problem is I get bored with the same ole foods and the same ole lifestyle after a while. Now that I'm within 10 pounds of gaining back the last 60 pounds that I've lost, it's time for something to happen and I need it to be permanent. I now have serious sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight induced low testosterone, and GERD. I knew that I couldn't do it on my own. I could for a while, but it wouldn't be permanent and usually when I gain my weight back it comes back with a vengence and it's usually even more than what I weighed before. I finally decided to look for doctors in my area that focused on weight loss, and the first one I found was covered under my insurance so I made an appointment. That appointment was today. He introduced the Phentermine to me. He told me to take one 37.5 mg pill in the morning instead of breakfast, eat a frozen dinner no earlier than noon, and then eat around 600 calories in the evening. No snacks all day. Tomorrow morning starts Day 1 and we'll see how it goes.
