I have been drinking more water than I believe I ever have and on day 5 still only a loss of 2 pounds. Im eating half as much as I was and eating healthier and just not sure what it is that Im not doing right?
How much water is recommended to drink when on Phentermine? On day 5 and only lost 2lbs?

I am in the same boat; I drink well over 120 ounces a day. What have you found that works for you? I fear I am drinking too much water, and my body is storing it.

One pound per week is the perfect amount so you are ahead of the game.! It’s recommending to drink half your body weight in ounces of water.

Hello StephanieNelson1978. Theres really no limit to the amount of water you drink while taking Phentermine. That your weight loss is small, is how the drug is working for you. Some people lose large amounts of weight, others seemingly little. It truly effects everyone differently. Good wishes and health to you,pledge
