  1. Well my opinion is there is different ways to go about it...we all have imagine issue and I don't think it's right how she went about trying to make me out to look like an idiot. All I'm saying is before you " think" you know what your about to express your opinion on do some research and don't throw un-true facts out there and make yourself look like the ignorant one. I mean have fun at taking pregnant women's urine? What a stupid stupid comment. "opinion" whatever you want to call it.
  2. A.frikin.men! Exactly my thoughts thanks for that!
  3. I would be a little more Leary about the whole thing if I wouldn't have found that website and read over and over on the forums just like these of people who do this and get their supplies from the same people and have wonderful success with it! I did my research trust me because I had to convince my husband to let me do them and if I change his mind about it then It has to be good lol. I'm telling you if your curious to read some stories about it go to Hcgdietinfo.com. Very interesting things!
  4. Cheri I def plan on coming back in a month to let y'all know good or bad!! The reason everyone in the USA is not skinny is because it is very expensive to go to the doctor to do this now between 300-1000 dollars FDA doesn't let you purchase it in the USA without a prescription but their are people who do you just have to find the right ones. I'm really not sure why they don't want people to have easier access to this but maybe that have their reasons but I don't understand what they are! But I'm excited and should get my stuff this week!
  5. K well imma do me and you do you! Just because it's something your mind can't understand doesn't mean others have to thing just like you. Some people are just close minded! It works just go the forum of the hcg and see who will be laughing then!! I am not saying I will live on hcg for the rest of my life dang! I just want a little boost! I only need to lose 30 more pounds and if there is something to help me get there faster so I can maintain then YES I am going to try it. Fad diet or not people are losing tons of weight on it and like I said earlier just because FDA says so don't mean it's true!!! Government has steered us wrong many many times hunny! I don't see how a horomone that pregnant women produce naturally is bad for you? I'm not going to sit here and try to prove my point to someone who has no valuable research on this subject so let's just leave it at that sweetie
  6. If you do have the research which I'm sure you havent!!! You would find people do have Great results ever people that have Lapband! Most say that they wouldn't even have got Lapband if they would have found out about hcg first! So go put them down and see where it gets ya!
  7. Lol! @ jess55 Ladies urine!? Why the Attitude and rudeness!? We are all here for one reason because we are FAT and want to lose weight so why be that way? Obvious you were curious of the hcg or you wouldn't have clicked on this post! Take that crap out of here and your sorry opinion to yourself! Who cares what other people do to lose weight? People think the Lapband is a big joke too but we know different? When I have success in the hcg thing and get to my goal weight I'll post pics and show you how fabulous this lady urine is! yummmmmy!
  8. And yes I agree with you on your last post! Research a little harder before you tell people it's fake and stupid cause when I looked it up I hear nothing but good coming from it!!! They say it gives you heart problems? Idk maybe it does but I haven't came across that information! And just because the FDA doesn't support it doesn't mean it's wrong...can we trust anything government these days? And lastly everything has side effects even the band! Most people have to have their gallbladder removed or develope esophagus problems from throwin up so much from not having the correct amount of fluid! I've even heard stories about people becoming bullemic from the Lapband! So there are plenty of stuff to knock on something you really don't know much about! I do know that it's a lot easier to regain your weight back if you don't Maintence correctly after hcg but that's with everything!!! Nothing is a miracle worker you have to work at everything if you want to succeed!
  9. How much have you lost off Lapband? I had my surgery July 20 2011! And im only down from 230 to 191 so roughly 39-40# I was on a month long plateau then I went to go for a fill and lost 10 pounds now I'm stuck again!! I need a little push!!!
  10. I ordered mine from whenhealthmatters.com because they are from the USA they are a little more pricey then the over seas place I was going to order from but I didn't want to wait for it to go through customs and it takes about 2 weeks to get! I would highly recommend going onto the hcg forum it's just like lapbandtalk but it's for hcg obviously lol Hcgdietinfo.com
  11. That's just it you don't starve. I have been reading up on this for 2 weeks now on hcgdietinfo.com it's a forum just like this one and there are nothing but success stories! Your not gonna lose your hair in 3-4 weeks its not something I have to do for the rest of my life it's just for 25 days. I just figured that if I did it and lost the remaining 35 pounds that I'm having trouble losing then I can just maintain it from then on. Im willing to give it a try! If it's not for me and my hair falls out well then i won't do it again and hair does grow back )
  12. That's good to hear you lost 65 lbs on it!! I just ordered my 25 day round and I was worried 25 wouldn't be enough, after I ordered it of course lol, but I just want to lose around 35 more pounds to be at goal so maybe 2 rounds of 25 day hcg will get me there! You are wanting all your fluid out?? I think after I get to my goal and stay there for a few months and maintain it I might try and get a little out cause i get stuck very easily right now so I find myself eating slider foods!!! I might just get a slight unfill!!!
  13. I ordered the HCG and I'm extremely excited about it! I can get down to my goal weight then I can maintain it by eating healthy and as long as I stick to the little portion and with having Lapband It should be simple as that! Dont hate on something you don't know anything about. Ever heard don't knock it before you try it? People say the same things about Lapband only because they don't know anything about it and just think its a quick fix and an easy way out...but as we all know here that is far from the truth!!!! So I think a little extra boost and help with a natural hormone won't hurt anyone!!!!
  14. Has anyone tried the hcg shots and got them online?
  15. So I have a friend, not banded, that ordered the 24 day advocare challenge...by day 20 she lost 10 pounds and a little over 10 inches!! Has anyone with the band tried this product?!?!? I am really thinking about do this!
  16. Wow that's so discouraging bluetigereyes! Are you going to get charged for any of it??!? And tym4me it seemed like I would be stuck at that one weight for the rest of my life! I was getting depressed I was thinking well this is the end for me now I have to really really work for the rest! I honestly thought I was already too tight because I could hardly get anything down but I was so wrong! I just decided I would try to get another fill and worse case senerio I would have to get an until so I took the chance and I'm glad I did! It will come in time! All you need is a few more fills I'm sure! Work out work out work out I promise the weight will fall off when you do! It did for me! Good luck!
  17. That is just horrible!!!!! I am so so sorry to hear that!! I couldn't imagine!!!! Did you get any news yet??
  18. How was your first fills ladies???
  19. I am 6 months out from surgery and I have only lost 36.6 pounds and I was stuck for over a month. My last fill before last Monday was back in sept 2011 And I just have gotten another fill before last week but I thought I was too tight already but all it was is that I was eating too fast and not chewing properly and not taking small bites...I knew I need the fill when I could handle eating a whole thing of nachos from taco bell and I was hungry all day long. Now I don't have the want to eat anything! But I make myself! It has taken me 6 months to get to my green zone and 5 fills so be patient and you will get there I promise you!! And if you find yourself hungry all day but your food is getting stuck then try chewing better eating smaller bites because you could need another fill! I have 7cc in a 10cc band so it does take awhile to get good restriction if you have a doc like mine who ony adds .5- 1cc each time. good luck!!!!
  20. I am happy to share that I finally went and got a fill last Monday, Jan 23,2012 and I was weighing in at 199 an today I stepped on the scale and I am 193.8!!! I finally broke my over a month long plateau!!!!! I really think this last fill put me in my green zone and i " Fill " wonderful! I'm hardly ever hungry even though I make myself eat something small but I don't have to eat hardly anything to get full!!! I dont even crave anything! So for all of you out there that are slow losers like me and think you are going to be stuck at your plateau weight or just think you have stalled and won't lose anymore there is hope I promise you! Don't give up and the scale will start moving I am sure of it because I was that person who thought well I didn't have much to lose so 30 pounds is all I'm capable of with the band when really i just needed another fill to help my appetite! If you have any questions just reply to this and I'll be happy to answer anything because I am on cloud 10 today!!! ))

  22. I had some soup earlier and I can tell the restriction has totally gotten better since my fill! I ate a little of it and feel full/satisfied! It's wonderful I hope it last though and it's not just because I'm swollen from the fill! Fingers crossed! I was the same way! Hungry all the time so I would just eat what I had in the house that would go down easy and keep me satisfied at the moment then 2 hrs later I was hungry again!!! What helps me is I set my phone alarm for every 2.5 hrs to make me eat something with protein in it and I felt fine doing that and wasn't just hungry all the time!!!! Good luck ladies and I hope that you can get a fill so you can have a good restriction soon!!!!!!
  23. Oh wow that is wonderful!!!! I have been at 198 for over a month now, startin weight 230 and I'm 5'7, this is my first fill since sept last year so im hoping I can get this weight to start going down again!!! It's so frustrating!!!! Thank you for your reply makes me look forward to something
  24. I've also plateaued I haven't lost anything for over a month!!!! I got another fill today so I'm hoping it will get me out of the rut and get things moving again! It frustrating when you plateau!
