  1. 1. My feelings about pills/supplements/boosters...

    • Isn't that the point of the band? I won't take them. That is why I got this band!!!
      75
    • I don't think it is good to take them, but I am not opposed to the idea.
      67
    • I take them on occasion.
      37
    • I take pills/supplements/suppressors/boosters regularly to promote and give my weight loss an added edge along with the tool of my band. Why not make the most of the situation?

anybody tried the alli diet pills?? Just curious... All I take is my multivitamin and Calcium.< /div>

I would imagine the only people that are willing to take Alli are those willing to wear adult diapers. That is some nasty stuff. People here have horror stories about taking that drug. It used to be Xenical.

My friend is taking Alli. It was very difficult in the beginning for her to maintain control of her bodily functions due to the effects of those pills. She has described what it does in gross detail so I'm not sure that I'd like to spend my day in the potty. It gets really bad if you eat anything with more than 15 grams of fat. Well that's just about everything that isn't a healthy choice :0)

I take a general multivitamin and cacium for bone health as is recommended for most folks. Also take the prescription pills my Dr orders.

What kind of problems did you have before the band was removed? I had mine since 10-10-2007 and have only lost 40 pounds. Very disapointed in the results

I take a multi and did LONG before I ever got the band. As to appetite suppressants, if you think they work long term I have some land in florida to sell you.......and there's a fee for posting here you need to send me directly! :juggle:

Vitamins and minerals are prescribed by my doctors for good health. Example: 4000 units of D a day to treat a deficiency.

My concise opinion of appetite suppressants and diet aids: AAARRRGGHHHHHH!

C'mon, have they ever worked permanently for you before? What makes you think they'll work any better now? Diet aids are a zillion dollar a year racket that take advantage of the desparate.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
