What are everyone's ideas on taking a weight loss pill/appetite suppressors/metabolism boosters while being banded????

anybody tried the alli diet pills?? Just curious... All I take is my multivitamin and calcium.

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:

how long does it take pills to activate...how long before you work out,do u take them

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.
