I've been thinking about you La Madam & wondering how you're Hoodia has been working. Last I heard you lost 3 lbs. in one week. Anymore news? Just curious. I worry about you guys who had your bands taken out!!!

Kel... Because of your previous problems I would suggest that you ask your doctor before trying any herbal or OTC medication or supp. The Hoodia doesn't make my heart race like the Metablolite did but it does give me a feeling of chest pressure and leaves me feeling a little jittery. Promise me you ask your doc first...??????

Whew! I am a career worrier... thanks for easing my mind! :confused:

I had been under the impression that you need a passport now to get into Tijuana, and the costs of that, the trip, and the fill combined have made me resist scheduling an appointment. Now that I've ordered the hoodia spray, I find that the law for passports into Tijuana hasn't passed yet. Go figure.

ok so after about 4 months of no weight loss, and actually a few pound gain, I'm on day 3 of the hoodia spray. It seems to increase my restriction so far. That may or may not change once I take it a while, but so far it's helping. I purchased mine on ebay, at about $6.99 plus $5 shipping. It recommends 3 sprays 30 minutes before a meal. I also get the diet pill jitters a little bit. I'm only using it once a day so far, first thing in the morning. I am prone to cardiac pvc's with too much caffeine or lack of sleep so I was a little worried this would cause it too. It hasn't yet.

Is it still working for any of you?

Did anyone else have the experience of taking Hoodia and it making them much, much hungrier? I did! I took it pre-band, and even tried about four different brands. Every brand had the same effect: I was STARVING about one half hour after I took it. I mean, it was like it had the EXACT opposite effect on me! I kept trying different brands, hoping one would work, but I ended up eating way more each time I took it, and actually gained weight. It was bizarre, like someone switched on a hunger switch in my brain. I became ravenous and could not stop eating. I have even done Web searches on this, but all I can find is people who love it and who it works for. Oh well... (it was actually one of my "last straws" before signing up for the band seminar, so maybe it did some good in the long run!)
