Hello

I was wondering has anyone taken diet pulls to help with the hungry before you get a fill?

why do that?

just eat more Protein..eat fruit/veggies and drink alot

that will help more than any pill

I'm curious.....why you're asking, since you haven't had your surgery yet?

Learning to live with the band will always require control. There will be times when you want to eat right through it. This is a time to learn new behavior, and reaching for diet pills when it gets tough, isn't the healthy way to go. Mind you, I'm not saying that I don't completely understand that thought process......I took diet pills on and off for many years. But in the end, they did not fix me.

If you are preparing for what you've heard is coming, my suggestion is to try & focus on other ways to get through the difficult times. Fill or no fill, those times will happen. This is a whole new way of life, and I'm guessing you're having surgery because all else has failed (including the pills). You can do this on your own, if you follow the rules and eat the way your doctor recommends. It's certainly not easy, but what things worth working for in life are?

Good luck!
