Hello fellow lapbanders!

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of the weightloss "drug" Ace? I'm not a fan of weightloss pills in the slightest, but I have heard this is a natural way to assist in the body burning fat. A friend mentioned it to me yesterday and said that she has dropped 2-3 dress sizes since the summer has started when she began taking Ace. I googled it and didn't really find any detailed information on this product as far as if it's an appetite suppressant or just a Vitamin type thing. I'm hoping she isn't taking anything that would harm her body. Any info anyone has on it would be great to hear for research's sake. Thanks!

It's got a lot of stimulants in it, including caffeine and cocoa. It also has about 400% of the recommended B6- which can lead to nerve damage in the arms and legs.

Here's a great breakdown of it. My personal opinion? I wouldn't touch it.

Yeah, I'm with Mis. Stay away from it! Just reading all the caffeine in it, I'm already having palpitations. I found this link with a bunch of info...

I had taken it for a week or so before I got my Lapband on track. It's definitely the "new" thing to try around the area where I live. I couldn't tell a huge difference, but didn't take it long. I have heard it works quickly, but I'm sure there are always side effects. I have someone left I could sure stand to take for a jump start.

I wouldn't do it either. the problem with wl pills is that the minute you stop taking it you risk the chance of gaining it back double.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
