Im 6 1/2 weeks out....Can I take a fat burner? I am starting to work out and I have a Protein Shake to drink but was also given a fat burner so I wanna make sure thats OK. Thanks in advance!

You should ask your Dr.

Keep your mind out of the "diet" mentality, and just let your sleeve do its job along with good eating habbits and exercise. I would be a little afraid of adding in diet junk chemicals on top of the surgery....Just my 2Cents...

I would just throw it away or sell it on Ebay, personally. You won't need it to lose weight. And you have no idea what's in it and how it's going to affect your body - it's an unregulated industry. Remember the phen-fen deaths?

I second (third) these recommendations.

Don't be impatient. Go to the gym, do your workout, and let your body do its own fat maintenance. I guarantee you that if you keep up with that, you'll lose a lot of fat -- fast -- without subjecting your poor stomach and digestive system to whatever's in those "fat burner" pills (most of them are just stimulants, which can be sort of hard on the sleeve).

Any time I have ever taken one of those fat burner things I have been sorry. The sleeve really does work. I know we want to speed things up... I know I sure do... but I concur with the others.... let the sleeve do its work.

take care
