My personal opinion is ephedrine is not a good idea. It makes my heart race.

DO NOT DO IT!!.. It may help a little with weight loss but the side effects are horrible it will cause crazy mood swings, raise your blood pressure give you heart palpitations and can cause heart attacks and is also very very addictive and many many other things.

I had a friend who had to go to rehab because he was so addicted to ephedrine.

Please just give yourself sometime to adjust to your new stomach and focus on getting in Water and Protein. The weight will come off.

It took some time to gain the weight and it will take time for it to come off.

Don't take ephedrine! It is really harmful. My aunt was hooked on it and ended up with an enlarged heart because of it. She also developed liver issues from prolonged use and now needs a transplant.

You will lose the weight if you have been sleeved. you need to be patient and just follow your doctor's instructions. You don't want to do something that may cause you to have a heart attack. Why is there a hurry to lose the weight? You don't want tp take anything or do anything that will put you at risk. The weight doesn't come off overnight. Perhaps you should go talk with a therapist if ou are thinking about taking this drug to see why you feel that way.

DO NOT USE EPHEDRINE. I took yellowjacket pills in the years of about 2000-2002 and was totally hooked on them because they contained ephedrine! it took me getting pregnant to stop using them! I was hooked on them and I'm VERY lucky that I didn't get heart problems or other issues. It caused me to feel cracked out, way hyper, and addictive. Trust me, it is NOT worth it! The weight loss from the sleeve is sufficient!

Sally, don't concentrate on skinny. You should be concentrating on healthy. This is not a short-term solution; it's forever. You will lose the weight, but you need to be healthy once you get to goal. The bonus is that you will get to live longer at the lower weight. If you work out and follow the recommended eating plan, you WILL get there and you will feel fantastic. What good is getting skinny if you lose your life over taking something to speed the process? Also, if you lose at a more natural rate, you'll have less issues with loose skin.

Good luck! :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
