Calling All Veterans

I have been wondering this for awhile. I know that with healthy eating, exercise, and the sleeve, you will lose weight..I am living proof of that. However as your weight loss slowed, did you try medications or supplements, ei Ally, phentermine, hoodia, ect ect to help your progress along? Thought I would put it out there. Thanks for your answers in advance.

I think if you do your research on these, you will find they really will not help you. These are for *normies*. Are you looking to curb your appetite? Shouldn't need to with the sleeve. Looking for malabsorption? Wouldn't recomend it to a sleever.

It will happen for those who keep doing the right thing. This is not a race, is it? Do you win anything for getting to goal 2 months sooner?

For me, learning better habits and exercising not only accelerated my weight loss, but has made me healthier overall. I don't think taking supplements would do that for me.

You know..that was my thoughts too. Having already loss 93# from exercise and healthy eating and my sleeve I feel I don't need any of the above mentioned. I was just curious. I would be interested in knowing if it was more prevalent use than is admitted too. Thanks for your input!

There was a posting on here about chia seeds. That when you eat them, they swell up and make you feel full all day. I didn't try them bc I believe with the little we eat already, my body will let go of the weight with time. :)

I bet they are used by sleevers, for sure. I think, for a lot of us, when we make the decision to have this done, we want the weight off yesterday. Patience is a difficult thing, for sure.
