Has anyone taken "HYDROXYCUT" after VSG surgery?



Recommended Posts

I was wanting to know if anyone has taken Hydroxycut after having VSG Surgery ? One would think that ater surgery there would be no need for a dietpill. However I can not seem to lose the last 10 lbs!!! No matter how much Water or exercise I still can't seem to make the scale move or measure smaller with the tape measure. Thanks for you input !!

You want to take diet pills to lose 10 lbs? Do you plan on staying on them for life? How many people do you know that have taken diet pills, and kept the weight off for good? I think what it all boils down to is, lifestyle changes and choices. If diet pills were a successful option half us us wouldn't be member of this site. Hard work is never easy. You have the sleeve use that tool, you are proof positive that it works.

I took them a long time ago before surgery - all they did was make me feel sick and make my heart race. Don't do it! Your body may have found a set point where it is happy... Have you tried working with weights? May not help the scale number, but would help with the measurements. :)

I don't think this is a good idea. I drank it years ago and felt like i was going to pass out the way my heart was pumping. Yes i lost a few lbs but as soon as i stopped i gained it all back and more in very little time. It doesn't work. I suggest you speak to the NUT or your doctor.

All those thermogenics do is turn up the heat in your body, and increase your heart rate. They're absolutely not a healthy alternative to buckling down, cleaning up your diet and getting to work is what it's going to take.

I personally wouldn't take diet pills... Maybe you are where you are supposed to be on your weight loss journey. I've been reading that sometimes the body stops at its own ideal weight. So maybe that could be where you are!

Good luck :-)

I think everyone should be free to use whatever aids they feel will help them in achieving their goals. No need to condone anyone if they decide to use hydroxycut or some other diet pill. A warning might be OK if you feel such a diet pill is dangerous or detrimental, but no parenting please. We are all adults and live in a free society ( for now). This means we can do what we please if it is not illegal, dangerous or harming someone else.

Haven't used it but i use other site

aids. I think it's worth a shot to try it and see if it helps those last few pounds. If you get it from GNC and save the receipt you can take it back if you find you have any unwanted side effects. :)

      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!!
