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. :)

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
