Hi. My name is skinnyginny and I am addicted to diet pills. I have been sober for 56 days.

Okay, I'm not really addicted but good golly it feels great to no longer see new diet pill ads and wonder, 'maybe this one will work.' I'M FREE!

WTG! You are on a better path.

Hey adeltaflower! How are things going for you post-op?

I wonder how much money I've spent on diet pills in my lifetime. Probably thousands of dollars!

Diet pills, medically supervised weight loss programs, Jenny Craig, miracle foods...

Yep I'm a sucker

Me too. Not pills tho....

Me too! That got me thinking and maybe I should start a new thread for those debating on whether or not they should self pay. But, I've saved a lot of money with the sleeve! Going out to eat used to be around 300 a month. That's 3600 a year! My grocery bill has gone down about 30 a week. That's 360 a yr. Who knows what I've waisted on diet fads. I've always taken vitamins so that wasn't an extra expense. Being fat is expensive!

I'd say its a good thing I'm eating less because my son is beginning to eat like a teenager he's killing our grocery bill!!

diet pills were on my Christmas wish list. ????

I completely agree! I'm self-pay and I figure that I've spent so much money over the years on pills and programs and portion-control-foods that at some point, the sleeve will eventually pay for itself. You name it, I've done it. A few months ago I put together a list of all the stuff I've tried over the years and it sickened me to see how much was there. Thousands of $$ wasted.
