Hey all, the other night i was sitting in bed watching tv, and one of those paid programming things came on. It was about a program by a Bariatric Surgeon called Amaze Rx. It said that all the people they had shown on it, had Lap Band surgery, and were doing this Amaze Rx, which is like shakes you drink. It claims, you can lose 1 pound a day. Im just wondering if anyone has heard of this first of all, and second if anyone has tried it and does it work/is it worth it? If any of you all could let me know, Id appreciate it. Thanks All. Hope you all are having a good weekend! OHHHH and Dont forget to watch the DAYTONA 500 tomorrow! Who do you think will win? Im betting on Kasey Kahne....(sp?). Anyways Bye all.

That is how you know it's all bullcrap. Please don't fall for another fad diet/shake/pill/supplement/"program"/"system." If there were truly a way to lose a pound a day, it would be all over the news channels and there would be success stories left, right, and center. (Other than those on the paid commercial of course.)

Never heard of it. I would be skeptical.

So, your a Kasey fan? There are a few people on here that would quickly agree with you. I know that mychevygirl lives in the state of Washington kind of close to his home town. Personally, we are Stewart fans in our home. You should join us at the NASCAR thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/r-u-nascar-t15933p6.html Just about every driver is covered with a LBT member. It's fun.

Can't wait for Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!!

I'm having lap-band surgery on 5/29. My doctor suggested Amaze RX until then to reduce the size of my liver & to reduce the fat around the organs. Apparently doctors have to go around the liver to install the band. I've been using the Amaze RX since last Tuesday (5/6) & I've lost six pounds since. I'm not accusing it of being a laxative, but it does affect the digestive system, if you know I mean. All I'm saying is make sure all restrooms are mapped out just in case. (more important than fire exits unless that's your style?)

It'll be the same as any other very low calorie liquid diet - OK for shrinking your liver and losing some weight very fast (assuming its nutritionally balanced), but useless for long term weight loss and maintenance. And a lapband doesnt necessarily help you stick to a very rigid diet like that anyway, I can tell you right now, my husband wants me to do Optifast with him to support him and I would find it as hard now as I ever would have.

One thing that I found so freeing when I decided to get a lap band was to be finally freed from the siren song of amazing weight loss gimmicks. Yes, I knew intellectually that they wouldn't work, but occasionally I would try them. Now I can just kick them to the curb cause I'm doing better than they advertise and the power to lose weight is between my ears and not in some one's cash register. Power to the people! :cry_smile:

Did anyone try the mayo clinic diet? I hate bacon. If their is a worse diet for me I don't know what it...but I did it anyway. And the grapefruit diet, and jenny craig, and weight watchers, and the worse one to me- LA weight loss- what a money pit THAT was.

The slim fast diet, nutrisystems, south beach, Atkins.< /p>

I have to say my favorite one was weight watchers. I actually lost weight on that one and kept it off for a while. I lost 30lbs on nutrisystems once.

      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!!
