myalli fat blocker?



Recommended Posts

On the Myalli website, they recommend taking a change of clothes with you because of the "treatment effects" (in other words SIDE effects) because of the oily "discharge".

No, thanks!

Eeeewwwww....that is SO gross!!! Perhaps I'll rethink this! I'm already eating low fat...how much can it really help beyond that? I don't want to have to buy depends...I don't think they make them in my size!!!! hahahaha!! Guess we women could always put a sanitary napkin on the back end of our panties! LOL

First of all can you beleive they actually want you to consume that much fat with each meal??????

When I was on the diabetic association diet, we were allowed 3 exchanges of fat PER DAY. My oldest daughter has a weight issue as well, and started this week on this drug. I personally think it should not be allowed to be sold over the counter, because young people and old alike may have other issues affecting them that is going to affect there health.

I am on Bontril which is what I was on before, and it is helping me prior to getting my first fill, and my doctor said it was ok...

I just wanted to warn people about the danger of this so called 'safe' FDA approved drug. I took it two weeks ago and was only on it for 4 days before I developed a severely high fever. I already at or near at my goal weight and eat a low fat diet but got extremely sick. I immediately associated the fever with the pills and quit taking them but the fever remained. I missed work all last week, thinking I had came down with the flu because my symptoms mimicked them (fever, body aches, chills, sweats, etc). I also had horrible oily stools that started on day 3 from taking the Alli pills, even though I didn't eat over the recommended 15grams of fat per meal that they allow you to eat. I called the Alli corp center and explained what was going on and they are in the process of giving me a full credit, saying that getting a fever from the pills is not normal. Well, my fever wouldn't go away and after missing 4 days of work I was getting restless, annoyed and worried. No matter how much Tylenol Flu, advil, fever reducing medicine took my fever wouldn't dissipate. So I went to the ER on Saturday and it turns out that I at first contracted a UTI (urinary tract infection) but it progressed and went into my kidneys. It wa so severe that she told me that I would of had to been hospitalized had I not of gone in when I did. I never had any burning when I peed or anything like that. Those pills are evil. Basically you poo and pee orange grease and that crud got caught up in my urethra, then my kidneys. I just wanted to warn others that may be thinking of taking them that they can potentially kill you and are dangerous. My infection in my kidneys was very bad and I am just now starting to feel normal again, after a week of heavy antibiotics and lots of Water to flush them out. And that was only after 4 days of MyAlli!!! I only hope that they go off the market soon so other women don't get sick. I have never had a UTI in my life and dont' get sick because I eat right and work out and the moment I take these pills I am severely ill. Just a heads up fellow bandsters!! I am back to sticking to my diet/exercise regimen to maintain my weight.

I am so sorry you have been so ill and I'm glad that you are feeling some better (and that Alli is giving you a full refund).

But I am sort of lost as to how a fat blocking pill can give you an infection? I can't see how that's possible.

Did the doctors say they thought you might have had a UTI brewing and they believe the Alli contributed to it? Eeek!

I have just started on these pills and am having pretty good success. I am a very slow loser and have tried just about everything to start losing weight again after a long stall. I only take one with supper and have never had a "problem" however I eat pretty low fat. Reading the material that comes with them it says it blocks 25% of fat. I have lost 2 pounds this week!!!! It has been months since I have done that! This is alot of weight for me to lose and I have done nothing different! Check out e-bay they sell them for alot less than in the stores. I have no side effects and feel less hungery. E-mail me if you have questions.

I don't care for Jenny Craig or WW either. Lots of people do very well on them but as soon as they go off the weight comes right back on.

WLS means a lifestyle change. Overhauling your diet so you don't need WW and JC.

      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!!
