since the other thread got shut down by a bunch of bandsters gone wild I'll post my comment to Yummi here.

You said in the other thread "maryrose thanks for the advice i will look into more. I really was hoping someelse had tried it b/c it is much cheaper then the bodybug which i did consider. but at the same time, when is enough enoughl what other drastic measures do i need to take to lose weight. i need to join the challenge but i`m so slow i don`t know how to join the thanksgiving challenge. i`m computer illerate."

How are you comparing the bodybug (the arm band that keeps track of weight loss and calories etc) to taking Alli? I don't understand that. If you had the bodybug then that'd be used with exercise. Alli has nothing to do with that.

If you wanted bodybug then why don't you just set yourself up a workout routine instead of going on the Alli?

Just curious.

Losing weight with lapband doesn't happen over night...but it does happen. You'll see :confused:

Good luck!

I didn't follow that thread, but I would think the bodybugg would be more of a longterm solution. I'd rather learn how to exercise for my caloric intake than learn how to avoid even the HEALTHIEST of fats to include lean fish cooked in olive oil. That was what turned me off of Alli when it first came out.

BTW - you can look into Actitrainer - it's similar to the Bodybugg, but cheaper. I got one. Just starting to learn how to use it.

Josette are you sure she was not comparing the bodybugg and an actitrainer? Just from the quote it sounds like that but then again i did not see the other thread. And as you said it seems very weird to compare a weight loss pill with a computerized device.

josette i am now taking alli and it works well i haven`t had any sudden accidents. I was doing it with the Atkins but it proved to be too much because i am eating a lot of fat. so starting today i will calorie count which i read seems to work better unless you are eating all the right Proteins. i will keep you posted on my success. I wasn`t comparing the body bug and alli i was just trying to use the one that would benefit me more financially and it is alli. I only brought the 60 day supply. i will try it. if i went to the extremes to have surgery then alli shouldn`t hurt. good luck and thanks

babygrl123 I was comparing the two price wise and nothing else. i know i probably don`t need it but i want it. If i can go to the extreme of going to Mexico i didn`t think that this would hurt. just tired of being impatient i know it will happen but i seem to one of the unlucky ones. just my luck to get surgery and loose weight slow. If i didn`t have bad luck id have none at all.

Gotcha. Like i said i didn't read the other thread and the comparison seemed kinda of out there but i see what you were getting at now.

As for the slower weight loss have you been keeping track of things as far as what you are eating and exercise? I know I hated keeping track of both and luckily the bodybugg has made that easier for me, but when I did keep track it helped in seeing the choices I was making and how they were working for me written down. Lower carb tends to work better for me and that showed in my weight loss compared to what I was eating. It is hard to be patient especailly when it comes to weight loss. Good luck in whatever you do.

      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.

      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!!
