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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
