Using additional weight loss methods in conjunction with the Band

[notateechanow 7]

I tried Alli before the band...and never had any dumping. I think everyone reacts differently. It has similar ingredients to the Orlistat used in the chips and other snack foods. With that said, I swear I felt like I was taking a placebo. I intentionally loaded up on fatty foods one night, just to see if it really worked, with nothing happening. I took an entire bottle of it but never lost weight and no effects. I managed to pick up nearly 12 pounds since school started and was thinking of taking Alli to help me out. Now I realize what a stupid thought it was....what I truly need to do is get back to the gym, eating properly, and sleeping every night. Somehow I just pictured that this struggle would get easier after a few years.....but it hasn't. I'm still the same person, just smaller. Good luck to all of you. I hope you're able to find something that works for you. :w00t:
