Hoodia anyone??



Recommended Posts

Anyone ever hear of Hoodia?

sleep.< /p>

Would love to hear others opinions on this or if any of you have tried it or heard of it. For me it is worth a try at this point. I refuse to gain this weight back !!!!

How do you order it? How much is it?!!!

Sounds very interesting, and I'd try it in a heartbeat unless someone could convince me otherwise. Anyone heard or experienced anything negative?

I don't know much about Hoodia, but my PCP told me about a new drug coming out soon called rimonabant. It is supposed to stop food cravings and can even help smokers quit. I still feel the band if the way for me, but this new med may be helpful to some. ~Good Luck~ regardless of what you decide to do. I'm sure it is difficult to be without your band.

i have tried hoodia. it does take hunger away. i usually take two in the morning and im good to go. sometimes if i know im going somewhere that i know will be tempting i will take another one. it seems to do the trick. of course you still have to have some type of control because otherwise you really could keep eating. but give it a try. i got mine on ebay.

So I've used it. I get it at the Health food Store. I used it quite a bit when I first got my band and was adjusting to the new way of eating and on liquids only.

I'm super over sensitive to drugs and I have to say, this didn't bother me at all, which is a good sign.

It worked REALLY well right at first. Super well. I was very happy with it. But I found over time that it takes more and more to keep the same good effect. I think I realized when I was taking ten capsules at a time that this just wasn't working anymore. It worked great while it worked then it ceased working at all.

Good luck with it.

Isn't this the stuff Anna Nicole Smith is selling on those TV commercials? I say if it works for you, go for it, but I'm not feeling very certain that she lost 150 with TrimSpa (Hoodia is the main ingredient)...

According to the article link LaMadam posted, Trimspa barely has any hoodia in it and it's really false advertising. Check it out, since I just breezed through that part...but Anna didn't lose her weight with TrimSpa, IMO!!! :omg:

I bowl with a lady who recently lost weight and looks great. She was using the hoodia and says she loves it!

hello all. Just a heads up, I wouldn't waste your money on the hoodia. I researched it and purchased the brand that was guaranteed to be authentic. My friend and I both tried it and it didn't curb either of our appetites. Maybe you'll have better luck though.

Sounds like just another gimmick diet pill that perhaps you can lose on for awhile, but will gain it all back. Just my opinion, which isn't worth a whole lot, except I've tried most everything on the market.

Michelle,

Ive heard of it - and knew it was sold at the Health food Stores... thats about all I know.

When should you get yours in?

Heck, give us the ordering info - we can ALL try this together and compare notes. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
