La_madam 20 Posted January 28, 2006 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 !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruthie 2 Posted January 28, 2006 Sounds very interesting!! I'd love to hear how it works for you and others.... Thanks for the link! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the best me 6 Posted January 28, 2006 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandra 55 Posted January 28, 2006 I think I saw this product in a CVS store not too long ago. Isn't it in OTC products now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3loves 0 Posted January 28, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ASPHALT ANGEL Posted January 28, 2006 Where did you order yours from? I sure hope it works for you. Let us know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ethansgrandma 0 Posted January 28, 2006 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.

giveyouthemoon 4 Posted January 28, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youknowit 11 Posted January 28, 2006 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)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the best me 6 Posted January 28, 2006 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amy_kf 0 Posted January 28, 2006 I bowl with a lady who recently lost weight and looks great. She was using the hoodia and says she loves it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzi D 0 Posted January 28, 2006 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. Suzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dody 0 Posted January 28, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted January 28, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
