Hoodia anyone??



Recommended Posts

Personally, I got the band so I'd never have to "go there" anymore.

So did I..my band worked amazingly well for me..however I ERODED and am now bandless. I lost over 100 lbs with my band in 19 months and Iam damed and determined to not gain this weight back so Iam willing to "go there" again to prevent it from happening and so far so good, today was my frist day with the hoodia and it has worked amazingly well for me..I have had controlled hunger and no jitters all day long, it was the best eating day I have had in weeks..I'm happy.

Everyone is different and things work differently for each individual..had I still have my band I would not need the hoodia, but bandless there is a huge difference in my hunger and cravings..it is incredible how well the band works.. the obsessi9on for food for me was literally gone when I had my band I was just unfortunate to have mine erode but I'm happy with the results I achieved with it..no doubt..reality is though it's gone and hunger is back...

You gotta do what ya gotta do! Every man (or woman) for himself. If I thought it would work in conjunction with my band, I'd try it, why not, I've tried everything else.

I think Hoodia is different than Metabo- whatever...it's been used in Africa for a zillion years by tribes people. I can't wait to hear how La Madam does on it...

Sure, I'm banded, but that doesn't mean that I'm not hungry.

Hey Michelle... hows the Hoodia working????

I told my friend about it and she went and bought some today at the local health food store. She and I found ANOTHER reason to try hoodia....

http://www.vitaminlife.com/product-exec/PNAME/Hoodia_Gordonii__Lab_Authenticated_/product_id/44995

in this link, this is what it says...In addition to eliminating hunger and suppressing the appetite Hoodia also seems to boost energy levels and counteract depression, some folks even report aphrodisiac-like qualities. The efficacy of Hoodia Gordonii has been established with a profound weight loss and a good emergent safety profile.

Ok, this sounds too good to be true. A pill that has it ALL. Eliminates hunger, gives energy, helps fight depression AND boost the sex drive?????

Im out the door... going buy a case of it. :bananajump:

Eliminates hunger, gives energy, helps fight depression AND boost the sex drive? That's enough to get me to shell out the $15.00 to order it. Mine is on the way.

Michelle, don't make me read through all these pages, tell me how Hoodia is working for you. Also, if you send me samples, I'll send you samples of Hydroxy Cut.

OKay my sister bought the stuff from GNC and it is inot working for her. No significant noticable decrease in hunger. She takes 2 capsules a day. She is pretty mad at me for talking her into buying it :grouphug::mad::P. She has been on them for 3 days:mad2: and it AIN'T working. It was 35.99 at GNC and it is called hoodia extreme I believe. I think I may have to give her the money back:money::bananajump::boxing:. I told her I heard about it being on 60minutes and she should definitely try it. It really is not working at all:ohwell:

Hey Dee Dee!

Tell your sister GNC will take it back if she has the receipt. Just tell them she is not satisfied. There may be some rules, but I've taken Protein powder back that was disqusting.

My closest friend also got the Pure Hoodia brand and says she takes 2 in the morning and it really kills her hunger completely. (she is not banded) She said she wont even take the next dose because she doesnt need it, that it just kills her appetite and doesnt make her jittery or anything. Maybe it depends on the brand and the exact ingredients? Or maybe it just works for some and not others, like so many other things. I ordered some and am waiting for it to get here. I hope it continues to give you an edge La Madam.

MIchele,

I'm so glad to hear this is working for you. Question....how big are these pills? Too big for someone with a band? Can they be crushed? ANy problem with stomach irritation?

Thanks

I definately agree that BRANDS have a lot to do with the way products work.

Chris,

from what Ive seen, Hoodia comes in different forms... liquid, veg. caps, and reg tablets. My friend bought some Hoodia on Friday at our local heath food store. SHE decided to get a SPRAY kind - spray on your tounge 15 minutes before you eat.

I asked her about it yesterday - and she is impressed with it. NO side affects so far, and NO appetite. :clap2:

Just letting you know that there are a couple of band friendly versions of Hoodia out there.

      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.
