Need info about It Works! wraps



Recommended Posts

Good morning! I am wondering if any banders have tried the It Works! wraps to help lose fat and inches. I am almost 7 months post surgery and have lost nearly 60 pounds. I am looking into the It Works! wraps as an additional tool to help me meet my goals. If you know anything about using these with a band, please share!

well from what i understand, the wraps help you lose (Water weight) and not real inches/pounds lost

to lose weight you must eat less calories than you burn off..but if you like it, then use it....

As I understand it, the results are temporary. Just trust your band, follow doctors orders and you will be fine without the extra expense. IMHO

My doctor said you either will or will not have sagging skin. He never said but if you try the wraps. Mis made a really good post while ago about the wraps. Something like they have diruretics in them and they draw out a lot of Water. Hopefully she will reply to this post.

I would like to know more about these also, have friends who sell them and being inundated from acquaintances on Facebook. They swear it is not a temporary Water loss. Hope we have some people that know more than me. hugs

My guess is that this is like a "hillbilly lapband" it causes restriction and won't let your stomach expand beyond a certain level.

I cannot see the point of combining them though. You are already far more restricted with the band than what this could ever do.

Again, just my guess...

If you want to lose pounds and inches, why not just do it the legitimate way-cut your food intake and exercise more? You didn't have WLS as a quick fix so why waste your money on another gimmick?

I just don't get it...

      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.
