Advocare 24-day Challange



Recommended Posts

I was curious if anyone has done this, especially post lap-band? Someone gave me a sample of the Spark drink and I tried it today and loved it. I think there are pills involved in the 24-Day Challenge so I don't really know how feasible it is at this point.

I actually started it Monday and by Wednesday morning I was down 2.8lbs so I cant complain!! However, being a lap-band patient you have to really be committed as there are a lot of big pills involved. All of the pills can be cut or crushed (minus one) it can just be time consuming. Being that there is one pill that cannot be cut/crushed it has to be substituted for another product so everything has to be purchased separately vs buying the bundle. It is not a huge deal nor is it really more expensive, you just have to know what to get :) Hope this helps, if I can answer any more quested just let me know!!

i am not banded yet, but i am an Advocare distributor myself and have done the 24 day challenge. i lost 15 pounds on it. Advocare is an awesome product, i will be using the Meal Replacement shakes post surgery, and adding the Protein Shots into it. i love my Advocare!!....good luck can't wait to hear how well you did...also if you take the Catylist it will help shrink up loose skin...and those pills can be opened so you can mix them into a spark drink.

I have yet to hear a bad thing about AdvoCare! Yes - I am taking the Catalyst...I wish they were all capsules like that! I have been taking the Spark since May and love it. I was doing the 5 hour energy drinks, but could not sleep. No issue with the Spark. I had been debating on the 24-day challenge for a while and after talking to yet another friend who tried it and hearing how much better she felt I decided why not! I don't really need it for the weight loss, have my band for that so that is just an added bonus, I just want to feel better! So far I do so its a win win

I was banded 11/9/12 and only lost 48lbs. I'm actually starting to gain back......

I have Facebook friend who swears by Advocare. She has lost 70 pounds since January.....4 months!!!

She sent me the link and told me to order through her but I haven't ordered yet because I wanted to get on here and see if any other banded people have tried Advocare and what were your results.

Thanks

I use the spark all the time and LOVE it! I have done the cleanse twice and lost 3lbs each time. Most of their pills are huge though and there are a lot, especially in the 24-day challenge. So it got to be to much. Some of them can't be crushed or cut up either so you need to be mindful of that.

I did the 24 day challenge about a year ago (before being banded). I personally think it's just one of those things for people to make money. I lost 7pounds and was sick the whole time. I wouldn't suggest it post op because they pills are HUGE! And a lot of them you can buy over the counter without paying the "advocare" cost.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
