Still hungry/think diet pills will help



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone in here has taken appetite suppresant pills after being banded. I find that I am always hungry and am wondering if in addition to being banded and trying to eat right, will taking diet pills help me not be so hungry all the time. If any one has been successful at this please give us your story.

How much fill do you have? I think that before you start going back to the old style of dieting, you should discuss your hunger with your doctor. Discuss the use of diet pills with your doctor while you're there.

I'm with Stitchy - sounds like you need a fill.

I think that you will find you do not need a diet pill when you get the correct restriction (fill). Since reaching good restriction (it took 2 fills for me) I have never been hungry. I can have 2 meals a day (lunch and dinner) and about 3/4 c. of coffee in the morning and I am fine - never hungry. On occassion I will have a snack, but I could do without it.

I started taking my old Phentermine a few days ago to stave off the hunger. Idon't get my 1st fill until next Thursday, so just trying not to gain anymore weight until then.

It does sound like you might need a fill, but I have started taking a Hoodia suppliment daily. I'm tight enough that I can eat a decent bandster meal and not be hungry for a few hours afterwards, but the hoodia helps with the grazing and the head hunger. It's almost bizarre, because I'll feel like I've been thinking about food all day, but realize it's been 5 hours or so since my last meal and I hadn't been thinking about food at all during most of that time.

My sister is losing on trim spa (but only ever had 20 lbs at the most to lose) and hoodia is the main ingredient. To anyone considering trim spa, I would just say to look at the ingredients and buy something similar, because trim spa is like 40 bux for 15 days if you take it like the bottle says.

I was thinking of trying that trim spa, mainly for the energy diet pills like that give me a kick of energy, energy that I have been recently lacking...Now some of them can make me jittery and I don't like that feeling at all... I'll try it and see I also deal with head hunger..Like last night we rented a movie on the TV and I wanted popcorn we didn't have any and it just about drove me crazy watching a movie with out eating something...Talk about habits I need to break! UGG...

      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.
