My personal opinion is ephedrine is not a good idea. It makes my heart race.

DO NOT DO IT!!.. It may help a little with weight loss but the side effects are horrible it will cause crazy mood swings, raise your blood pressure give you heart palpitations and can cause heart attacks and is also very very addictive and many many other things.

I had a friend who had to go to rehab because he was so addicted to ephedrine.

Please just give yourself sometime to adjust to your new stomach and focus on getting in Water and Protein. The weight will come off.

It took some time to gain the weight and it will take time for it to come off.

Don't take ephedrine! It is really harmful. My aunt was hooked on it and ended up with an enlarged heart because of it. She also developed liver issues from prolonged use and now needs a transplant.

You will lose the weight if you have been sleeved. you need to be patient and just follow your doctor's instructions. You don't want to do something that may cause you to have a heart attack. Why is there a hurry to lose the weight? You don't want tp take anything or do anything that will put you at risk. The weight doesn't come off overnight. Perhaps you should go talk with a therapist if ou are thinking about taking this drug to see why you feel that way.

DO NOT USE EPHEDRINE. I took yellowjacket pills in the years of about 2000-2002 and was totally hooked on them because they contained ephedrine! it took me getting pregnant to stop using them! I was hooked on them and I'm VERY lucky that I didn't get heart problems or other issues. It caused me to feel cracked out, way hyper, and addictive. Trust me, it is NOT worth it! The weight loss from the sleeve is sufficient!

Sally, don't concentrate on skinny. You should be concentrating on healthy. This is not a short-term solution; it's forever. You will lose the weight, but you need to be healthy once you get to goal. The bonus is that you will get to live longer at the lower weight. If you work out and follow the recommended eating plan, you WILL get there and you will feel fantastic. What good is getting skinny if you lose your life over taking something to speed the process? Also, if you lose at a more natural rate, you'll have less issues with loose skin.

Good luck! :)

      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.
