I would be wary of diet pills, a lot of them contain caffeine which most docs say is a no-no for quite some time!

On the HCG note, I too am cautious to use something like that. I think I would try something more natural first. Injectables freak me out a little bit!

so i go to pharmacy and asj fir HCG?

is it its trade name?

In your country you may be able to pick up human chrionic gonadotropin straight from a pharmacy. It is an injectable through an insulin syringe and it has to be reconstituted with bariostatic Water prior to use and once reconstituted it only has a shelf life of 28 days.

It works for weightloss but you still have to follow the high protei/low carb diet to maximize its full potential. If you dont do it right it the weight does rebound. But since were sleeved, rebounding might not play a big part. Its worth a shot if your getting the real product. Imho

No ma'am. If you dont eat right after you will regain some of the weight back. Side effects are minimal according to my Doctor.

I am in the medical field and the HGC diet does not work......it is the 500 calorie that makes u lose weight.

I did the HCG shots a year before surgery (prescribed by a doctor) and I ended up losing 40-50 lbs. I also ended up gaining that back and then some but it was because I didn't stick to the diet. I think its the diet and the shots that work. It's hard to explain but you ate more than 500 calories but with the Protein added in it was like that's all your body would count because it takes more calories to burn protein. Sorry if this sounds confusing but that's the best way I can think to describe it. I would talk to your doc before taking this and I would only do the injections if they're prescribed by a licensed physician.

oh also, you're supposed to take the shots for a couple months and then go off of them for a couple months so your body doesn't get immune to then. I didn't do this and that was probably another reason for the weight gain.

No hormones or chemicals to confuse and screw up my metabolism thanks. I went through this surgery because I wanted to eat healthy. Fooling especially with hormone levels is not someplace I'd want to go.

Phentermine raises blood pressure. It's basically "speed."

Ephedrine can be deadly.

Is everyone in this much of a hurry?

Well. I'll chime in again. Read the bottle or box of nearly any diet product and it will recommend a proper diet and exercise along with the product - which is what you would lose the weight from in the first place. A lot of diet stuff even go as far as supply you with dietetic plans and exercise routines to follow.

The day a REAL moderately priced diet pill that works without dreadful side effects without changing your dietetic practices by sheer will be the day that obesity has met it's match and someone is going to be a BILLIONAIRE over night. HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of products have come and gone, some with disastrous consequences for those using it.

Now a word for what this forum is REALLY about.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sleeve is different. It's a tool that works by limiting the SIZE of the possible intake as well as removing some of the ghrelin producing stomach lining that CAUSES hunger. It too WILL NOT WORK if you keep eating and eating and not curbing your appetite. When asked what I did to lose weight I start out saying "diet and exercise AND I had a small operation to help me". I lost the weight by eating less and burning off more. The sleeve didn't magically melt the fat away - I DID. It's a tool, not a miracle (although some would still classify it as just that).

Try the pills, shots and what have you. If they work then GOOD FOR YOU! You've beat the number one killer in most of the world today. If not then maybe it's time to talk about WLS.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
