Cla (Conjugated Linoleic Acids)



Recommended Posts

I thought I would share this information with people. I added this supplement to my diet. I do not take as many as you are suppose to. Studies show that 3400mg is the optimal dose of CLA, but I only take 1 capsule a day A) They are a little pricey B) I have a crappy memory and never remember to take it more than that!

CLA is suppose to help the body burn fat. I was already losing when I started taking it, so I am not sure if it has made a difference or not. But I have noticed that I have lost a few more pounds and inches, so it can't be hurting (I am 20 months post op at below goal).

I also read that Tonalin CLA is one of the best and purest, so check that your supplement has the Tonalin symbol on the bottle.

Of course it is up to you if you want to try it and I can't guarantee anything, so don't come back on here and hunt me down in the future! The link below is the one that I use. There are many brands, and the amount of CLA varies (make sure to read the label, it will say 1000mg but only has 840mg of CLA or 700mg of CLA...every brand is different). Oh, and the pill is huge and cause an upset tummy...I would not suggest for early post-op sleevers.

      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.
