Diet pills after Vsg surgery !



Recommended Posts

Curious to know if only one has used diet pills after VSG surgery to lose that last 15 to 20 lbs that seems to want to hang on ? After trying everything I can think of to lose the last 15 lbs all attempts have failed and the scales have not moved in 3 months other than gaining and losing the same 1 pound. Has anyone else done this ? If so what was your outcome?

I have not used them but I am interested If anyone has. I am thinking it probably isn't a good idea. Most are filled with caffeine, way more than we are supposed to have, also most OTC diet pills aren't FDA regulated and you really have to do research to make sure you know exactly want you are taking.

I work for my PCP. I mentioned I had been hungry a lot last weekend. I wanted to know if I could up my Nexium. She didn't understand the acid mimicking hunger until I explained it to her. She was offering to prescribe Qysimia. Instead, I bumped my Nexium to twice a day dosing. Worked very well.

That is interesting !!!! I was unaware of acid mimicking hunger aswell. I still have awful acid reflux maybe I will try that and see if it helps. : )

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
