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. : )

      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.
