BabyGotBack 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Audree, they are advertising SlimQuick on tv. I am guessing it's not the same thing as what you are taking? I noticed today that it'sbackwards from what you take QuickSlim. I won't have the money until after Christmas now that it's getting so close to the holidays. I really want to try it. Yeah, it isn't the same thing at all. QuickSlim30 is a combination of 12 herbs that actually do a lot more than weight loss. The other type of "diet pills" have unhealthy ingredients and don't really do much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toqu 0 Posted November 14, 2007 I can vouch for that! It is great b/c you only have to take one a day which makes it an easy choice for me. I don't like taking two pills before each meal etc. Too much work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BabyGotBack 0 Posted November 15, 2007 How is everyone doing? It is right before TOM for me and I feel bloated!!! YUCK So, I will stay off the scale until I am done, no use in torturing myself!!! How are you all doing? I am still trying to get my exercise thing going!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kland 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Well, I quit smoking today! Yikes! I've been gearing up for this for a couple of months now and started taking Chantix last week. I'm not doing too bad, but the habit side of me would have grabbed a ciggie several times today. Oh well. Of course, I need to quit anyway, but I did it to get ready for surgery that's coming in January. Still working on dropping a few more pounds and I'm exercising and walking steadily now. I think I'll be ready and I'm so excited! I hope everyone is doing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted November 16, 2007 I am getting another fill in the middle of Dec. I am not doing very well being able to eat whatever I want and whatever portion I want. I keep gaining and losing the same 3 lbs. I want restriction! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BansterNYC 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Baby - I have read this entire thread, and I am a lower BMI bandster too! Started at 36 and banded at 34 last week. Anyway, I was reading your post regarding TOM and how you are tight for at least 2 weeks out of every month. Have you considered a birth control pill that restricts your period to only 4x per year. I have been on it for a few years, and absolutely love it -- barely get my period and have little to no PMS symptoms. Just a thought to consider if your period hits your body so hard each month.

SoupGirl 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Hey Group! I'm in for the accountability. I was banded May 2007, Dr. Ortiz, Mexico. I have NO idea how much I've lost, but I have had 1cc fill and I can eat ANYTHING after 2pm. Today: Breakfast~1/2 cup grape nuts Cereal in some hot milk Lunch~Small piece of chicken and veggies Dinner~Met friends at Outback...one chicken wing, small piece of bread and a few fries...I know...that is BAD. I'm still struggling. Some of my food started to get stuck and I had what I call a, "Lap Band Reality Check." I joined a boxing class, so we do that Mon, Weds, Fri mornings and Tues & Thurs, I train with my workout group for a 1/2 marathon in January. I'm trying to keep moving. NO MORE FRIES OR BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My husband had a vasectomy a few years ago and I don't like to take any type of medication if I can help it. I treat my symptoms for the most part with eastern medicine (natural, herbal) and go to a chinese herbalist/acupunturist to treat any illness or problem I have. Thanks for the advice though!!!:biggrin1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
