Weight Loss Pills and Other Suppliments



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else tried using any diet pills or other weight loss supplements like raspberry ketone or HCG in conjunction with your new way of eating post surgery? I have though about it since my diet is so much better and I am more active than before could it hurt to add in a supplement that was designed to work best with a balanced diet and increased exercise? Obviously I don't want to do anything dangerous so I'm just curious to see if anyone else has considered this or looked into it with their doctor.

On a side note... I can't deal with caffeine or ephedrine based stuff because I don't like the jitters but there are many things out there that supposedly help with metabolism. I have read about products that help to digest Protein or products that are used to block fat absorption. If I am taking care of my diet and doing everything else I wonder if my body could benefit from a little added help.

I can understand wanting to make the weight loss quicker, but I personnally wouldn't want to add that back into my diet...... -_-

My nut was very specific when she said, "never think diet again" she said we should only focus on nutrition. What ever you eat make sure it´s good for you.

I had a patient who lost alot with her surgery but then hit a plateau for like 2 years and she did the hcg surgery. She lost and never gained back :) I actually was thinking of hcg diet drops. I did those before my surgery for a vacation.. lost 20lbs in 20 days! lol not sure if I will be able to stick to "diets" again, just healthy eating.. hcg diet is very strick! but that is why it worked I guess?

      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
