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?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
