Alli diet pills



Recommended Posts

A good friend of mine tried these pills. Alot of the BDT's are due to the amount of fat you eat and if it goes in our mouth there's fat in it. My friend lost weight, mostly from running to the bathroom. Gained weight back and more when she stopped taking them, also experienced dry skin and hair from them pulling fat from her body. I asked her if she would recommend them to anybody, her remark was "only if they want to buy new clothes from the waist down and look like death warmed over".

wheetsin you are exactly right about not making comments personal so i apologize to any one i affended. but sometimes you can`t help but be defensive. if i have nothin good to say i say nothing at all accept when bein attacked. but i would never insult someone who was just asking and needed help making a decision.

With all due respect, WASa didn't attack you. In your original post, you asked for any feedback regarding the use of Alli. She gave you her opinion, which you asked for. Where was this "attack" that you speak of?

I wasn't attacking you, you asked for opinions and I gave you mine. The whole wonderful and fantastic idea behind the band is the days of orange pooh goo, space suits, red saran wrap, starch blockers, fad diets, weight loss gimmicks... those days are over. There is no longer a need for the horrors of weight loss.

There is a thread here you might want to read. A couple actually. One is about Xenical and the other are diets people have tried over the years. Seriously, everything from wearing space suit types outfits (steam bath concept?) to wrapping yourself in saran wrap before going running.

You asked for opinions, I gave you mine. It just isn't an attack if I don't agree with the need for more drugs such as this. I gave you what you asked for, my opinion. I have no clue how you take that as an attack. If you want people to agree with you then you'll have to explain that. If you want the opinions of others then you can't accuse people of attacking if they do as you request.

Wasa is a valued member of this site. Not only has she gone through the lap band experience and subsequent weight loss journey herself but she is a member of the medical establishment, one who has chosen to engage herself in educating herself on a professional level on the technical aspects of the surgery itself in addition to learning about those issues concerning its aftermath and, moreover, those issues which relate to weight loss in general. It is for this reason that she brings something special to LBT, the marriage of academic/technical knowledge of lapband/weight loss surgical techniques, and general medical issues and of her own personal struggles with weight loss.

She is one of the few qualified resource people who we are lucky to have on this site. Some of you may feel that she is arrogant; the truth is that she is not. She simply knows an awful lot, and has chosen to share this knowledge with us: she cares about us and that really is very bluddy cool.

I agree with Green. Additionally, Wasa will say she doesn't know something if she doesn't. She's also the very first to say to follow your doctor's direction above any other advice given, including hers.

yeah i totally disagree.

there are several posts where someone says they know something when in reading the post its obvious they do not, and they NEVER say they are sorry or apologize when they are wrong. ever. There are a lot of people who clame to be one thing when they are not.

(im trying to not make this about the person, rather the idea but in this specific case its very difficult. im still trying.)

Yum already apologized for any misunderstanding, and its not enough, you got to go on and post and post and post about it instead of just letting it go. I know that wasa has a great deal of fans on here, as devoted to the website as she is, it doesnt suprise me. It doesnt mean that everyone on here is a fan, nor do they have to be.

I myself could come around more if she could either admit when shes wrong rather than continue attaking, or at least say "im sorry" when shes wrong. I dont expect that will ever happen. ill get in trouble for this i bet. I dont want that, but i just have a hard time with all the back patting going on when someone already said they were sorry and hoped they didnt affend.

Do you really believe you have any credibility when you have to create this ID to slam others? Seriously, you created this ID to follow me around and cause problems. Let's face it, you have already pretty well admitted this.

With all due respect, get over yourself.

If you are referring to my post, this was not anything personal against anybody on my part. Green wrote a message and I was agreeing with it. My accolade had nothing to do with Yum (frankly, I have no idea what you're even talking about in that regard) and I said nothing about anybody having to be a fan of anyone. I am speaking from personal experience; this is my opinion which I will state when I see fit. I have not posted and posted about anything or anybody. If I can say something positive in a situation that I am familiar with, I try to do that. I have not sparred on this board with anyone and nor do I intend to start. It's not my bag. It takes two to do that and I refuse to play.

...furthermore, i havent tried to create one single problem. Ive just voiced my opinion. You are opinionated and direct. What? you cant stand it when someone else is too? Does it deserve a response? take your own advice and just dont.

:pound::pound::pound: Seriously, that made me laugh in real time. :clap2:

Here's a news-flash: WASa and I are friends. When one of us gets attacked, the other sticks up for her. Neither one of us is the type of person to make up SNs to go harass another person. Whenever we want to call someone out, we do it on our real SNs.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
