since the other thread got shut down by a bunch of bandsters gone wild I'll post my comment to Yummi here.

You said in the other thread "maryrose thanks for the advice i will look into more. I really was hoping someelse had tried it b/c it is much cheaper then the bodybug which i did consider. but at the same time, when is enough enoughl what other drastic measures do i need to take to lose weight. i need to join the challenge but i`m so slow i don`t know how to join the thanksgiving challenge. i`m computer illerate."

How are you comparing the bodybug (the arm band that keeps track of weight loss and calories etc) to taking Alli? I don't understand that. If you had the bodybug then that'd be used with exercise. Alli has nothing to do with that.

If you wanted bodybug then why don't you just set yourself up a workout routine instead of going on the Alli?

Just curious.

Losing weight with lapband doesn't happen over night...but it does happen. You'll see :confused:

Good luck!

I didn't follow that thread, but I would think the bodybugg would be more of a longterm solution. I'd rather learn how to exercise for my caloric intake than learn how to avoid even the HEALTHIEST of fats to include lean fish cooked in olive oil. That was what turned me off of Alli when it first came out.

BTW - you can look into Actitrainer - it's similar to the Bodybugg, but cheaper. I got one. Just starting to learn how to use it.

Josette are you sure she was not comparing the bodybugg and an actitrainer? Just from the quote it sounds like that but then again i did not see the other thread. And as you said it seems very weird to compare a weight loss pill with a computerized device.

josette i am now taking alli and it works well i haven`t had any sudden accidents. I was doing it with the Atkins but it proved to be too much because i am eating a lot of fat. so starting today i will calorie count which i read seems to work better unless you are eating all the right Proteins. i will keep you posted on my success. I wasn`t comparing the body bug and alli i was just trying to use the one that would benefit me more financially and it is alli. I only brought the 60 day supply. i will try it. if i went to the extremes to have surgery then alli shouldn`t hurt. good luck and thanks

babygrl123 I was comparing the two price wise and nothing else. i know i probably don`t need it but i want it. If i can go to the extreme of going to Mexico i didn`t think that this would hurt. just tired of being impatient i know it will happen but i seem to one of the unlucky ones. just my luck to get surgery and loose weight slow. If i didn`t have bad luck id have none at all.

Gotcha. Like i said i didn't read the other thread and the comparison seemed kinda of out there but i see what you were getting at now.

As for the slower weight loss have you been keeping track of things as far as what you are eating and exercise? I know I hated keeping track of both and luckily the bodybugg has made that easier for me, but when I did keep track it helped in seeing the choices I was making and how they were working for me written down. Lower carb tends to work better for me and that showed in my weight loss compared to what I was eating. It is hard to be patient especailly when it comes to weight loss. Good luck in whatever you do.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!

      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!
