Fat Burners?

[atlambros83 1]

So I had my first adjustment yesterday, I feel fine after the adjustment and all but I was wondering....have any of you used fat burners to help give you an extra boost during all of this? If so, what kind? Also, do any of you have a good Multivitamin to recomend? When I first received the surgery they told me to get a Gummy Vitamin so I got those new one a day vitacraves but from what I've seen they're not exactly packed full of Vitamins like some of the more solid ones out there. Anyways, any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I really don't see any reason why you need to turn to fat burners. They honestly have a very minimal, temporary effect. My advice to you would be: now that you have the Lap Band, put those diets and fads behind you and save your money. Follow the Lap Band rules and you will no longer need that stuff.

I agree about the Vita-Craves. I couldn't find any with Iron and as a woman I need it. I am using Centrum chewables and Caltrate plus D.

True, I guess I'm just excited about losing and was thinking it would help give an even bigger push. I see what you mean though, there really doesn't seem like there's much of a point, the band will work just fine without. Congrats on your milestones though! I hope to be as successful as you soon enough.

I bought the Centrum liquid multi Vitamin back when i got the vitacraves and I couldn't stomach the taste so I've been sticking with the gummies but I guess now that I'm able to have solids again maybe I'll give the chewables from Centrum a try. Any other Multivitamins you guys are using out there?

My doctor said to take two children's chewables a day. Which I've been doing. I also take chewable Calcium, extra Vitamin B and Biotin.< /p>

I use use GNC Solotron chewable Multi-V or Trader Joe's High Chewable Multi-V. They both taste ok & contain good quantities of vit/minerals. GNC is clighly more potent, but the dose is 2 tablets, slightly smaller than an alka seltzer. The TJ dose is one tablet, a bit larger, an thicker, than a dime. I used to use Trader Joe's Gummy Multi Vitamins, which I could eat all day, however they are not as potent, and don't contain a lot of the minerals that are in the others.

I use Bariatric Advantage Nutritional supplements - Vita Band Complete chewable Multivitamin and Mineral Formula. It is specifically designed for people with the lapband. www.bariatricadvantage.com

I personally love the Watermelon flavored. Good luck!

I take the Centrum chewables. They are pretty good and I can get them down, Vitamins usually make me sick to my sotmach but these don't.

me personally, I don't think i would do the fat burner.... How do they put that unpleasant side effect.. "anal leakage". I mean don't we have enough "unpleasant side effects" to worry about with the band already then adding that one too. oh no not for me..

I also do the Centrum chewables but when I was in the States I used a great liquid Vitamin I got from a local health food store. It was awesome! It came in a bottle that you squeeze and it fills up the top, kinda like mouth wash bottles. It has to be refridgerated but that made it easier to remember to take. Whenever I opened to fridge to get milk for my son or a bottle of Water it was right there in front so I would take my dose and go onto whatever I was doing.

id definitely say no to the fat burners. thet do have some unpleasant side effects and can encourage yo-yo dieting. just give your band time to get to the right spot and the weight should start coming off the way you want it to. i know it can suck when its slow at first, but trust me if you give it time it will work

and as far as Vitamins i take a childrens chewable similar to a flintstone, i buy the CVS brsnd and i like them pretty well. i also take the viactiv chocolate chews for my Calcium
