question..

Scale has stopped moving and I still have 40 pounds to lose, are we allowed to take those pills that speed up your metabolism??

I take one a day weight smarts. They contain green tea which is supposed to speed up the metabolism and I havent had any problems.

for a month or so now I have been taking chromium.. but still not losing like I wi****oo have 40 pounds left.. so two days ago I bought the diet green tea pills to see what that does.. I asked my doc about 3 months ago about diet pills and he said that they are ok for people that are real far out - and need help getting back on track.. but I am desperate myself just to get this done...lol

Check with your bariatric doctor. Mine just put me on Phentermine (diet pills) and that has done the trick. It supresses appetite and increases metabolism. This seems to be his usual protocal for WLS patients. He'll only prescribe for a couple of months, but that seems to be what I needed to get the scale moving again. In a week, I'm down 5 pounds. Good luck. Julaine
