hoodia

hello fellow losers I was wondering if anyone has taken diet pills after having the surgery. I seem to be at a crossroads. I stick to the protein first - limit my carbs - no sweets. exercise every other day but my weight seems to fluctuate 5 pounds but never goes any lower. I picked up some diet pills at Walmart - the ones with Hoodia in them. The caffaine gave me a terrible headache and I was up all night. Felt like back when I used to take the fenphen pills. I seemed to experience alot of cramping also. I couldnt even lay on my stomach. Has anyone tried these? can we take diet pills? Also on a side note... does the mental image ever go away. My friends and family tell me that I look awesome but I see myself when I get out of the shower completely nude and I still have the mental image from 75 pounds ago and I have this fear of regaining.. Thanks for your help

Here is a post I posted on the main message board yesterday. I use the patches. I get them on Ebay for 16.99 with shipping. They really work for me and I only use them when I am grazing too much. They only have Hoodia so you don't get the side effects or jitters. Best of Luck, Donna Marie Thank you all for your replies. I understand how some of you would never try a diet product again but as my support group leader is fast to point out lap band is a tool not the answer to morbid obesity. With that being said the research on Hoodia has shown that the product gives those who take it a feeling of fullness. In fact they found a new gene in their research that the Hoodia suppresses. There are no know side effects. I know someone will say, YET. Well the same can be said for the band.  Many feel Hoodia could be the magic bullet that we have been waiting for. It is a supposedly safe, inexpensive tool to help people that either can't afford surgery or choose not to have it.  I for one have days that my appetite is out of control. In those cases I will put my Hoodia patch on and be so thankful I have yet another tool.

Do you recommend a particular seller?  I had never heard of it before so I'm interested but want to make sure I try the right one!
