Has anyone used this since Surgery? What are your thoughts about it? Did it help or hurt?

Don't take it but I read it can cause liver damage. http://www.annals.org/cgi/reprint/142/6/477.pdf Steve

Thanks for the info Steve.

I could barely handle these before surgery, not sure I would even want to injest one afterward.  All I did was get all jittery and flushed.  Ironically, I think these products were better before they took ephedra out of them.   I would venture to say that you'll get a ton of don't do this to your pouch answers as the ingredient list contains several irritants including: Caffeine Citrus Aurantium Coleus Forskohili Yohmibe Bark. All of these will probably irritate a pouch, let alone the pill size. Proceed cautiously. Guy

Thank you Sir!

Didn't mean to sound condescending and I think I did.  If Kypdurran is not having any issues with the ephedra ( 25 mg white crosses probably) then you may be able to as well.  Just be careful, that's all. Guy

No, you didn't sound condescending. I appreciate your input bro.

The weight you lose is from the lack of money in your wallet.

I've personally found that ALL of the non-ephedra based, metabolism boosting, weight loss supplements are total crap.  I tried countless brands before and after surgery and they just don't work worth a damn.   Ephedra is still in legal limbo and the FDA wavers back and forth between making it illegal and then legal on what seems like a month to month basis.   I found a distributer online and locally that has a supply of an ephedra based product called StimRX and I take one in the morning with my vitamins and other supplements.   The best ephedra based supplement I've ever taken was Xenadrine before it went ephedra free.    It doesn't bother me but some people experience side effects.   Talk to your doc before taking it and if you do take it only take a half dose to start off to see how your body reacts to it.

Thanks alot. Do you think taking the StiRX effected your weight loss much?
