anyone tried "slimshots"

I just read about this in the paper, its a liquid appetite  controller that comes in individual shots. They sell it at most drug stores like walgreens. I really need something to get myself under control and this looks safe. They have a website, slimshots.com. Let me know what you think, Debra

I've been curious about those as well. I'm up a few pounds that I'd like to lose before it turns into a few hundred pounds, and I've wondered if I should "take something." Before RNY, I took every kind of herb and prescription drug I could find, and somehow I always ended up over 300 pounds. I don't know that this would be any different (and it's pretty expensive too, they're really proud of those little shots). It probably wouldn't hurt to try them, but for me personally, I just don't think they'd make that much of a difference. Most of my problem is giving into head hunger, not real hunger, so they wouldn't help me too much.

I think I read that a 30 day supply of the slim shots was $40?

I've actually tried some energy booster/appetite suprressants made by the vitamin company who make the liquid vitamins I take daily. One capsule is good for a  person under 250 pounds for a day, and they do have some caffeine in them. Personally caffeine does not bother me, but these may not work for you if you have caffeine issues.  PM me for any questions. DAVE

Taking 2 per day, 2 boxes lasts one month--for $120. Even with the one free one, it's still pricey. DAVE

I just bought some for 30.00 at CVS. It says take 1 with breakfast and with lunch if needed. So for most people thats a 15 day supply. They do not have any stimulants in them. It contains 2gm of fat and 20 calories. The "active" ingredients are palm & oat oil. They supposedly  work by digesting slowly therefore causing a feeling of satiety. You are supposed to eat up to 30% fewer calories. I've had 1 today, and I think I ate a little less than usual. I'll post if I loose any weight in the next 2 wks. Hell, I'll try anything. I'm 6 yrs post-op and have re-gained 40 lbs.

That would be great if you could post how you are doing. Do you think you ate less because of the shot or just because you took it? and watched what you ate.  I am 21/2 years out and have gained about 20 pounds and dont want it to get any higher than that. I have been tracking what I eat and( trying) not to snack and drinking more water and exersising of course. I just need something safe to controll the appetite. I dont think theres anything out there to controll the head hunger, if there is I would like some. Deb
