Question:
Has anyone taken small quantities(1/2tab) Metabalife to help post-op.

I'm 13 months post-op and my weight loss has slowed to 2-3 lbs per month. I'm exercising and eating well and drinking my water, but need to get off 30-40 more pounds to get out of the obese range. I feel great but can't jog yet cause I'm too heavy still. Don't want my window to close without getting as low as I can. I've tried the metabalife and it seems to help but I don't want to make trouble for myself later. I just still have a big appitite, even for celery or protien shakes. My Doc says I'm losing slow because I was doing most of the right things before the surgery(exercise, diet, etc.) I eat WAY less now, but need to get more off before I quit. Any advice??    — jiggers (posted on June 27, 2000)

My pcp is wanting to put me on Meridia but I am holding off. She said that taking something to help with the head hunger would probably be the best thing to help us succeede if we needed any extra help. Kim

I found that I can keep the hungries away by taking a vitamin & mineral suppliment I found through [email protected] I take the recommended daily amount and on bad days I will double it and no more hungries and lots of energy.

I have tried lots of things since my surgery 3 years ago, but have found the thing that is working to lose the extra pounds is a low carb diet. Works for me Good luck
