Diet pills

I'm 2 1/2 yrs out and want to lose more weight. I was 568 the day of surgery 11/8/04. Today I'm 245 and want to get to 199(anything under 200). Does anyone know how safe it is for a post op to take pills?

GBS is a tool and this is why we have it to learn...to rid of bad habits we once was addicted to....You dont want to rely on pills rest of your life as b4 GBS... so why do you want to do it now. isnt this why we had the GBS to get rid of taking diet pills and regaining as most have done throughout their lifes?....REMEMBER!!! Weight loss surgery is only a tool -- the amount of weight you lose and how much of that weight loss you maintain is up to you.....

Really take a good look at what your PO life's program is right now. Check your calories in vs calories out. Are you following it like you should with your diet and exercise? Has your diet gotten sloppy with too many carbs? These are just some things to ask yourself. Maybe you need to ramp up your exercise, protein and water. Shake up your routine, this is a great time of year to start working out outdoors and enjoy this wonderful earth God created for us. Build muscle on your body so you burn more calories. I really would not go the route of pills like Icing said this is about a lifestyle change. We need to not fall back onto a crutch that we used in the past to help us maintain our weight loss. If you really cannot shake the extra weight then maybe it is time to see your doctor and have a professional look at why you are not loosing the last pounds. Consider this that you might have a lot of excess skin that needs to come off and no amount of diet and exercise will reduce those pounds, just PS. Chris
