Has Anyone Tried Alli?

I have the desire to lose a last twenty pounds. I had a RNY gastric bypass in 2002. Has anyone tried Alli? If so, what has happened? Any advice out there? Thanks!

I would think long and hard about taking it. Have you read what the side effects can be? You have a fantastic tool that you can put to work for you with your WLS. Think back to being early out from surgery and how you used it when loosing weight. Protein, water and exercise. Get your dense proteins in and you will stay fuller longer, change up your exercise routine to trick your body into burning more calories, lots and lots of water to wash the ##s out of you. Have you had any PS yet? Because if you have not you may not loose anymore weight. Your last 20# might be in the form of excess skin. Christine

Ok..going to answer this one..cuz I just bought this stuff last week... My weight loss has stalled..er well actually just slowed down..thought I would speed it up with Alli.

This is what happened: NOTHING...lol

Apparently I don't eat enough for it to work. Even when I eat fat I can only eat a few bites of something...I get a little bit of gas...but no diarrhea or anything. In fact that would have been nice if it could loosen me up since I am a chronic constipationer. I will use the rest of it..I take two caps before I eat anything...or with something. I have lost 2lbs this week and did not lose anything last week so maybe it is the Alli....but I also took advantage of our beautiful nice days outside to walk about 4-5 times a day too this week.

I am not impressed with it. Maybe some others are...and maybe it is just in my head that it is really working...but not in the form of any kind of loose stools.

I don't post on here much but wanted to let you know that Alli cause malasorption of some key vitamins and minerals with that being said we already malasorb those and we def don't want to lose anymore nutrients! I don't think it is a good ideal for anyone who has had weight loss surgery where they rearranged your insides. Be careful and remember diet pills don't work if they did why do they come up with a million new ones each year and then they all dissapear again. I don't trust the FDA for personal reason and I think they are more here for the almighty dollar not get people healthy. Good luck to you with your decision. dee
