Hello Everyone

I did lipotrim some 15 years ago and lost 10 stone and put it all back on, I did CD 3 -4 years ago and lost 6 stone and put it all back on. I am now booked in for a gastric band on the 20th March, I hope this can help lose weight and to keep the weight off.

Kind regards

Mark

I have not done CD or LL, a woman at school did it and she lost quite a bit on LL (this is the one that is shakes and you can be prescribed it is it) she has put it all back on plus interest.
whats the bloody point
sw and ww will say its not a diet its a lifechange - well sorry its not you cant go through your life eating red and green days and now the new easy days. Sorry but no I dont think you can unless you are some very special person.
A friend of mine lost almost 6 stone on sw and has kept it off for 8 years now and that is with having a baby putting quite a bit of it back on and then losing it again.
My cousin has also just lost a pound off six stone, if she loses this 1 pound this week she is being put forward for slimmer of the year. I honestly think it is brilliant if you can lose weight through diet and keep it off but i think it really is a minority that can do this. I think some people are just born with a hormone or gene that is a fat gene - it has to be not everyone goes on a diet loses weight then decides oh i know i will now eat what ever i want as i am now thin.

I tried lighter life 3 years ago. I only lasted a couple of weeks before I fainted. I have also been on reductil- lost 3 stones but put it all back on. The side effects were hideous with both.
Hypnotherapy was okay but expensive and also the results did not last long.

i did cd about 20 years ago it was ok for a couple of weeks wieght was coming of but then every time i put the glass to my mouth i started heaving so i gave it a miss. my freind did the liquid diet from the hospital a couple of years ago the weight just fell off her but as soon as she started to eat solids it came back with a vengence and brought its fammily with it. she was devestated and she had a bypass in nov last year, she is so happy and says its best thing shes ever done and wishes shed never botherd with the liquid one

I did CD liz in 2007. Lost 4 stones and put it back on with interest. Have tried to get back on cd a couple of times since but not managed more than a day or two.

Having tried all the diets under the sun, plus reductil and xenical, and even hypnosis, I have come to realise that WLS is the only permanent solution for me.

I too have done all of the above...lost 44lb on CD in 2006, put it all back on....portion control was the problem for me, so opted for the band.

I did CD around 3 years ago and only did it for a week.. I lost 1 stone in that week and was doing really well until I started to get a rash which drove me crazy so had to come off it.

I have since put on 3 stone and my weight is creeping up each month.

So wls is my last option after trying every diet and pills going!

I did it too. Lost a bunch of weight and gained it all back plus 20 pounds more!
