One of those things failed slimmers do, i.e. anything to lose a pound or two. I've taken others in my time. In the seventies I once took a Tenuate Dospan pill (speed I think), which sent me into orbit for 24 hours, probably the closest I came to being a junkie!! A common denominator with these sorts of pills for me was that in time they generated anxiety in every day situations. When I realised I was getting anxious about daft things, it scared me and I threw them all away.<br />Nola - thing is it's only now I'm getting the problems I've read about in your blog, the nearest to which I've just finished writing about in a post just now. Admittedly nothing compares with your lime spider experience, but it was horrible enough nevertheless. Next Wednesday I reach my 6 month mark, and I have 8.5 mls in the band, and I'm only just starting to wonder (at last) what on earth I'm going to eat to survive.<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-17426414590027702572009-06-13T11:23:22.126+01:002009-06-13T11:23:22.126+01:00I am the same as Tina....it has taken 6mths and I ...I am the same as Tina....it has taken 6mths and I am still having some problems. <br />I don't know about those pills....naughty girl !!Nolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999422801245381422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-7057526026262534762009-06-13T07:41:26.199+01:002009-06-13T07:41:26.199+01:00Are those pills safe?

I am so worried about pills these days after the drug issues we have had lately with hydroxycut. <br /><br />Have patience-it seemed like forever until I felt like the band was really working but finally around 6 months out I got a hint and then this last fill has been what I would call "sweet" as everyone calls it. <br /><br /> Keep plugging away and don't lose faith. When you lose restriction get in for a fill (if your doctor will let you) and when you have to wait do the best you can to stay away from the really bad stuff (ice cream is my downfall). A good fill (finally) has made some of the cravings for the ice cream ease up a bit! I know it will for you too...Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965135571189867376noreply@blogger.com
