Has anyone tried the program offered by "Medi Weight Loss Clinics" I started it about a month ago and I've lost 13 lbs. I've got a ways to go but I've just got to keep pushing forward. I would love to hear from others who have successfully OR unsuccessfully done this program!
hey there!! I'm new to this site and to the dieting word! I too am attending Medi Weightloss Clinics and would absolutely love to hear from you!!! It seems almost impossible to find people doing this program and the clinic doesn't offer a chat room or blog site or anything for support!!
I started last Monday 5/12/08. I followed the diet exactly. I lost 11.4 pounds the 1st week. I was actually seeking a lap band. My insurance requires me to participte in a physician supervised diet prior to surgery. Unlike anything else that I have tried in the past this seems like the answer. I am optimistic and I have hope. If this works I wont do the surgery. I know I wont lose that much each week maybe 2 or 3 pounds or less but I am confident the weight loss will continue. My Dr said more than half of the weight loss was water here on out I will lose more fat. The meds, supplements, and injections all work great I was never hungry. The only issue I had was on the 3 rd day I felt very dizzy. I called the office and was advised to eat a pice of string chesse, that helped. I carry a piece when I need at just in case. This is what I have been searching for for a long time. I am 5 ' 4" I am down to 223.5 so I have a long way to go, but I take it day by day.
I started this program 4 days ago and I feel awful. I can't call because it is Sunday now. I was just wondering if anyone was still on it. I have NO energy, I feel really weak anf am sweating like crazy. The test strips they gave me said I was dehydrated, but I have drank more water in the last 4 days then was recommended.
Ok, Just updating!
My husband has been on just shy of a week, The plan is to put you into Ketosis by only wating lean protien in the first week. THATS IT! Women are on 500 cals a day men on 1000, lots of suplements, and injections of vitimines. The program advoctes sugerfree drinks (64-128 oz) of crystal light is fine and 0 cal electrolite H2O. The worst part as the wife is the horendous bad breath that comes with the ketosis.
Yes, I joined Medi Weight Loss May 26, 2011. I have been losing weight!!! It has been a struggle my entire life. The plan works for me. I have lost 52 lbs so far! Holidays were tough and think I have "recovered" from that,
I only get the B shots. I am not able to take anything else because of a heart condition.
So, onward I go. Some days are harder than others but yes, it works.
I just started the Medi Weight Loss today but I have done it before and I lost 54lbs in 4 months. I have struggled with my weight since I was medically thrown into menopause at age 24 and I can't take hormone supplements so I tried this a few years ago and was able to keep the weight off for over two years...then I got sick and was put on steroids and ballooned right back up in less then two months and have been struggling to lose the weight again. But I started this again and hopefully will work just as well as before. I do the B shots and the appetite suppressant. Never had any problems with feeling sick or funny unless I don't drink enough water. My sister had also gone to a Medi Weight Loss Clinic where she lives and she went from 220lb to 135lb in about 10 months. She has kept hers off for about 3 years so far.
