pm, and if really hungry one around 5pm.
2-6 rice cakes a day. 50 cal each.
110mg of riddlin a day- for ADD, but has the side effect of appetite
Suppression
300mg a day of caffeine a day in the am
Was taking ephedrine 50mg a day, then cut to 40mg, then cut to 30mg and finally just stopped taking it because it made me to jittery.
Don’t drink water much at all because it makes my stomach sick - I have gastritis.
Drink 3-4 Power Zero 20 oz bottles a day, sometimes more if I can.
0 calories each, non carbonated
Any suggestions???
Oh I forgot I was taking hydroxy cut and some other one once in a while too.

hummmm.... now that was the biggest disaster!!!
I tried to start a diet Phate was helping me with.
When I started to try it, it made my stomach very sick for about 3 ½ so I didn’t eat anything else for day.
Forgot to mention I did the diet above for 4 months.
-------------------------------------------------------------
VERY SICK = GREAT PAIN for about 3 hours.
tried to eat some protein/beef jerky in AM, just a few pieces and that made me very sick and nauseous, later in day 5 oz Power Zero, 1 slim fast
tried again in AM to eat some protein/beef jerky, just a few pieces and that made me very sick and nauseous again, later in day 5 oz Power Zero, 2 slim fast
2 slim fast in AM, 10 oz. Power Zero for full day and in PM ½ cup of pasta (plain) and 1/2 a cup of spinach... that made me very sick and nauseous - so I took some Benadryl to go pass out.
baby food in AM and had severe pain started and started vomiting. 1 slim fast late afternoon and another in the evening.
In AM I drank 1/2 a bottle of power zero all at once, and as you can guess sever pain and vomiting.
Over the week end - I drank my old diet, 4 slim fast/day and stomach was pretty good, no real pain or nausea.
*think I’m missing a day in here that I was also vomiting from injesting something,
*And a few rice cakes in the first few day in my diet below, don’t remember that part so well…

First thing I did Monday morning was go to my gastroenterologist. I explained my diet including the weight loss pills mentioned above and what is happening when I eat, they took blood and did a full panel.
Results were that my liver and kidneys were shutting down and my heart functions were off. Also I was dehydrated
===In the hospital I went. The first hospital my levels were back to normal except the liver levels were a little high. They then sent me to another hospital that was supposed to help me eat solid foods again because my stomach was rejecting it. Turned out to be a psyche ward for eating disorders. (all I wanted to do was lose weight and I honestly thought that the slim fast was a healthy diet with stacked diet pills and exercise.)
I got to the second hospital and it was rediciuols… all the people there were anorexic and didn’t want to eat food. I wanted to eat, I just couldn’t. I got there in the middle of the night, so the next morning I didn’t get any of my stomach meds in the morning… they brought me a breakfast that I would have hurled on…coffee, an orange, etc. Now approaching 10:00am – 10:30am still didn’t get my meds and then they were coming around trying to force me to eat the morning snack which was Doritos. I was going out of my mind!
I then had enough and told them I’m leaving and that I need my damn medication (forgot to mention I’m bipolar and have meds for that too… so its meds for gastritis, meds for ADD, and meds for bi-polar) I was really getting f***en pissed.
Finally a nurse came in and dropped the bag of meds that I brought in with me and said my discharge papers will be ready in a few minutes!!!
What a fuc*en nightmare!
Now I’m home and my husband is helping me with a very bland diet that has easy foods to digest. 3 meals a day, mainly baby food and oatmeal. It’s been killing my stomach but I’m keeping it down. I was drinking a gentle Snapple drink and that turned out to be to heavy so now I’m drinking grape coolade… getting about 2 – 2 ½ 16oz bottles of it down a day under protest mind you…because it hurts my stomach too.
If I never came to this forum and started reading about diet and exercise, I never would have stopped drinking the slim fast, until I hit my target weight or ended up dead.
I thank you all and my husband for saving my life
