I have a confession and i promise i will never ever do it again. so i started this journey in July and because the scale wasnt moving enough I started taking OXY ELITE PRO. the worst decision i have ever made. I was in the hospital for two days my stomach is hurting like hell. Now i am on a special liquid diet. I may have poisson my kidney. I dont know why I choose the easy way out. but I did and I promise I will never ever put a diet pill in my mouth again...

smart decision and best of luck!!!0

Very glad that you caught it and will be ok ... So many of those pills promise this and that but in the end make us sick. I did that a few years back and had to stop because i had the shakes and major heart palpitations .. change of lifestyle and exercise I have finally realized is the best way ! If you need any support please add me !0

Those are so dangerous. I wish they were outlawed. I took some several years ago and I felt like my heart was going to explode. Glad you're okay and best of luck to you.0

Just curious if you took the dose recommended on the bottle? Did you drink a lot of water with it or eat prior to taking it? I'm not a fan of them either. I took STACKER 3 for a while and developed a heart dysrythmia. I loved the results but it's not worth the problems to look good in a casket!0

i'm glad you are ok! hope you feel better soon.
thanks for sharing about this dangerous pill!0 -
I hope you will fully recover - quickly. I'm sorry you are going through this.
Drugs are powerful and we all react differently. I react badly to most any, so just don't take any med that isn't vital to my survival. Luckily none are for me at this point in my life. Those who normally don't react badly, don't know. Don't beat yourself up!! You didn't know.
But now you know and you are making good decisions. Take care of yourself, and then lose weight the healthy way. You can do this!0 -
Get better, stay away from drinks like Monsters, they destroy your liver. Afriend that is healthy and eats very healthy had to have a liver transplant from those drinks ,and he only had one a day. They need to make it an item that you can only buy 18 and up. I see kids drinking 4 a day sometimes. Be healthy!0

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for sharing. Those things are so scary and people take them like they are nothing.0

Thank you guys. Yes I did follow the instructions. Trust me I dont know why I choose the coward way out I know the formula of losing weight yet I did it. Its so not worth the chest pain and the stress I had over the weekend. I learn my lesson and I will never ever put any drugs in my mouth0

No its not the coward way and don't sell yourself short. Everyone makes mistakes in life, specially us who want to look good and have that great body and such. It's a normal stage when we get tired of not loosing weight fast enough and we are willing to do whatever it takes to get there, even if it means putting ourselves in risk. Yeah you knew the formula, so what this weight issue have us not thinking straight. In one point or another we "Myself" been there tried everything, just to look better and have better confidence. I'm glad your OK and make a full recovery. You shouldn't be surprise how many people I know who still do this "My wife" and I tell her don't just do it the right way. She was doing the lemon diet. The one she only drinks a lemonade don't know the name of it but I was scared because she was not eating anything only that lemonade. After a couple of days with no food I had to intervene and made some delicious Cheese, Chicken, and meat Enchiladas that she gave in. I felt bad to ruin her diet but I prefer her to be how she is than not to have her at all.
Thank You for sharing your experience0 -
check with your doctor and/or a holistic nutritionist and ask about what kinds of foods you should eat to regenerate health to your kidneys. The body is sometimes surprisingly durable, so see what you can do to be proactive0

seriously cant wait for this pain to go away0

Yes we all have made mistakes and the good thing is when we learn from them and move on. I tried Fastins last year - the over the counter ones, they were working and I was losing weight but then when I wouldn't take any the weight came back on and then some. So in the end it wasnt worth it..better to do it on my own and not go through that again.
Get fully well again and just move forward a wiser person.0 -
Don't beat yourself up, we've all made mistakes, and you've learned a valuable lesson-- and thank you for sharing it with us! You're in my thoughts, I hope you have a quick road to recovery.0

Please don't beat yourself up. You don't deserve it and it will get in the way of your recovery. Please heal well. That's most important.
After you've taken care of you through this crisis, would you share your experience on the many threads started each week where someone talks about doing something unhealthy to lose weight? Everyone thinks it can't happen til it does..0 -
The truth is, MFP is the easy way... Just look around you. Stay here, track and cap your calories, and you WILL successfully lose weight. It's very simple and very, very effective. Good luck!0

Interesting. I took Oxy Elite Pro and never had a problem. Only had an issue one day when I didn't drink enough water. I absolutely believe (as a health care professional) that you need to be aware of your sensitivities prior to commencing any medication (over the counter or otherwise). Oxy Elite worked well for me (but I don't have an issue with caffeine etc) but again, it's very personal. I wouldn't consider myself a coward for taking it either, many MFPer's see it as beneficial. I'm sorry you had an adverse outcome.0
