Herbal Life

Hello to all. Its been a while since I have posted on here. I have a question about Herbal Life and if anyone here has take it before.

I took the shakes back in 99" and lost 50lbs on it, I bought it again post hysterectomy and am having a problem with major bloating and swelling. The shake that I am taking now is a little different than last time and this time I am putting 2 tbls of protien in it. I took out the protein to see if that was the problem and I still felt the same. Has anyone here had this happen? Could the shake not mix well with my premarin?

Thanks
Polly

I used Herbal Life about 4 years ago, and lost 52 pounds on it, and did really well for about 6 months, then I regained all the weight back since then. I know a few people who have also had the same experience with it. Also, my doc made me get off it because I ended up in the hospital for 4 days with heart problems, which I didn't have before, and he seems to think that contributed to it. I know everyone is different and some may have had a better experience with it but that is what happened to me.

Hi Polly

I took Herbal Life for several months, ages ago. I did loose some weight, but I don't remember how much. And I was much younger at the time!!! And, as you mentionned, back then, the shakes were different.

I also remember that I went off it when I realized that my jaw was getting attrophied from lack of use. I also remember that my doctor was really against the product: can't remember why, but I remember that he felt it was dangerous.

I do not have experience with Premarin, but it could be that the shakes and the Premarin do not mix well
