Well, I decided to start my pre-op diet early to see how I was going to handle the whole two weeks on just liquids thing! And I made it a whole 24 hours...that's a big deal for me! That is until I ended up being so light headed to the point I truly thought I was going to pass out...it was a trippy feeling!! So, I ate real food and after a little while I felt much better.

After that experience I got on the scale and I had lost 2 lbs in one day! That really motivated me so I've really be watching my intake this week and I have lost 8 pounds!!!! Who would have thunk it...you eat less..you lose weight!

I have lost 8 lbs before in one week but, that's because I went to the weight Dr. and got diet pills and water pills....this time I did all on my own! I'm super excited about it! I just hope I can maintain it when I go on vacation next week!

I can lose weight taking diet pills but, I don't like the way it makes me feel and after awhile my heart will start racing....not good! So, I'll stop taking them and gain all the weight back plus some ! That's why I decided to get the Lab Band....it will help me not feel as hungry and not attack my heart while doing it. I know that there's risk involved but, I think it out weights what diet pills can do to you in the long run!
