Thanks for this info, the skin apron is a huge fear of mine. I will look into the compression garments!

Hello Everyone, I am so glad I found this site! I will be starting a milk diet for 2 to 3 weeks and was told I could only have skim milk and water. I can add protein powder to the milk, but that's it. I am really nervous about this. I don't drink milk at all, so they suggested I try Soy milk instead. I asked if I could use slim fast because I have used them before, but they said, No that won't work." I'm really worried about succeeding with this diet. Any advice?

Thanks, I will try the almond milk.

Can't wait to say my weight out loud & not wish to hide! Great story, Thank you!

Awesome encouragement! Any tips on why you are doing so well, so fast?

Thanks, I needed to read this tonight! Great inspiration!

Dr. Jossart, I have severe hereditary spherocytosis and had a splenectomy when I was a child as a result. I am very overweight, have some negative health issues because of it and would like to have the gastric sleeve procedure. Years ago I asked about the gastric bipass and was told I could not have it done because I did not have a spleen. They indicated this was due to the intestinal complications that could occur. Will not having a spleen also count me out for the gastric sleeve procedure too? Please advise. Thank you, Lizzyshade
