Hmmm... Thanks Cheryl. Im not sure if that is something I would be into or not, the reason I think I need the band is because I have somewhat crappy willpower.

Rachelle, thanks for the reply. What I am proposing is helping you with getting your bloodsugar levels down before your surgery, because it is hard to do the liquid diet for those 6 days if you don't prepare a little. I use to have bad will power also. I know what you mean.

Hi cookielover. Wow, I am glad I read your post. I have learned a lot in the last 2 years. I use to be 20 lbs over weight. I was a gymnast and was always looking for ways to loose weight. I found a way 10 years

ago by eating "low glycemic foods". It was not that hard once I decided

to try it. The first 5 days were a little hard, but not as hard as other

diets I tried. You get to eat enought food to keep from being hungry,

you just don't eat foods that raise your blood sugar high.

I lost my 20 lbs, and my husband lost 30. My friend lost 50 doing this

2 years ago and all of us have kept the weight off.

Email me and I can explain the details to you. You can do it!!!!

I would love to help you and encourage you. It is easier than you think.

The great thing is that it doesn't cost much to do and you will feel

great.

Hi Rachelle. I know it is hard to pay out of your own pocket, but it seems that it will be worth it. Are you going ahead with the surgery?

I have found a way to lose weight by eating low-glycemic foods.

It is kinda new to the public, but there are books written about it now.

If you would like some more info, you can email me at armsfamily@comcast.net. I would be glad to give you an alternative to

surgery. You are young and have time to try other things.

Realize that most Americans are addicted to "bad carbohydrates".

Once you break your sugar addiction (which takes 5 days usually), it gets easier. My friend lost over 50 lbs and looks great now.

My husband lost 30 lbs in 3 months and he was only 30 lbs over weight.

I want to encourage you that you can lose the weight, with or without

the surgery. Which ever way you choose, I would love to talk with you

about it.
