E.L Good to here your doing well. Now that your banded. The Losing begins! Yaaaa. Take care

Hi there, I noticed as i research the web. people are on alot of different diets to acheive liver shrinking for surgury. Some are on optifast, some are on medifast( which is real food) my Diet is "no calorie liquids, protien shakes ( attkins was recomended ), Attkins bars, and if i really have to i can have chicken, lean beef, boiled egg, or low carb cheese". so long as i don't exceed 40 - 50 carbs daily. I wasn't given a clear indication of whether ketosis was my goal. Just by the wording of the diet i think it is, because it says " No cough syrups, mints, etc. cause it will knock me out of ketosis" If Ketosis is my goal then 40-50 carbs daily is way to high for me. I can't exceed 20-25 carbs or i'll knock my self out of ketosis. ( old attkins Pro Here! hee hee). I guess my question is if ketosis is my goal why not just go on attkins for 1o days? Anyone get advice on this from a doctor? I am following my diet as described to me, i am just curious!:thumbup:

. I have something funny to share. Since i am starting my liver shrinking diet tomorrow i wanted to eats lots of yummy stuff tonight! When i was making supper i got called out for a quick errand and left supper preperations with my 16 year old son. When he quickly replied " Mom are you sure you want to leave your last meal for 10 days in my hands"!! He's so sweet and supper was yummy! Just to make you smile Blessings the journy begins tomorrow. Yaaa!

Thanks for just being here guys. E.L Let us know as you go!! Doddie, i to have a family to cook for. It will be a challenge, but i'm sooo willing! Snowbird 3 meals out of one, isn't it incredable the amount of food we ( north americans) eat that we don't need to sustain us. This band will be the will power i never had. when my brain says Macdonalds 3 times a day my stomach won't let me. I can handle that. Have A great Canada Day -- and go watch some fire works!

Hi there i was approved for financing through medicard. to have the proceedure done in canada. does anyone know if they will cover me to go to Mexico cuz it's so much cheaper there?:ohmy:

:thumbup:Hi Everyone, I have spent the last few days researching and going to doctors. I found out that Medicard will cover me in mexico. As well i found a doctor that will do my fills in Red deer. So all looks good. Thy will even lend me money for plane tickets! It will cost 7000.00 in mexico verses 16000.00 in toronto and the airfare is cheaper for us to fly to San Diego than toronto.
