My pre-op diet is officially blown

Your doing fine...at least unlike me, you didn't wolf down a doughnut because you were hungry (because you skipped a couple of eating times) and thought you must eat something now or die...lol. I don't feel hungry now...but i do feel quilty. But hey the good news...is the old days I wouldn't have just had ONE doughnut. LOL.

They say that most people lose 50% of weight needed to be lost. So if you were 250 and you need to lose 100 lbs, 25 lbs. is half of 50% avg. lost. That means that the 2nd 50% would be the band (equal to approx. 25 lbs). Is the liquid diet a placebo in disguise????!!!!!

So, thinking is good. Think some about this. liquid diets make you lose the weight quickly - they work every single time. BUT - have you ever done a liquid diet and KEPT the weight off?

The band allows you to not only KEEP the weight from the liquid diet off - but to continue to lose weight after the initial "Easy" pounds have been lost.

I want a Band!! Placebo or not - I want one.

Jini,

Today is the start of your new life and I am so excited for you. I kept you in my prayers and will continue to. Can't wait to hear from you and see how you are doing.

And your answer to your question, I don't think anything can be as bad as the before diet, it's all downhill after surgery, before we know it we will be on "mushies." Doesn't that sound great? I sure think so. Take care!
