NWgirl 574 Posted September 15, 2012 That's great it worked out well for you, but there was someone else a couple weeks ago who chose to not follow the Dr's diet and even though she lost 15lb +, the Dr closed her back up without a band because her liver was still too large. I hope you're feeling well. 3 lassie, jen_1381 and DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, you believe the "bandster diet" to be torture, and you reference your doctor as "stupid"... I predict your're going to be experiencing a major reality check very soon...I wish you luck, because it would seem that you will need all you can get. Best wishes to reach your goal weight... 3 kandikay76, Maddysgram and kittylove32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kept my daily calories under 1500 cals I had carbs Protein etc...... doc said my liver looked amazing. I ma he stupid but I'm happy I didn't torture myself. I am wondering how you will do with the band? It's all about learning to eat correctly and following the Dr and nutritionalist's food plan.I really hope you do well but from your post it seems you haven't started off on the right foot. I always tried to go about things my own way and never listened to Dr's. It didn't get me very far. I wish you good luck on your journey but i do hope you will start listening to what your Dr tells you. Also, if you don't respect him ( ex: calling him stupid ) you may not have that support that you will need. You have to work with your Dr, be honest, and go to all your appointments. Good luck. 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prettysmart1913 48 Posted September 15, 2012 I didn't have a pre-op diet either. I wish you the best. We all fall short of what we are supposed to do at some point. Just remember that your doctor is telling you based on his experience and being dishonest with your doctor is also Wong dishonest with yourself. I started to eat soft foods a few days ahead of time and stopped losing weight. I realized that was God reminding me that I made a commitment to Him and myself to improve my temple. Don't let anyone discourage you...you will be successful because we all fall down and that doesn't matter as long as we learn from it and get back up! GOOD LUCK 1 Five71202 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
