Yesterday went easy! I had 3 smallish bowls of Soup over the course of the day and snacked on blueberries & strawberries. I cant wait for today because I got some cans of zuchinni in Tomato sauce, I love that stuff with a little Parmesan sprinkled on it!

So, do you think I can squeeze Oreos into this diet anywhere? :paranoid

I just downed 6 oreos with a tall glass of 2% milk. (It might as well have been cream!) My husband got some Oreo dunkables for Father's Day & I hadn't touched them until today. Hey, I held out for 4 days, that's not too bad!!!!!! That sad thing is - I wasn't even hungry!!

What do you think? Should I start all over again & do day 1 again tomorrow or just continue with day 3? And I was doing so good!! DAMN COOKIES!!!! :speechles

Funny, I am so amazed with you & your progress. What is your secret?!?!?!?

[S@ssen@ch 745]

You guys are inspiring me. I think I'm gonna go out and try this. If that soup/stew is so darn great, I just may have to try it. I'm a Soup lover by nature so I think I could do this.

i have no secret. i have a man that looks at me with the look in this picture everytime i walk near the fridge. LOL

[EmileeKaye 1]

LOL Funny!! I have a man who gives me those looks too...but I keep walking and open the fridge anyways, then give him the look as I eat the cookie or brownie or bowl of ice cream....ok I'm going to go now.

Ok, I was going to take dear Rob and make a funny clown face on him, then give him back to Funny as a way to get around the fridge police. But... *looks sheepishly at Funny* he came evil.

*snorts*

[FunnyDuddies 6]

LOL a clown face on rob. somehow it is really hard to picture him that jolly and happy. LOL

[PhotoNut 7]

Maybe thats why it came out so evil? I'd stay away from the fridge if it were me! LOL!

I made my Soup yesterday and started this morning. My scale has not moved in weeks and this morning i was down 2lbs - haha - my body must have freaked out at the sound of only 'soup' and decided to play ball!! Well boo for it - i am going to do it anyway...

[lianna 3]

Today will be my 3rd day of the Soup. I am finding this easy, but TOM is due and I am freaking hungry all day long, literally. I am actually wishing it would just go ahead and GET HERE so these insane munchies cravings would go away. I did stay on track yesterday with the soup and my potato for dinner.......the only thing I had not allowed was half a cup of fatfree cottage cheese, not bad for a cheat.

on this diet....but that doesn't mean it'll stay off any more than other such junk as the "lemonade diet", which is similar but worse. They say they'll "remove impurities", which they will, as long as that means anything in your intestinal system. If you do this, be sure you're close to a bathroom.

Also, this is almost completely Protein free, and I don't believe a week without Protein is good for any of us. Protein is vital for good health, for building muscle (to replace that ugly fat), and on and on. Once your body is cleaned out and your GI system has its normal complement of food that is being processed in it you'll gain the weight back, same as on any other of the "lose ten pounds in a week" things.

Do they work? Yes. Are they healthy? No. Will you gain the weight back? Yes. Most of us have done this kind of nonsense many times before, and we lose ten pounds and gain back fifteen. Now that we're banded, why mess with this nonsense?

Hi Honu, you do have a good point, but did you read the entire diet? Day 4 & 5 are Steak days. That's LOTS of protein! You can eat as much as you want! You are correct, I have done this kind of nonsence before. However, because I have a band now, I am hoping the weight WILL stay off. I have been at a plateau for awhile & it has helped me jump start back into the game so I am thrilled with it.

I just don't see how eating lots & lots of vegetables can do anything but help you?! :rolleyes

Yes, there is Protein there assuming you make it that long. Most don't. Also, your body can't process more than about twenty grams of Protein at once, so if you cram it in it isn't benefitting that much.

You can eat as much as you want! You are correct, I have done this kind of nonsence before. However, because I have a band now, I am hoping the weight WILL stay off. I have been at a plateau for awhile & it has helped me jump start back into the game so I am thrilled with it.

Also, if your band has decent restriction you won't be able to eat that much protein....at least most won't be able to, assuming you don't blend it or something goofy like that. I've finally gotten to the point where I realize PLATEAUS DON'T MATTER. Actually they are often a time when your body is 'consolidating' after a period of losing. Many find that during a plateau their measurements are continuing to decrease, even if scale isn't going down. Remember, it is NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT THE scale SAYS.

Veggies are fine, though many with a tight band will find that cabbage gets stuck pretty easily. But, to each her (or his) own.

I want to try this but because im a dummy I need help. When it says green onions is it talking about chives or just a regular onion? Also I dont like bell pepper can I just omit that?
