JoJoNYC 69 Posted January 6, 2015 Considering the amount of food I would eat through the day, I am really amazed that I am sailing right through this. With my lapband surgery just 8 days away. I think I have a great hold on this whole thing. Wish me luck!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samcat681 38 Posted January 7, 2015 I felt the same way. I am on day 13 of 14 days and I am amazed how well I have tolerated the "diet". Why have I not been able to be so dedicated in the past? I guess when you want something bad enough you will do anything it takes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gilmour 18 Posted January 17, 2015 I know that it helped me having a doctor direct me. Suddenly my diet became a medical issue for the first time. I stuck pretty strictly to the liver shrinking diet but after surgery the doc told me my liver was still pretty huge... :/ Anyway it was not a problem and he said some people just have big livers! The hardest part was the post surgical liquid diet. UGH! I could not stop watching food TV and looking at recipes for high Protein meals, waiting for my chance to eat meat again. Funnily enough, when I started eating "real food" nothing really satisfied like before, and I lost my cravings. I am 5 weeks post surgery and have decided not to have a fill yet. I am losing at a nice pace and am very careful about what I eat. Have had many instances of that "too full" feeling and want to avoid it. food and that "full feeling" just doesn't offer the same comfort anymore. I am looking at other ways to get those endorphins going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
