My hard work paid off!

I just got the call from the Nutitionist at my Dr. office. She asked me my current weight and starting weight. Since I've already lost 9 lbs she said I don't have to do the liquid diet for 7 days. She said just stick to a low calorie (1000 cals) diet and drop a few more pounds that way! :clap2:

 

That was great news for me as that was a daunting prospect for me - being only on liquids pre-band for 7 days!

 

WHOOHOOO!!!! She suggested a low fat breakfast like Special K and low fat milk, a shake at lunch and 250 cals for dinner. Hot damn. I'm thrilled.

 

Then she warned me - some people lie about their start weight and have problems. Not a big deal for me since I know I'm not making it up - I just thought it was interesting that someone might lie about it....

Oh wow the liquid is usual to help shrink the liver. OK you made out like a bandit.

It is to shrink the liver but its more about the amount lost is what I gathered...Like as long as you lose, your liver shrinks.
