Day 74 To Day 81 – Death From Gastric Bypass, A New Size Again , My Husbands First Appointment

Hey guys, I know what you are going through. Please, please do not stop eating! I did this and almost died. I was so nauseated all of the time and I would rather not eat than have to drink that chicken broth one more time. I stopped eating and STOPPED losing! My kidneys started failing, I could barely walk 2 steps and was in the hospital for 2 weeks JUST because I stopped eating. My body went into Metabolic death and I could'nt lose a pound. It took me 2 months of eating healthy, drinking the water and 75 grams of protein, extra vitamins, herbs and excercise to get back on track. Had my surgery in July 2011 and have lost 67lbs, I should have lost my goal of 100 by now but I am at a plateau right now and happy. I could have died, all because I wanted to do it MY way. Please, please stick to the diet, you have made an incredible decision to change your life and you will be so happy when you see the final results and how fabulous you feel. God bless you and keep eating!!!
