I'm not as far along in my journey as you but my doc requires to do a 6-week Optifast. I do know that when I do a low-carb diet in 2-3 days the hunger goes away, but I'm eating way more kcal than you.. I guess I don;t have any advice except Keep up the Great Attitude. You will have much success in what you've chosen if you stick to your happy, determined attitude! Good Luck! ps - I sound like a fortune cookie in that last sentence...lol

For a few years I knew I needed wls. I did a ton of research and waffled between the band and rny. I weighed (no pun intended) the pros and cons of each and could not make a decision (or actually made a thousand decisions - a different one everyday). They both just seemed to meet my needs but in different ways. So, last night I attended an info seminar and the doc presented the info about the 2 best known surgeries and...ta da...the sleeve! OMG this is the surgery I've been looking for!!! Weight loss average close to the rny with no rerouteing of vital internal bits and safer with less of a chance of malnutrition. No dumping and good weight loss. What more could I ask for???? Thank you Jesus for a middle ground.
