BetterL8ThanNever

If 5/5 is the diet he had put me on before surgery then here is what I did. Long before hand I knew I was going to be going to the low fat / low carb diet so I first off stopped drinking soda all together. I also started having an Atkins shake for breakfast with low fat/carb lunch and dinner. After about 2 weeks I started doing the shake for both breakfast and lunch still not being total strict about dinner. Then 3 weeks later when my diet was officially to start I restricted my dinner and added the light snacks between meals. Then 3 more weeks later was my surgery. From the time I started the process to the day of my surgery I lost 25 lbs in that 8 weeks time. I also had begun walking every day. It is essential to get out and walk EVERY DAY. At first I could only walk to the mail box in our appartment complex and back which isn't all that far. Check this out also. Dr. Kuri & Associates - LapBand
