Okay, first thing, the reason I said cancel is because I am looking at radiation treatments for cancer after my lapband. By that time, school will be ready to begin again. I've decided that my bit of "cheating" was not extreme. I've had mostly some chunks of vegetables or chicken out of my soup broth that I did not strain thoroughly. Surely that can't be fatty enough to make a big difference in my liver. I've made a big weight loss during the past 2 weeks and otherwise been very faithful to the diet. I asked my doctor's nurse last week if I could have minestrone soup when we went out for my husband's 50th birthday.
