Does it really make you feel full with much less food? Or is it more of a controlling tool so you just cant take in more food & so you lose weight? You still be hungry, but your losing weight?

Interesting motivator to not eat too much..

If you can stick to the Atkins diet & not cheat while on it, you will lose the weight very fast. Its always been my fastest way of losing weight & without working out. I started mine 12 days ago & lost 10 pounds so far & yes I did cheat a little should of been more like 15 lbs if I would of not cheated. :smile2:

Tomorrow I go back to see my WLS doctor & this time we're gonna talk Lap Band.. I'm told its completely different then what I was taught in my 12 week class....? I guess I'll find out tomorrow at 10:30 am.

I'm new to learning about the Lap Band. & this sounds like a two week pre surgery diet they put you on for some reason right? & then I've heard about 6 weeks of healing before you can start to eat anything close to real food is this correct?

I actually live in Burbank, That's within Los Angeles county. Anyways I'm new to the site & I'm hear to learn more about lap band. I just completed a 12 week course at Kaiser about have WLS & yet when I completed the class I found myself having 2nd thoughts about it. I was originally gonna go for the Gastric sleeve being its not as hard core with re-routing my insides.. But the long list of side effects has me thinking more about the lap band now. I like the fact that I will still be able to sample different things to eat that could never try with the other WLS. I plan to visit the UK. next year for example & would like to sample all the different foods they offer there vs whats available here. & with the Lap Band I could still do this. With the other 2 options it might be a bad idea. If I get any sugar in my system it could ruin my vacation. :smile2: Anyways, I'll have lots of questions for you guys, so dont say you were not warned..
