Any February 2013 Bandsters?

[SeaSounders♥ 225]

@ AbbieL welcome! Do not feel bad because you only want to lose 90 lbs that's my goal also I am only 5'2 so I know how it feels to have all of this extra weight on such a small frame.. No one is here to pass judgement only to Support each other!! Congrats to you on your miracle baby I am sure God willing you will have another 1 or 2

Abbie, welcome! I made the group before I saw we had threads here. But I'm told that the groups will be getting a face lift in the next few weeks so it should be easier to navigate and follow.

THere's about 20 of us right now in the Feb group.

im for surgery in belgium 26th feb.anyone else on that date?wasnt given an actual diet' date='just told to eat low fat for 2 weeks.anyone know whats the best option.low fat diet or Protein shakes?worried that liver will not have shrank enough(it must be massive by now!!)and will cause surgery problems[/quote']

I just met with my surgeon today. He said ANY diet will reduce the liver but Atkins and liquid (most common in us) are the most reliable.
