IM DEPRESSED RIGHT NOW. I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE TRYING TO LOSE 10LBS. WHY IS SO DAMN HARD. I FEEL LIKE I AM ON A STARVATION DIET. I HAVE TWO SHAKES A DAY AND CRYSTAL LIGHT ALL DAY AND ONE MEAL. BY MEAL TIME I EAT LIKE I HAVENT EATEN DAYS. I EAT LIGHT ALSO. BIG GIANT SALAD AND WHAT EVER IS IN THE CAFE AT WORK. SIGNED HOPELESS

My surgeon had me do the slim fast diet - 5 shakes a day, one meal and at least 64 oz of water a day. I lost 13lbs during the 2 week pre op diet. I still have my diet info if you would like to give it a try.

candace yes i will take a look at it. please send it.

kel thank you so much for that info. they have not offered a suppresant i wish they would. i was thinking about going to the weight doctor for pills

My husband has been diagnosed with diabetes. He tried the meds but he didn't like the way they made him feel so for the past year he has controlled his diabetes by eating the right food which is no carbs, sugar etc. He is my number one supporter. I am looking at this surgery like he did with his diabetes. The liquid is not going to be easy...I like to crunch but sonic has good ice. I am going to do this. I have to have my life back. WE CAN DO THIS. I am still seeing drs.and nutritionist. I haven't started pre op diet yet nor do I have a date set. It's coming soon. I am so ready. Good luck to everyone that has already begun their journey to healthy skinny.
