HI Mac, I would recommend you go to your regular health care professional for advice... they might be able to point you in the right direction, best of luck to you on your weight loss journey!

I recommend a low carbohydrate high Protein like south beach or Atkins. Many obese people eat way too many simple carbs which trigger hunger.

Southbeach is a very humane eating style. As a vegetarian, it worked pretty well for me (until it didn't!) Choosing low glycemic index carbs makes such a difference.

Basically im doing atkins and ive lost 11 oounds since dec 18th with a couple cheat days and light exercise I have been talking to,my doctor she says diet exercise and recommends wls

I decided on WLS last December. Since then I have been on several programs. Each had a reason

Jan and Feb-- on my own. Cut down portions and did a Protein meal replacement for lunch on work days.

Mar-Aug. -- medically supervised program: 3-4 oz lean high quality Proteins, veggies, some carbs, lots of Water.

Sept Pre- op liquid diet. 3-4 Protein shakes per day and lots of water

Oct 3 ----- sleeve Surgery. 1 week of Clear liquids, 3 weeks of thick liquids.

Nov. Soft proteins ground chicken, ground turkey , tuna, cottage cheese

Dec - lean proteins. Chicken turkey fish etc. no beef, pork , or veal.

I am grateful for the help I got along the way. I have all of these programs in my bag of tricks. I can, and do mix and match them to control what I eat.

Next week I get steak! Woo hoo!

I have lost 65 pounds in 2013. 35 pounds more to go. I feel great. This has been a life changing experience.

I wish all of you a Happy, Healthy, and Successful. 2014!
