Dr. Cohen's 1st Personal Diet

I was at the club and was accosted by a young lady in there about this diet. She said that she did this diet and it increased her metabolism/lost 30 lbs, ect. Sounded to me a little like the Dr, after the blood test, prescribed to her the south beach/atkins diet. Anyway, I guess a 390 lb guy on the elyptical does attract attention.

Has anyone else heard of this? Tried it? or do you think it's varience of the south beach. I'm thinking if it was documented to work, my dr would have done this for me.

I would have to say that almost every diet works...from Jenny Craig, to the cabbage Soup diet. BUT a diet is exactly what it is. When you are on it, you do well. The minute you go off you gain the weight back+. People need to go on a "life change" in order to keep the weight off; and the band is definitely a tool to help you change your life. :bolt:

There is a diet that's been around for awhile called the "blood type" diet. It is based on your blood type. certain foods are avoided and others base up the majority of your eating. Maybe that was it?

It sounds interesting, and I can see how analyzing the blood would tell someone certified what a person should eat more of or avoid... and the process at the end where they gradually get you to eating normally off the diet is a good idea.

But at the same time, it's also just another diet program on the list...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
