hello all. i am on my 6 month wait and have to see my PCP monthly.

my start weight at my 1st visit with my lap band dr. was 240.4

i am now 232 as of july 30th.........

i am doing on my own ( dr. knows ) slim fast optima shakes 4x's a day and LOTS of Water.

also if i feel "munchy" i eat a low cal-low sugar popcile(yum)

i feel GREAT and by doing this i KNOW i can do the lap band :biggrin:

i dont miss solid food at ALL :biggrin:

you're not eating food?

lol , nope. no food. just slim fast shakes 4xs day ( equals 800 cal)

and the occasional pop cicle ( 50c each )

have went from 240.4 to 232 so far :wink2:

I'd be careful...doesn't sound too healthy.

my PCP knows what i am doing and says it is ok. all my bloodwork is great , and ......if i REALLY want something ( we went for pizza for my DH's bday ) i eat it

That's good. Just don't want you getting sick etc. Be careful and good luck.
